>>44804647That was fast, think I caught him just as he woke up, here's what he said on the subject:
"There's no problem in using AI for art studies, idea generation and inspiration seeking. There are already many references like using 3d models to figure out difficult poses, or using other in-engine goodies for making concept art. It's all about being transformative.
The problem only occurs when an artist's work is used for training without consent and then published later on without credit or under false pretense.
Art has always been about learning through imitation and reconstruction, whether that be reality or another artist's work.
But if you say "I made this" after just feeding it some Riot Games concept art, that's pushing your luck.
However, I can't really see a problem in wanting to learn - maybe there are some not-very-smart lessons to learn from generated content, but overall they hit their fundamentals right on.
So if that is what this guys passion is, why deny it?"
This was translated so wording might be a bit fucky.>>44807057Let me be clear, I'm not saying I dislike the blocks or think you should stop, just trying to let you see my point of view on it, and I absolutely am not a representation of the entire thread, different strokes.
