The future of the games industry isn't looking good:
>It appears Blizzard Entertainment may want to integrate AI into the art pipelines for its games. A patent application filed on April 27 (and first spotted by GameRant) shows the World of Warcraft developer wants to patent AI-generated artwork to be used as in-game assets.
>AI-generated art has been a controversial topic in the video game art community. While it's been viewed as a way to create art assets at a faster pace, game artists have been candid in saying the use of such technology may put them out of a job.
>Were Blizzard to begin using AI art in its games, it could be seen as legitimizing the technology across the game industry at large. The technology has already been popularized thanks to programs like Midjourney and ChatGPT, and shared throughout social media in recent months.
>Outside of artwork, game studios have been using AI in other fields such as voice acting and overall game design. Similar to visual art, AI usage in voice acting has been controversial, with voice actor SungWon Cho calling it "disrespectful to the craft," as several actors claimed they were asked to sign their voices away to AI companies.
>Earlier this week, System Shock Remake developer Nightdive Studios said it would be using AI to create in-game art and in "other areas" of game development. Amidst growing concerns about AI's place in the industry, Nightdive said its AI usage would "never be at the expense of using skilled people or their creative talents."
>At time of writing, Blizzard has yet to comment on the patent or its general stance on using AI in its games.

Good. Accelerate.
Bingo bango.
You do realize at every point in history it was always accelerating? The technological singularity is always just 30 years away, no matter which point in history you look at it.
Good. Accelerate.
you morons have been mewling about games being rehashed SOVLESS slop for years and now we're about to witness a new era of truly SOVLESS, recycled, rehashed media at the hands of AI and you're clapping and cheering
Video game art is not the problem with modern video games, anon. It's the lack of fun and greedy practices. Not to mention the hyperbolic audiences, but that's another topic for another day.
you think it will stop at just the art?
That's what we are talking about. I don't think AI can replace the human element in any products yet.
art is a human element, anon, and it was replaced. Writing and programming can be replaced too.
Good. Accelerate.
it was enhanced not replaced
>SOVL vs SOVLLESS
now the right image has become a dime a dozen thing so it's worthless
they're both worthless but the right is better
yes but it doesn't matter as they're worthless
I would much rather play whatever video game is on the left, no question at all
moron
great argument, Black person
Honestly it's the writers that need to be replaced, even if AI writing is soulless Blizzard and most AAA writing is negative soul, it actively drains whatever charm the rest of the game may have contained.
I think AI has tons of soul though.
Pajeet shills have been working overtime to make sovless AI slop the new norm.
if it's trained on their house style and shits out the same recycled garbage, fine. what's different between an unthinking, algorithmic process churning out mediocre slop with no artistic merit, and letting the ai do it?
the mediocre slop is better than 99% of art out there
Have you seen wc3 reforged?
>leftist homosexual artists becoming irrelevant.
GOOD.
I love seeing homosexuals that draw porn crying over AI shit on twitter.
Can't make money by drawing dicks anymore because the ai does it better and for free?
TOO BAD homosexual, GET FRICKED.
Also nightdvive is based and the system shock remake was a masterpiece.
I have no counter argument but I'll say it sucks to be devalued, I guess the world owes me nothing
it's not even about money but just the feeling of your craft becoming worthless
It's a net positive for humanity. I didn't see anyone crying when the drill replace the hammer and nail
maybe, I'm not a humanist so I don't care
but it can also hint at something more dystopian, if human pursuits become obsolete then all that's left is consuming content, I think it's debatable if this is a net positivity
Using AI to create is just a productivity booster. You guys act like it's a replacement when it isn't.
if AI does the creating then it's replacing creators
In the short term the people who curate what it creates have lots of things to do but it's obvious they'll be phased out gradually as the capabilities of these systems increase
It's enabling anyone to be a creator or director, either way people are creating. It's just a tool.
your reading comprehension is kind of fricking shit, right now I prompt the shit out of stable diffusion for example but when these systems get more powerful they need less input from me
I can read just fine.
> right now I prompt the shit out of stable diffusion for example but when these systems get more powerful they need less input from me
And they will still be a tool. It doesn't matter how good they get.
you're delusional if you think that these systems can't generate ideas
>where do these ideas come from it's just a tool
using data collection from social media to see what people like and engage with and then using that as a base for figuring out what "ideas" work and what don't, just a simple idea but I don't see why you can't have an automated system doing this
It doesn't matter if they can, they'll still be generating our ideas.
why?
Because it's a tool you dumbass. The "ideas" coming from an AI are just strokes of a brush but we're still controlling the brush.
moron
your reading comprehension truly is shit, if you have a system in place that takes in data that shows what people engage with then this system could in theory output content that people will engage with, all on its own
It isn't shit, you're just moving the goalposts like some kind of an autist. Robots aren't bad either, the computers we're using now were built by them.
I'm not moving goalposts I've repeated myself many times because you're a moron
I guess that's the end of this conversation then
yes, I'll end it by calling you a troony
Pathetic losers crying about technological improvement.
I'm not crying about it, I engage with these hip new AI systems every day, you're actually a fricking moron
if you purchase a frozen food and heat it up in the microwave, do you imagine you're the one that cooked that meal?
People don't complain about a better tool making things easier for human workers, but people have absolutely complained about automation eliminating human workers entirely. And that's in the context of menial manual labor with no avenue for human expression. Abdicating creativity and passion to a machine that is incapable of either is several thousand orders of magnitude worse.
The people that chose to hire leftist homosexual artists and paid them to turn games into leftist homosexual garbage will be the ones telling the AI what to vomit out. That part isn't changing. The troony Black person protagonists will just have an average of six fingers per hand and their monkey gibbering will sound like it was run back and forth through google translate a couple of times.
>People don't complain about a better tool making things easier for human workers
Actually they do. In this thread. And automation is a good thing, t's happened to countless industries already.
it's good for the end users as in consumers, it's bad for the creators
It's good for both of them.
>jarvis generate a hip pop song that's popular
yeah I guess creators are still creating because they had this brilliant idea of asking the AI to generate something...
Yes. Keep crying over technology though, it's genuinely amusing seeing you cope.
well you're just being a colossal homosexual, facts aside
Using a paint brush on a canvas instead of your fingers on a cave wall is an improvement in tools.
Getting a monkey to smear shit on a canvas and claiming its "work" as your own is not.
Shit like stable diffusion and Adobe's AI helper is just the beginning.
Every artist/graphics designer that shunned useful skills before, like knowing how to handle printing data, abusing tools of art software to draw quicker/more precise with less effort, will just be even more left behind.
My GF works for an ad agency and she already uses AI tools quite well. So well in fact her boss gave her a raise of 500 eurobucks because he was scared she would get hired by someone else.
The market will change big time, but not the way people think.
We'll just see people in 10-20 years work with integrated AI and those wo can't do that will be workingas MC donalds delivery drivers.
>people in 10-20 years
>work
bruh
Yes moron, people will work in the future.
Several jobs will require physical people present.
Shit you could automate now takes an act of god or dumb luck. Look at the C-suite Black folk and upper middle management.
You could automate all of those morons and just use a single Ceo with an AI to handle decision making.
Will any big corporation do that? Lolno, people in c suite positions or just below that want their big bicks, despite costing the company the most money.
I'll laugh my ass off though if one company actually does replace all the bigwigs with AI and sudddenly makes more money. Shit would be hilarious.
in china that already happened, it outperformed the stock market average

>Hello rich peope of the world, I am a deranged old german wearing a kimono.

Yeah, no. Old Klaus is a senile lunatic that sells magic beans to billionaires.
He's a spokesperson of the elites you mongoloid.
no
He's the ceo of the WEF.
I know what his moronic plan entails: words words words.
Elites in the west want one thing: get more money. Klaus Schwab's "more equitable, resilient and environmental friendly" plan is just the new greenwashing, like CO2 certificates.
They'll do frickall and leave real problems like mass migration, politcal and societal extremism and record crop failures to the unwashed masses to deal with.
>”spokesperson”
>calling anyone else a mongoloid
~~**~~
The best bit is we replaced the hammer with a nail gun and people still choose to use hammers.
No sympathy for homosexuals that have pronouns in their bios and BLM.
Nearly all those artistis are stupid lefties and they deserve nothing good.
These homosexuals play a huge role in videogames being beyond pozzed these days.
Thats bullshit, theres plenty of right wing porn artists aswell, what a weird ass assumption to put a craft into a political bias
not him but 99% of the time you see someone complaining about that stuff on twitter it's a BLM troony
that's cool but maybe you should go back there instead?
BLM troonys complain about everything on twitter, theyre loud but they surely arent 80% of the porn artists
Meds. Take them.
And of course the /misc/Black person had to make it about politics.
Did pornartists kill your parents or whats your problem
>/pol/tard
Ah nevermind, sorry for your condition
Aw, too bad. Let me play you a sad song on the world's smallest violin.
This is potentially good if it cuts down on dev time and allows for more lower budget AA games to be made. Not from Blizzard, frick Blizzard, but from other better companies. Focus on making the gameplay stellar and let the AI handle shit like art and story that don't matter as much for AA shit.
>Blizzard
Wow, its fricking nothing
>patent AI-generated artwork
This is so fricking stupid.
>wants to patent AI-generated artwork to be used as in-game assets
I hope they do
if you are for ai, you are an aitroonyzoomer and that is not up for debate
and what do aitroonyzoomers do specifically that troubles you enough to earn your ire?
they make art and talk to chatbots
i don't see how that's your problem.
it's unforgivable
>resorts to name calling because he can't refute facts
Sad.
>Blizzard eyeing AI art when their art team is the only part of the company anyone has an amount of respect for anymore
lol
lmao
Cool that means they won't be able to copyright their shit anymore.
dumbass
You can't patent artwork. Patents, copyright and trademarks are three completely separated things. Artwork isn't patentable.
Either they're trying to patent using AI to make art, which is as ridiculous as trying to patent using a mouse to interact with a PC, or they're trying to patent a specific AI they made.
Might be good if they dont neuter it. The ai might draw people who aren't Blacks.
Damn Diablo 4 is like 99% Blacks

LMAO it's just a couple AI kiddies replying to everyone else!
I'm just glad so many, games, movies, art and music was made before this AI thing becomes the new norm. I can generally ignore any new IP with a clear conscious knowing that it's just soulless-whatever-machine bullshit.
>Were Blizzard to begin using AI art in its games, it could be seen as legitimizing the technology across the game industry at large
No one in the known universe believes this. Even if you have no problems with AI generated art having Blizzard as a spokesperson is about as appealing as having your products formally endorsed by Marc Dutroux.
>Blizzard want more AI
So they become Bliizzaard.
>posts a 3 month old nothing burger
>tool used to duplicate rocks
>half of this greentext is utterly pointless to the subject you're trying to talk about
An AI writer would probably be better than Blizzard's current scriptwriters.
not if the higher ups have it continuing to rehash the same slop
Can they even patent it if other games are already doing it?
Depends on the usage, if its for random ass assets and rather unimportant parts of the game why not, especially concept art will benefit from it because theyve been photobashing, etc anyways
Honestly, why not try it, new tools are new tools and in the hands of actual artists and not spite-ridden, uncreative greedtards it could produce some cool stuff
I liked AI when it was just prompting things like warwick davis burning in hell but the moment no skill homosexuals started to brag about their prompting I lost all interest in AI as any legitimate form of art
that doesn't make sense
maybe you should take a break from this thread and go fricking have a nice day or something else productive
