Explain why AI art in games is "bad".

fuck off chris

kill yourself cris

It looks bad. When it stops looking bad I'll stop complaining.

because you need to heckin pay people

Kill yourself Cris.

why does this cat looks wrong?

its fine if you dont have the resources and or talent
no excuse for big companies to use it though except maybe for rapid prototyping

"kids these days have it too easy. hard times make strong men- "

"WOAH IS THAT ANOTHER ELECTRONIC CONVENIENCE TOOL? I WILL ADOPT THIS INTO MY LIFE ASAP. I WILL USE THIS TO REPLACE LABOR"

It looks bad in ways that are hard to pick with a quick glance.
It's literally a nightmare generator.

It's AI or a munchkin cat, little guys have stubby legs and tail.

This is why

Most people just sperg out about new thing bad.
I don't like it personally because developers should proportionally adjust their pricing for their games if they used AI, which they don't.
If their game suddenly costs only half the money to produce, I'm only willing to pay half the price for it

reminder

It sets a bad precedent for the future and shits upon creations of the past

Because PAY US PAY US FUCKING PAY US!!

It's not. Just make the game cheaper in accordance to the savings you got from not hiring artists.

Because its crap and shows a lack of effort
also kys Cris

Cat is real. Name is "uni" on twitter I think

munchkin cat

why does that shit exist,lol?

I was in that thread. The same nigger posted the "muh soul" replies to his AIslop because nobody was biting. Everyone could tell it was AI from the hands

okay I'll lower the price from $200 to $90

Just like how people that couldn't draw were jealous of artists so too are normies jealous of people that can use AI.

You have a pencil, just draw!

You have access to AI, just prompt!

I was in that thread. Why are you lying?

Means the game has no thought put into it.

Because it's obvious and kills my immersion.

NTA but I was in it too. Why are YOU lying?

That thread never existed, ChatGPT was asked to generate a Anon Babble thread highlight meme about AI art

It's not bad. As long as it's used sparingly and there is quality control, people won't even notice.

Okay I'll just wait for a proper sale then. See you in a few years.

STUPID cat!

This would depend largely on what I'm playing. If its some trashy online shooter game I don't really care if the flavor of the week cosmetics are ai generated. I would still expect single player narrative games to be developed by human minds and not computers, but that's more because I'm deliberately seeking out something with an artistic vision in that context. The line is a bit hard for me to draw because intellectually I understand that video games are already computer generated simulations so the addition of more computer generated simulation isn't unexpected. We don't complain about the characters in the game being made of "AI" but its suddenly a problem if the design of their clothes was made using it seems a bit silly to me logically .

But what about my large automobile?
Or my beautiful house?
Or my beautiful wife?

Anon Babble is filled with failed artists. Didn the Loomis threads not tip you off?

hey, that weren't called for.

explain why scratching the sofa is bad

We're cruel and breed animals to suit our needs or wants. I get it though, I only buy pure bred dogs.

they hate it. never again shall they be fooled, even if they have to slay eachother.

Anon Babble is filled with failed artists. Didn the Loomis threads not tip you off?

The funniest thing to me is that these ""artists"" will cry about not getting any attention and then turn down offers to work on games, comics and etc. And then after this they shit on people for using AI.

Anon Babble is filled with failed artists

Like the OP.

I did not make this thread.

lmao.

you fags are obssesed with me, lol.

STUPID puss!
FOOLISH kitten!
Begone!

AI's steal the art of real artists to train on generating AI "art".

isn't chris dead?

It's like this. If you're on Anon Babble chances are you obsess over videogames. You probably at some point in your life wanted to make one.
Like most normie people it's more about the artistry for you and probably don't have that much imagination in regards to mechanics.

This makes sense, videogames are a mostly visual medium and if you have ideas it most likely begins with the artistic concept before underlying mechanics.

So I bet at some point, a lot of Anon Babble tried art, but due to poor discipline lack of real interest they bailed.

AI rolled around and insulted their value of art, because it was herculean task that they failed.

Yes to most artists it is insulting, because AI takes their work and it takes many many hours to actually get good. at it, but lets not pretend that it's actual artists on Anon Babble seething about it.

Most artists I know have started using it as a tool to help their own art.

if this FUCKING CAT don't

never make your hobby your job. people who make video games usually end up hating them.

His name is "big boobs" though

There are people on Anon Babble who can't consume an entire rotisserie chicken in one sitting.

Never make your hobby your job

If you love your job you never work a day in your life

contradicting advice and I don't actually think what you've said is true.

Being a code monkey or an artist for a game isn't the same as playing a game.

it's fine but seriously needs quality control

Most people on Anon Babble don't have toxoplasmosis either.

a code monkey or an artist

both of those jobs are gone due to AI.

LMAO THIS NIGGA HAS SHORT LEGS

I wonder to what extent AI is being used in the industry right now.
I don't mean in npc behaviour in games, but to help with production.
Concept art? Lore filler? Debugging?
I'm 100% sure ALL the major developers are using it, one way or another.

It's a red flag basically. If you are so cheap you can't or won't hire an actual artist, what else are you possibly cheaping out on? Especially when things like art direction and character design remain so very important when it comes to making your game distinct and appealing.

Yes to most artists it is insulting, because AI takes their work and it takes many many hours to actually get good. at it, but lets not pretend that it's actual artists on Anon Babble seething about it.

Most artists I know have started using it as a tool to help their own art.

Pretty much this, that or they simply don't care for it. Every well-respected and known artist, composer and writer that weren't twitter addicts generally see AI as a situational tool or a neat toy, they don't have neurotic break downs like Anon Babble (and the rest of Anon Babble) does about it. Like you said, it probably has nothing to with copyright infringement, ethics, artistry or whatever, but insecurities of their own unrelated failure.

Explain why I can't train AI on my own art to improve my workflow

Especially copyright, Anon Babble loves piracy and jacks off to stolen artwork uploaded on boorus while cursing Fakku or paywall artists.

just make sure the model you train it on doesnt have much of a style bias itself.

spiritually and mentally, yes

AFAIK, it's a mutation and it's not recessive, so I guess it has a biological advantage. I don't know what type of advantage though.

Bull shit.

being economically valuable to humans is a reproductive advantage.

Cons

Lack of consistency on artstyle, can give uncanny valley effect (actually good when it comes to Horror games and even animations if its well done enough, for example see The Angel Engine series), can feel very low effort (not really much of a problem unless you are paying money for this game, and they are not reducing the price of the game for using cheap assets to make it), can accidentally land you in copyright issues without knowing it since AI generated assets are created using other assets as a base (Nikke got into this issue once when an artist did this making some NPCs and Shift Up didn't bother to check if this looked like someone elses IP), image can have several errors if used without checking the generated images first which means you will need now someone to edit these images.

Pros

Its theorically cheaper, can save some time in the appropiate situations and if you know how to use it, can avoid most licensing issues.
Its slop, but its very cheap, has plenty of variety, pretty accesible, and less chances of scams by shit artists.
If you are on a budget where all you can afford to spent is time, then i guess its alright, just do some fucking quality control, learn to use the generator you are using and edit the images so they don't look like shit.

The same reason why it's fucked that the automotive industry is doing everything they can to automate shit, and run people out, but still demand high prices for the super hard working share holders
If less labor meant cheaper prices, that's fine
When less labor somehow means same premium, if not more, that's bullshit. However, switch 2 has successfully killed my interest in modern gaming, it's been a while coming, switch 2 is just the straw that broke the camel's back

Munchkin cats have all kinds of health issues, I don't think there's much advantage besides looking cute.

Explain why it's good from the perspective of the consumer.

The joint and spine issues were debunked, they are not dogs, anon.

The cons are being a con every year and the pros just get incrementally better every year.

Learn to use AI is you are an artfag, it's a great tool for artists and artlets.

It by definition cannot create anything new, it can just remix

A.I currently has a problem in that they can't get as precise as needed. For instance, asking to draw an apple at a top down angle, tilted 9 degrees away from the viewer, axis rotated 2 degrees to the apple's left should be doable, but that's a single solid object. When you add things like limbs that need to be in multiple different perspectives, it gets alot more complicated. Whatever you ask will look good, but the control for what you want isn't there, and 9 times out of 10, your just settling for what you get leading to worse art direction in general.

It's basically cat with dwarfism but they are breed that way over successive generation to be their common hereditary traits.

people seem to ignore how much big media companies shilled against ai, especially when they turned around and started selling their own ai software or services.

It used to be bad but now that SE is investing in it, it's good because now we'll get more FF7 content regularly. And AI or not I WILL be buying and supporting.

because gatekeeping is good

It's Indian behaviour.

Ha ha. No.
Just look at this dumpster website.

file.png - 187x158, 10.4K

no tool is inherently bad
its just that if its AI art I will assume its shit, Im open to be proven wrong but I don't expect to be
its the same shit with "vibe coding" like if you are able to make this shit work then go on ahead but if I had to work with someone like that on a project I would tell them to fuck off

the human experience in a nutshell

AI assets look bad. I don't care about the ethics of it, but it just looks like shit, you can always tell when something is made with AI unless it's photorealistic shit. There's like this weird layer of diffusion noise and AI models tend to give the same level of detail to the whole image which gives an immediate tell that it's AI. Maybe 5 years from now it meets the bare minimum.

You are full of shit.

It's a red flag basically.

It's just texture. All textures are computer generated. It doesn't matter if you used paint or AI to make them, what matters is how they look.

AI isn't real it just predicts the next token.

it takes intelligence to do that bro

Oh yeah? Predict my next word (no peeking) nigger

AI is funnier than you

means no effort was put in and thus makes it a low quality product
exceptions are made for voice acting and localization though

Uni the Eternal

exceptions are made for voice acting and localization though

Why

I love when they tell me why scientists don't trust atoms

AI art in general is not that great when you have a brain developed enough to realize that you can't do more than a couple of things, mainly because prompt and text isn't art, you can't describe something that can be visually striking in words, you actually have to make it by hand.

What bother's me is that idiots think that it's the future (which it might be) but if it continues to be prompt related, you can only do so much.

For example, if i want to make a X-Men 97 style comic book with a consistent character, i can't do that with prompts but if i have enough knowledge when it comes to art, i can brainstorm ideas and use it in other circumstances.
Seeing how much ai art cocksucking is on Anon Babble and what crap things they consider to be good looking, i have doubts about their mental capacity. Glad that i'm a milenial

why can't you put effort into AI

they're cringe

Uni has got a set of fucked up legs like a midget
youtu.be/oR63-g0jJmY

so are artists and writers

no not really

Because it looks bad and bad looking things are bad

And the vast majority of time it looks bad, because correcting or making it look good takes effort. Which, when you are using ai, you are all about skimping out on that in the first place. There are already games on steam that have varying uses of ai, and in nearly all cases it's low effort trash.

It looks bad, it only creates derivatives, it plagerizes man made art and it'll only increase the influx of low effort slop we get, cheapening the medium as a whole.

ai genned assets are bad, except voice and translation

why

because they're cringe

I don't get the logic here.

look, moron, text prompt is only one angle of ai image generation, learn more before making an ass of yourself

voice acting for games already feels like ai anyways since they default to the anime voice

just don't expect me to pay for it that's all really.
you don't own the assets, you pirated the generative learning database from copyrighted content that none of the owners agreed to.

i'm taking your game for free then. it's the morally correct thing to do.

For example, if i want to make a X-Men 97 style comic book with a consistent character, i can't do that with prompts

Not only you can do it on any modern model, you can train the lora of your character on top of it if you want to ensure 100% consistency.
Like, at most, the "details" modern models mess with are an accessory being on another hand or mole being on another part of the face, which can be inpainted manually.

A prompt is much more than a description. It's the model and everything else involved in generating an image, which can be handled to get whatever you want to a decently high accuracy if you put in some effort.

For example, if i want to make a X-Men 97 style comic book with a consistent character, i can't do that with prompts but if i have enough knowledge when it comes to art, i can brainstorm ideas and use it in other circumstances.

This is just a skill issue.

You're a third worlder, it's not like you ever pay for things anyway.

The vast majority of ALL textures are bad, you can't even point to a texture that has been AI generated because it just blends in with all the rest of them.

Why haven't i seen consistent, 30 page comic books with the same character that matches soemthing from Marvel?

It might look good one one or two images but you can't do anything with it that has meaning and you need to go trough the autustic tube like ComfyUI shit to make something like that which is repulsive for any individual that isn't hormonally inbalanced to trans

Text-based H-game that got taken over by someone else adds AI generated images to illustrate what's happening better

Ungodly abominations as the proompter opted for realism towards inherently fantasy concepts

Now becomes frame of reference of what I think of when playing said H game, ruining the experience

Can easily happen with non-AI art but the AI existing certainly empowered him to submit everyone to that shit

Make a comic book page with a yellow blob that goes trough depression and at the end shoots itself that is consistet.

You can't do that just with Comfy UI which is the standard for all furryfags

Why haven't i seen consistent, 30 page comic books with the same character that matches soemthing from Marvel?

The entire pixiv is choke full of ai generated doujins, so maybe you're looking at the wrong place
Porn is unironically the driving force of progress, whereas people like you can only bitch and moan without doing anything.

you seething about the cost of your diabetes meds, mutt?

Why haven't i seen consistent, 30 page comic books with the same character that matches soemthing from Marvel?

No one has made them. This kind of logic is low IQ, you can ask "why isn't there x" or literally anything and the answer is that nobody has made it for whatever reason.
You seem to care about it and you could make them yourself, why haven't you?

Just fucking tired of seeing it everywhere. It's like 3 artists just took over the entire market and now everywhere you look it looks all the same.

Also just hating that it's now at the point where I questioning what is even real anymore.

Ok, make some yourself and prove your point if you are right or wrong

make something only I give a fuck about

Why would I do that?

I've used a few AI sprites in my game and no one noticed.

Smashed & slammed.

People who say "mogged" are fags

The kind of person using AI assets isn't interested in making a good game. They're interested in shitting out shovelware that looks superficially interesting using easy to acquire assets while not giving a fuck about how it feels to actually play it.
AI fags are the unity store asset flippers of 2025 and only retards would try to deny it saying it helps them "work faster".

The kind of person using AI assets isn't interested in making a good game.

you're dumb beyond measure
it's literally impossible for an indie to make a AAA-esque game without AI

This feels kinda like the Philmarillion. Clearly, all the users in this page are doomed. Me included.

Nobody was ever asking for an indie to make an AAA-esque game. Fuck, I'm not even asking AAA studios to make AAA games the way they've been going the past ten years. Overbudget and behind schedule, flop once and then the studio gets cannibalized. What about that process is supposed to be appealing other than "oh it's the highest level of production"? It's suicidal. I don't buy this shit, people are retarded for buying them, and publishers are the MOST retarded for thinking that games make Hollywood sales regularly enough to justify Hollywood investment.

Nobody was ever asking for a high quality indie game

Not going to read the rest of your post.

Why can't these dumb as fuck artists artist afford a fucking GPU? All these whining and moaning for a tool that actually helps them. Fucking retards I swear.

AAA has never meant high quality and you fucking know it retard.

Just like scribbleschizo LunaticSoda, more than 10 years wasted """drawing""" the same shit over and over again.

AAA has never meant high quality

holy shit

what a distinguished gentleman!

it takes career opportunities away from bipoc and transwomen

based

You'd call CoD "high quality"? The new Doom game, slow as fuck and full of execution moves, higher quality than what a single autistic Finn with a twitter account can output with Ultrakill?
Post processing, 200k polygons, and a cash shop has not and will never be the definition of high quality.

he's already 5

bros.....

It's whatever you want it to be.

i am just not going to pay money for it, that's all

you don't need to get so worked up for it, just the the ai to buy it from you or whatever, it's not my problem

what game isnt this decade

Can it be beautiful? Guess not. Try again next year.

lol.jpg - 501x227, 26.11K

has to zoom in to find anything to bitch about

Getting a bit desperate

I don't see it bad in the game industry. They are going to do slop anyway. And the workers there deserves something better than being overexploted and have 0 recognition for it.

But for people who want to make something with soul, no. All handicraft should be made by humans to highlight over the industrial slop.

tsmt beauty can only be created by black qveens

It's incredibly obvious from the onset this is generated and while it may be superficially appealing on the level of ideation and composition the fact nobody put any effort into this makes me immediately disinterested in it as a product. Least you could do is pick up a tablet and fix those fucking columns. Would take you an hour even if you're bad at drawing.

Live forever cris

Irish courting ritual

I thought it was a real pic and put it in my real pic folder, I liked the hair

It's incredibly obvious

And yet your ilk fails to discern paintings and ai generated works all the time

Good artists > AI > Bad artists

Normal artists take critique better than you who took few seconds to prompt your masterpiece. lol

It's not as much of a gotcha as you think it is. Some real pictures look weird. It's not about whether it's discernible, it's about the fact of knowing no effort or intent were behind the picture.

It's not that bad compared to 2 years ago.

It gets better and better, artfag.

seeIt's good artists >= AI > bad artists.
Good artists have come out several times saying it's as good or better than they are in some ways.
AI can't tell a great story yet but with the latest chatgpt, it can tell a story so that will eventually come I guess.

If the game isnt particularly stylized in a certain way I don't really care of road4.texture was made by a robot or a pajeet somewhere

The kind of person using AI assets isn't interested in making a good game

A fucking expedition 33 devs used AI assets. What kind of ridiculous cope is this?
Yes, ai will be used by people shitting out low effort trash, just like they did by using assets from engine marketplaces. Does this make assets themselves bad somehow?

Troons who studied art and twitter drawfags are going to starve (and that is a good thing)

wrong
t. has generated a ton

that's not a good game so...

wow a landwhale

ENSHITTIFICATION WILL CONTINUE UNTIL ALL ORDER IS ERADICATED
DO NOT RESIST SAAR

who da fuck is cris

Uni on the front page!

It's not about whether it's discernible, it's about the fact of knowing no effort or intent were behind the picture.

In other words it's about your precious fe-fees. Sorry to say, nobody really gives a shit about them.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

It's not. It's just retarded "artists" screeching into the void.

Half this site is filled with jeets unironcially
Go into any coomer thread and they all write like indians on facebook
Also explains the pro ai shit

Everyone loves art but hates to deal with artists
AI art solves this issue

If you're not going to put effort into making the game, why should I put effort into playing it?

Ai gooners when you ask them to gen a specific untaggable sized bikini with 95% reliability

Anon Babble has to stop giving anon names
eric, cris.....
what the fuck is wrong with you

fuck off carl

Fuck off, Snake.

we've hit peak

sir..

the fact nobody put any effort into this makes me immediately disinterested in it as a product.

There can be intent in an AI generated picture so your argument doesn't make sense on its face. Putting aside that no one cares what you think about art, that's literally all in your mind and isn't objective.

it looks good but I hate it so it's bad

This is irrational, totally retarded.

Some real pictures look weird.

How do you not realize this invalidates your entire stance against AI? Just say you don't like art that you don't arbitrarily like lol.

wow this looks like shit

sounds like personal preference

it's ugly and gay

nice tits
tits too small

lez m8 wots goin on?

Ai's a trap for visual creatives it gives high levels of quality for little effort but the quality improvement from higher effor decreases severely exponential while in actual art it's the opposite

Do her with a human nose

Cris isn't just a Anon Babble schizo. I believe Anon Babble is littered with shitty threads made by him.

Eric is some Nintendo thread boogeyman right? And Cris is some indie shitter that other indie shitters hate. At least one of them exists but calling random people those names online is highly autistic behavior.

This is NOT representative of other Kofola drinkers and enjoyers.

nta but I quickly tried this and got this insanely cursed image
Even AI knows better

Autists aren't humans.

Wait, CAN ChatGPT do that?

AI can't generate anime girl versions of prehistorical humanoid species like homo erectus or gautengensis.

There's not anime dataset of them on the internet, so AI can't do shit.

It sucks

the point of tools and technology is to do things easier or to do things you never would have been able to do otherwise. its played a large role with humanity.
sorry youre getting old or wasted time in college.

It looks like shit, sounds like shit, and is used by talentless money mills. But, most offensive of all. It's used to spam the ever loving shit out of countless websites, which makes me despise it as a default position. Much like this retarded thread that was probably posted by some script, and will be posted a dozen more times until it's IP range banned.

Because it's just another corner to cut. Companies will produce lower quality assets using AI by spending less money, but will not increase the quality of the product in other areas or pass the savings on to the consumer by lowering the price of the product.

Ai fArt sucks ass I'm only here for the Uni pics

It's not bad, it's not good either. But real flesh and blood artists haven't made anything interesting in the last 15 years so I don't have any issue with AI taking over.
