We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

It blows my mind that you can create a startup based on a fucking absurd series of lies and impossible promises, make billions of dollars while companies cut staffing believing the lie, then walk away from the smoldering crater without being guillotined straight to hell

It's getting hard to track the 700 layers of irony associated with the world slop now.
Art slop, quality slop, friend slop, AI slop, sometimes I really can't tell if people are being ironic or serious, the word is getting used too much in too many contradicting contexts

Been trying to work through an art block coming from some life stuff. Been feeling heavy anxiety when I sit down to work but managed to push through a bit today. Capped it off with a lil quick sketch

If anything the whole AI for concept are debacle of the last few days has made me want to do 1 thing...
Buy artbooks, translucent paper and a scanner and just study them.
People try to push GenAI to me, I hate it. And I'm pursuing a master in engineering, I hear about it way more than I'd like

I adore the work and advocacy of Larian, and wish it extended to respecting and refining the craft used in *all* of their processes, rather than selectively eroding them with AI--especially because it's those refined processes that have produced the games so many loved over their last three titles.

I hope people - especially leadership - will one day understand that people arent just against genAI because it looks bad, theyre against genAI **because it's fundamentally unethical**. Any usage of these commercial genAI services support theft and cause environmental harm.
Larian Studios, developer of Baldur's Gate 3 and the just-announced Divinity, is apparently using generative AI behind the scenes.
The backlash has been swift and loud, and now Larian founder and game director Swen Vincke has responded to clarify his remarks. https://bit.ly/4qcNbSz

The process is the fun part. Throwing shit at the wall with your colleagues is where the growth happens. The journey of distilling many ideas and iterations into something tightly focused and beautiful is what I enjoy. The frustrations are part of the growth.
AI strips you of that.

this is really NOT the important part but I keep thinking that if you are going as far as generating AI graphics for your internal studio powerpoint presentations you have lost the plot and are spending time making it look slick and not on making it informative and moving on to some other task

Being in Austria for a weekend full immersion GameJam with 5 other firends really rejuvenated me and my will to create. Sometimes the wider gaming discourse can really drain me, but being around other students/devs/artists and just create is so uplifting.
