This Is True But Also, People Who Use AI Typically Do Not Want Something New, They Want Something That

This is true but also, people who use AI typically do not want something new, they want something that already exists, but in a lesser form they can claim ownership over. The primary use case of AI is to plagiarize, to reorder someone else's work, no matter whose, and put it on a leash.

The more you understand AI, the more you realize that it can't replace artists. It just can't. Even using the AI to make something requires being a creative human with an idea. Generative AI literally runs on a data set, it cannot conceptualize things that do not already exist -- or even things that DO but aren't in its data. And honestly, sometimes even the best models have a pretty hard fucking time conceptualizing things that very much do exist in their data set. The whole concept of creativity revolves around being able to conceptualize a unique idea that lives inside your brain. Being able to regurgitate things that already exist and being able to flesh out a fully original idea are completely opposite things. Even when you are prompting an AI model to generate something that you thought up, you have to explain it in terms of things that already exist so the AI can create it from those pre-existing pieces. If AI existed in 1930 you could not ask it to generate an image of gollum, because Tolkien did not create him yet. Do you see what I'm saying??????

Hello! Welcome on my blog!

I'm a queer, disabled, freelance artist and gamedev, currently working on Fadunn:

itch.io

FADUNN Prototype by tootkin, Ether, Hidden Vale

Unlock alchemical seals and progress through a derelict garden in this puzzle game prototype.

Fadunn is a puzzle game inspired by Shapez and SOLAS128, where you play as an alchemist building pipelines of weird alembics to move, rotate, cut and assemble shapes to match the seal on the door to the next level.

I am currently in the process of remaking the whole game from the ground up, this time in 3D! You can read the devlogs on my blog!

I work with Godot, Blender and Krita, on a Linux distro no less!

I also draw a lot! You can check out my art account @tootkin-art or my portfolio on Cara, You can even commission me, either by DM or at Tootkin [at] protonmail.com =)

Please consider supporting me on LiberaPay if you can! it would mean the world to me!

Klumbo my beloved…

I believe everything should be offline, I believe that every time something that is not your internet browser (and I'm being generous here) should have a big red alert that says THIS PIECE OF SHIT PROGRAM NEEDS TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET AND REQUESTS YOUR CONSENT TO DO THIS SPECIFIC THING, and you had to touch a big red button and it would disconnect as soon as you close it.
