even if LLMs didn't take jobs and steal from people's work I still wouldn't be comfortable in companies using them unless they found a way for them not to eat massive amounts of resources at the expense of mainly marginalised people and just the planet as a whole, the results are not worth it.

Similar to how voice AI use has been suggested; for 'scratch'
or reference.

I know many actors, myself among them, who got jobs from the scratch work.

Every example of AI being used I've seen is cutting away a job that someone coming up would take or get on their journey.

Maybe that's the point.
The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.

This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

Recently was advised to use AI for pitching TV series because "your competitors will all be using it so your pitch will be lacklustre and fall behind if you don't". As polite as I'd like to be about it, I need to say it - I think "everyone else is doing it" is a bitch coward excuse.

AI is getting shoved down people in creative industries' throats by higher-ups that have never created anything in their lives. They love AI because they don't understand (or like) the creative process. Truly depressing that those people are in the position to make decisions for entire industries.

it is so poisonous to react to "this is a hard part of the process" with "how do i skip this part of the process." just do something else if making art doesn't interest you damn

"More or less okay with the way we're using it" is just manufactured consent from the guy who has the power to fire all these people in the worst games industry job market that has ever existed

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

every so often i reappear on here to complain about how [redacted industry standard animation software] took away perpetual licenses and locks you into a subscription for customer support even as an individual user with a standalone license and iirc included gen AI in their latest version :I
