I don't feel threatened by AI anything.

Not too long ago I tried out this starryAI website. The idea is that you enter some text -- my son told me to enter "Cat dressed up like James Bond" --  and the AI came up with this . . .


Gamewise, I even found text-adventure-like AI Dungeon to be ultimately disappointing. Sure, the ability to type in anything and have the AI move the plot forward based on your input is a very cool concept. But there were many times where the AI failed miserably -- like forgetting character's names two sentences later or suddenly mentioning a skyscraper in an ancient fantasy world.

And this is all besides the fact that AI Dungeon and similar programs cost a LOT to even keep running and you have to be online for them to work. 

Like alicecomma implied , I don't even see AI being very good for concept art -- or concept story, for that matter.

Ultimately, human-created content is going to prevail.

but have you checked the results by midjourney or dall-e? that type of evolution is scary

I've been making art all my life in different styles and media. I think the reason that I don't find AI art frightening, is because I don't see art as sacred. I don't see a crime against humanity here.

Ok but some of us like to make a living from out art. So permit me to be scared of dying homeless on a street

I understand that the people complaining are worried about their livelihood. That's like getting mad at robots for replacing manual labor.

So I saw today that there is a new AI text to image generator called Stable Diffusion. You can try it out here.

I ran the same test and here's what it came up with:


I think we can all agree that these AI results are much better. That being said, if I were trying to use this as concept art for a game, it's in the right ballpark, but you can tell by looking at the images that they have this "odd" look to them,  like if you tried making something with real Lego bricks and an assortment of knock-off Lego bricks.

I have to mention- there are apps now where you can refine your prompt / re-run certain sections of the image to get the program to 'try again' on the parts that seem off. This is how DALL-E's studio mode works. Users are able to pretty easily get rid of the mistakes/dreamy qualities of the image

Midjourney will put out a ton of images per prompt, then let you 'breed' the ones you like (selecting images, then re-running the prompt with those images as influence) until you like what you see
