you know man youtube ads wouldnt be so bad if they were a specific and knowable length like sometimes it gives you an "ad" and its like an unending bizarre skit that no one on earth is ever going to watch and you HAVE to stop everything youre doing and skip it. like. cable TV ads were less obtrusive

That's another wonderful thing about following ONE's work - he's getting REALLY FUCKING GOOD within his chosen art style! He has a unique expression all his own, but it NEVER looks like Yusuke Murata's hyper-detailed polished remake. It's rough, it's scribbled, it's "bad anatomy," it's "amateurish."

Honestly, the work of ONE might be one of THE most powerful counters to AI boosterism bullshit.
This guy is one of the more popular modern comic artists, he has millions of people following his stories. And he did it with art that looks like THAT.

I'm so lost on Swen's (Larian CEO) doubling down on using ChatGPT for powerpoints and pre-production concepting despite A) admitting it adds no value to the pipeline and B) having no shareholder interests pressing down on him. Literally just seems like he got grifted and this is sunk cost phallacy

concept artists have been iterating on ideas for decades, they're trained to do it efficiently
if you as a company want to sacrifice quality for quantity then that's on you, and it WILL show in the product, it WILL look sloppy

Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?
Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.
