All you have to do is look at the ed tech pushed over the last few decades! Little of it worked, unless you assume the goal is to find ways to stop paying teachers and professors.

Square Enix is partnering with an AI research lab at the University of Tokyo to "improve the efficiency of game development processes."

You've probably already seen it and sorry I can't/won't get back to every single tag, but I was among those that spoke to Edmond about the nature of concept art and the influence of AI

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

So what should you call your cat?
Easy! Domestic shorthair or domestic longhair.
Then you add their color if you're feeling fancy.
If you want me to identify your cat's coat color, share a pic or two and I'll tell you! (Well, my best guess without knowing parentage or genetics)

FYI if you cannot read the language of a primary source, hire a translator. You know. A creative arts professional who understands what they’re doing, what you’re looking for and what the nuances between languages are.
We do not throw fellow creators under the bus, especially not for stolen slop.

More comic writers need to be willing to make/provide reference photos like this one in their scripts, I am so serious!
Stick figures are helpful! Don’t let lack of drawing “skills” hold you back from making your vision explicitly clear to the artist! 👇

I do want to clarify your ideas don't need to be deep and profound.
"This elf is a badass archer." is an idea. The challenge is how do you show your audience. This could be anything from a stick figure to a hyper realism. I used to say no wrong answers, but now, only one wrong answer. (GenAI)

The very first lecture I had at art school, told us that we weren't there to learn to make beautiful images. We were there to learn to communicate ideas. (That could sometimes be beautiful but also not.)
If we wanted to make "soulless beauty" we were pointed to the door.
This was 20 years ago.

once again, thinking about this. I do not know how much more collective grief and fear and death you need to see from us before it moves you to action. call your reps. okay, you don't wanna call for xyz reasons; understand that your next moves will be less effective but still, MAKE THEM.
if you're a U.S. voter and you claim to want more for trans folks than just visibility, you can dedicate 2 to 8 minutes to us a week.
