Good luck. The saying goes, it's easier to find a job when you have a job.

That's all you can do. Just make sure they treat you right too.

Congratulations! It was a long road to watch you walk. Hope the new job treats you well.

Art isn't something you make in a factory. It takes time and inspiration. You can't force art to happen. If you do, the art itself suffers.
A schedule for art is a goal, not a prison. You make fun art. It doesn't have to come out rapid fire.

You have yet to offer better and I still stand by it being apt. I have far more supporting arguments than you've offered so... all I can say is that's just... like... your opinion, man.

In this entire thread, which has split into a tree of sorts, I have only replied once to each of your posts. There are two instances where i replied twice for clarification or explanation. You are exaggerating again.

Correction, just about anything metal. Of course there were jewelers for finer items, but limiting to iron is also an inaccuracy on my part.

Blacksmiths made anything iron. They made metal toys and art. Barrel bands and doorknobs. Chandeliers and kitchen knives. Anchors and handrails. They made fences and horseshoes to order with variance and creativity They were not limited to arms and armor. They were not *just* factories for the army.

You keep saying i'm upset. I don't think that means what you think it means. I also never said i wouldn't accept arguments, just that my mind would not be changed. To someone else even. You're attributing emotion to flat text on a screen. You know what they say about assumptions.

Both are services that produce a product to be used by an end user. Both require multiple components to be made. Both require a certain level of quality to sell. Both require skill and effort, and even artistry depending on the end product. A scribe would have also sufficed. Do you have better?

Science. I'm wondering just how many times you'll reply just to get the last word. Of course this inadvertently this means I'm also chasing the last word, but i feel our reasons diverge. Mine is sheer curiosity with a touch of boredom.
Also you ruined the bit. Terrible form.

I didn't need to explain it to anyone else but you. Just because you didn't like it doesn't make it bad.

Just saying "That is a bad analogy" is an attack on the character of the creator by stating opinion as fact, it is not an attack on the argument. It is not a counterpoint.
That is an Ad Hominem, not some "personal attack" I'm getting emotional about as you'd like to imagine. It's just what it IS.

I was stating my stance in 300 characters. Some nuance is missed. I never said they aren't "allowed" I am stating my view on the matter.
I am saying that I will not support a game that uses AI because I view it the same as stealing assets and claiming them as their own. It is not valid in my view.

If I can't buy beef, I can't afford to open a steakhouse. If I can't rent a storefront and buy books, I can't afford to run a bookstore.
If you can't afford to hire an artist, you can make art yourself or you can't afford to make a game that requires art assets. That's just. How it works.

It is not "bullying" to say that they should hire an artist instead of using a plagarization machine. And "the big guy is doing it" isn't a justification. It's having an opinion on the product being put on the market. I wouldn't buy a swingset made with salvaged wood and rusty nails. I won't buy AI.

Artists are service providers employed by an employer. The employer takes the place of the lord or king in this instance, so they must source the materials and tools or find an artist with their own. So in this instance the "king" went around and pieced together broken horseshoes.
Analogy fits.

No, i said you were attacking the person rather than the argument. A point of fact.
I also posted once per your responses. In one i did need two to clarify a point, just as you have just now in fact! Exaggerating is unbecoming.
But... well, as someone once said... Whatever makes you feel better.

The legality is tenuous at best. It's the novelty that has it in a legal grey area. If we look at law at base, the way the models were trained certainly seems to break copyright law. Lockpicks are legally available. I can't legally use them on locks I don't own.

"Your arguments are bad" "You're ranting" "You're not sensible" and "I didn't read it all" is not a debate.
You have yet to say anything of value or oppose the argument made. You've just painted me as unable to make an argument. If you actually had an argument, I'd be happy to engage with that.

Ah, the other sign of backing out of an argument. The classic "Oh I didn't read it all" as if that somehow justifies your position. I have been nothing but civil, so it's not a "rant."
You just... don't have a leg to stand on and now you're throwing out repeated nothings to get the last word.

I still hold it's a fine analogy since we are speaking of making an end product . The onus is on you to prove it is "bad" or offer a "better" one if you think mine bad.
Instead, you shift to another Ad Hominem by trying to paint me as "not sensible" and "raging" while I'm calm as. Projection maybe?

That is talking about me. You are saying i, the person, made a bad analogy rather than arguing the point.
And my analogy isn't bad. It is speaking of creating an end product using materials and tools. GenAI pieces together a Frankensteins stitchwork of other people's finished products.
