I really hope that lawmakers and AI companies can clear this up soon, because I think AI art could be a massive thing for gaming. In particular by generating small variances so that the world doesn't feel so copy paste.
For example, consider a map with a large office building (like in the game Control). There's so many assets needed to avoid feeling copy paste. You'll notice if the game reuses the contents of whiteboards, which isn't realistic. In real offices, we can expect every single whiteboard will likely have different contents (with the exception of blank ones). They probably will have lots in common, but they wouldn't be exactly the same. A human creating dozens of hundreds of unique whiteboards isn't a very good use of time, especially if we're talking about one of many minor assets that aren't even meant to be paid close attention to. An AI, on the other hand, could generate the many variations we'd expect to see. We can even have a human design a couple and ask the AI to make similar ones.
This isn't even all that new. We've had procedural generation (which is not AI) of stuff like height maps and trees for ages now. But we're finally able to generate entire textures (and perhaps eventually entire 3D models) very easily and while fitting into a specific theme.
Finally, for indie games, developing art can be a major challenge. There's countless programmers who want to make games and are good programmers, but they're not good artists. AI generated art could help make being a one person dev more viable. And even when the dev is an artist, it could simply save them a lot of time on what's a very time consuming part of game dev. eg, AI would be good at generating the profile pictures of characters that RPGs often show during dialogue.
Terrible. And while we don't have enough details at this time to do anything but guess, I wonder if incel and anti-feminist rhetoric had an impact here. Gender studies as a subject is heavily loathed by those types, sometimes to the degree of wishing violence on them.
I'm sorry, are you saying you indent the braces? Cause if that's not unintentional, those are both horrifying!
I've seriously written things like this in proposals before. But there's more emphasis on stuff like how we can make do without the change or that there's workarounds. Or in some cases, it's actually to have a place to point out what will happen if we do nothing (eg, by doing nothing, we risk a major outage in the next year).
It's really hard to get them started though. Especially when I want a discussion on the topic now. I actually did try and start my local city sub and it was me shouting into the void as the only poster. It's not very fun posting stuff without ever getting replies.
At 7 a.m. on Wednesday, the Air Quality Health Index measure for Kitchener was a 6, or “moderate risk.” This is coming down from a 10+, or “very high risk” rating hours earlier at 3 a.m. The local forecast is calling for parts of Waterloo Region to return to “very high risk” levels during the day and into the evening Wednesday.
You know what, I can answer my own question. From reverse image search: https://wallhere.com/en/wallpaper/70953
The reverse search also found this reddit post of the same place but different angle (a little better quality, but still pretty bad): https://www.reddit.com/r/Breath_of_the_Wild/comments/uu9rvc/nature_overtakes_an_abandoned_tunnel_in_france/
I like the picture, but it's a very low resolution. Is there a better quality version somewhere?
