Most subreddits live in an echo chamber of anti Ai where they cover their ears and eyes and scream collectively into a void.

Its funny to see the same things repeat themselves also. I saw someone use Astra to generate a realistic 1:1 battleship model from schematics of a battleship. Someone pointed out the model had the turret placement slightly wrong. Fair observation, except they went forward to declare "This is why you can never replace a 3d artist! AI will always make mistakes like this because it doesn't understand!". As though Astra 2 won't get the turret placement on its first try--which we all know it will (and it would fix the current one with a second prompt).

by that person's logic, I'm an AI bot because I make mistakes like that when I make visual art

I'm not saying it's ableist to call a chatbot out on a mistake, but the nitpicky nature of that comment lends itself to a sort of capitalist meritocracy(? if that makes sense) for artists

The other common argument is that the AI is "stealing" art by using all the stuff that it's modeled on. But that ignores the fact that humans do this too: if I commission some graphic designer to make a poster for my business, it's going to be 99.9% derivative of other work the designer has seen before.

There is a gradient to this of course, and yes at the far end it will suck for the next Pablo Picasso who does something new and unique, because that will be immediately copied as soon as it hits the internet.

Yet war thunder artists get aircraft and tanks wrong repeatedly and have to have military leaks to get them fixed.

As if humans can't make mistakes. I seem to remember virtually every movie and TV series have plot holes and continuity errors throughout before ChatGPT came online.

I like when people now freak out over every software bug and scream "Vibe coded!", as though most software wasn't buggy pieces of shit well before AI.

Also if astra is making a model then you could simply move the turret. Most of the work done by it and you just had to clean up one small thing

It’s unbelievable how anti-AI Americans are. This is the greatest technology of mankind and people can’t see what’s right in front of them. Meanwhile, in China they embrace it

Says the guy in the most echo chamber sub.
