Amazon’s First ‘Fallout’ Show Art Is AI Generated

My guess is that AI’s first big victim for graphic design will be stock art. Previously, crap like that background asset would just be stock purchased from Getty or Adobe stock. Now it can be generated.

I’m already starting to use it instead of paying for bullshit licenses.

I’ve been using AI for school and work, as God intended: give it the raw, have it do the grunt organization work, and then proofread to correct anything.

It’s a tool, one of many in my toolbox. People who are just flat against any and all AI or LLMs are behind the curve.

For an example of our limitations as humans, there’s only 50ish unique plot lines in the English language.

How would the unique plotlines be determined by the language they’re told in? Why would the amount of plotlines be based on human cognitive capabilities? None of this makes sense.

Either way, “unique plotline” doesn’t mean anything, from the perspective of literary or narrative studies. There’s no universal, objective way to dissect narratives, and they cannot be boiled down to a distinct number of basic models. There have been attempts to get to the most fundamental narrative model (Greimas, Campbell), but they’re far from widely accepted.

People who are just flat against any and all AI or LLMs are behind the curve.

Art is, by itself, not something that has “the curve”. If you’re doing something with very practical goals and need hyperproduction, sure, but art is not necessarily made or consumed with such a logic.
