"over expensive 3D artist" ? Do you know how much work goes into 3D or digital work in general ?? There is no such thing as over expensive digital artist. They are right now struggling to survive. Not to mention that the work you will be doing by AI will most of the time be STOLEN work from preexisting artist.
You really have no idea how the industry work. THOUSANDS of digital artists will lose there revenues because of that. FUrthermore don't think that it will stop to 3D or animation, its the ENTIRE CREATIVE processes that will be impacted.
Its not about the technology. The technology can be good if used ethically and without taking the job of thousands of artists. For example, I might use AI to help my work on the One Piece spin off project, but the AI will be nourrished from MY work, not the work of others.
Sure, why learn how to create when you can just use stolen work from previous artist to go faster? Why bother understanding how the craft work when you can have a bad product in result. You remind me of this guy Shadowdiversity that is thinking that because he learned for hours how to use an IA then he is better at understanding art and creating art than regular artists when its in fact the total opposite.
AI is a tool, it shouldn't be the answer to problems of cost and time.
That the most of out touch thing I think I saw you post here. Art is WORK. And work should not be free, never. Unless we live in a utopia.
