Six months ago, Battlefield's director also said they'd only use genAI behind the scenes and generated images would never make it to the final game. Guess what just happened?
That's why I'll never trust Larian or developers who say that they use it only 'a little' and not for the final product.

I hate when people use the term "human artists" because it implies there are other kinds of artists. And no, the diffusion model isn't an artist.

The only way to fight this is to cause financial pain for Disney. They're especially vulnerable to losing Disney+ subscriptions - cancel it and just pirate Disney's stuff.
If they're okay with OpenAI's piracy, then it's morally correct to do the same to them.

Here is a French Christmas ad for a supermarket. It has infinitely better look, story, and message. It actually sparks joy in you rather than leaving you depressed, unlike Coca-Cola and McDonald's AI ads.

An analyst cites AI slop as one of the reasons why the new Call of Duty underperformed. Hopefully, other CEOs will learn the lesson. 🙄

Oh really
Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy

In other news, OpenAI's Sora has dropped out of the top 20 most-downloaded apps in the US. In Japan, it's fallen out of the top 100.
The only place where it's still doing relatively well is Canada, where it's currently ranked 13th.

For the first time ever, ChatGPT’s App Store revenue declined month over month.
Are those the 'economic headwinds' that Sam Altman was talking about? His promises were based on the assumption of never-ending growth, not 5% revenue drops, so funding $1 trillion AI projects might get tricky.

Court documents show that the CEO of Krafton, an "AI-first company," was asking ChatGPT how to weasel out of paying the bonuses his employees rightfully earned.
He fired the studio heads and delayed the game so the studio wouldn't meet the deadline.

Billionaires be like: "Low birth rates will end civilization." and lobby to ban normal porn.
And a month later they launch a pornbot fine-tuned for addiction.

Just heard Drew Struzan passed away 😞 His incredible work has given me and countless others so much awe, joy and inspiration!
I had posters of his work as a teen, I began using color pencils because I thought he used them too. Always inspired by him. Just utterly heart broken.
RIP Drew Struzan.
