My guy you can literally use MSpaint and circle tool and eraser to clear some lines to make a guy. I conceptualized and drew this in like 5 minutes. Some angel platformer fighter character. I imagine the bandana flowing and trailing behind the character as they jump. Could probably use the halo as a weapon or something. The hardest part was the bandana which was the only part I did free hand. This is obviously a first draft concept art and needs to be seriously polished and prepped for animation, but in the second picture I shrunk it down to 64x64 and a lot of the flaws disappear. You just need to learn some technical stuff about composition and color theory to make something that's even half decent and it will be enough. Or hell, literally steal this character idea because I'm not doing anything with it. Here's you're written permission. Make a cool game and put MSpaint art in it! (but actually use a better program because MSPaint kinda sucks.)  

I'm just showing you there's ways around limitations.

In a world that artists don't need to make money to live this works but I feel we will never get there.

Yeah and I am also real scared about this “green screen” technology in movies, as if they fake stuff you know.

that sounds like an ethics problem, the solution to most of those is to get rid of ethics

The personal touch was underpaid workers doing cookie cutter work that was hardly better than AI does but more expensive. I don’t see actual talented artists complaining all that much about AI it’s always the assembly line video game artists or even worst some furry fucker who didn’t even have their own style to begin with with. Ie the people who AI was created to replace because they bring nothing to the table.

Hard to convince a studio to embrace it if this article is the kneejerk response to some PNGs. Which leads the loudest complainers to act vindicated, because what could it possibly be good for, except the few PNGs they notice?

That's because they keep trying to push AI into the foreground, not the background where it belongs

Nah, the problem is that AI is only being used to generate static content, "finished" assets. Where are the npcs with organic dialogue and more realistic reactions to player input? That's the AI that I've seen being promised and not being delivered anywhere.

Fake stuff? Next you'll tell me that the dragons in that new How to Train Your Dragon movie aren't really dragons.

If you can't tell it's AI, then it's a problem entirely made up in your own head.
