AI allows to cut junior and entry level artists. Companies only need to retain top 1% talent orchestrating hordes of AI.
While it is still a craft, commercial art is not about being genuine; it is to deliver product and meeting deadline while passing QA. AI's output rate outpaces human labor, and the top 1% can certainly identify what aspect makes AI output slop. Which means they can cherry pick "OK" part of AI, review, iterate, tweak to deliver product while keeping quality. The process previously involved comunication between senior and junior artits. Now companies don't need the rest of the 99% anymore as workforce.
What will happen in the long run? Who knows. Companies are known for only keen on immediate profit.
This tendency is widespread and not limited to art field, nor related to the argument of intrinsic value of art. I can argue this is more of labor (and capitalism) issue, on top of people whose art stolen not getting enough compensation for their work. While I'm not against AI technology itself, its effect on peoples livelihood and climate impact makes current AI landscape hard to defend.
Japan govt has already asked their motor US subsidiaries to export their goods back to Japan. Its much more easier for them to make Jp specific modification compared to US-origin manufacturers.
If you need translation for just getting facts and information for say math equation and its annotation translated, there's little margin in variety, what you need is database - that's mostly fine.
Pieces need translation are usually not like that. They have cultural context, pun, wordplay in rhymes, structural parallel, underlying tone, a lot of things only work in the language originally written. Translation is always a (nearly impossible) challenge for the translator to reconstruct all of them in target language.
I did game translation for a while. Translation is a field where AI hit first and honestly I've seen people lowering standards. The criteria of "good enough", "passable" is not the same compared to pre-AI days, and will keep changing. I'm almost sure this trend is happening in every industry the same way, and "just translation" is a slippery slope.
I heard once π²=10 is fairly accurate approx and thus g=π²=10 in astrophysics where people thinks in order of magnitude, not value.
But my engineering ass is telling assumptions with larger than 50% difference from actual value may cause issues on order of magnitude if the value is used multiple times and isnt it better be like 5=1/2×10?
Ok. I'm getting really hypothetical here, but leaving this at party can spread the juice quickly and even wider spread if it gets into water system. Whole life on earth will turn juice soon...
Also I want to mention Graphite.rs for graphic design. It aims for vector/raster image with procedural customization capability and in early development. Last I checked they don't do much outreach and having feedback helps too.
Truth social is mastodon fork so following the suit is possible. On my masto feed someone posted its link as reference and I was surprised thay my masto client handled it as just like one of the instance
Since in bespoke world vampires are living (in active sense) relic of old humanity. Bunch of vampire hunters are actually archaeologists in the field wanting to prove their hypotheses and once they find ancient ones they sample tissue, record mannerism and study as though they're coelacanth
They're viral in the town bcs its real person the local knew in the first place. Your neighbors turning into cards and have whatever TCG spell is just hilarious for them
Not the OP but I'll put my PoV.
