Though we still have no idea what's going to happen with Duke Nukem Forever, Duke's creator George Broussard has recently come out and started answering some questions from the fans. So of course, what was one of the first questions? 360 or PS3.
It took about five seconds for artists (and fans) to notice.
What would otherwise have been a fairly minor announcement, the news that some old Duke Nukem games were coming to an Evercade handheld, has blown up after the rapid discovery that the bundle’s promotion included a bunch of terrible machine-generated imagery.
Literally who cares. It's a picture of Duke Nukem shooting a gun on a black background to announce a tiny port to a practically unheard of handheld. Why would anybody care that it's AI generated?
AI generated art often borrows or outright steals from copyrighted images. The the work of freelance artist is also used by AI without the consent of the artist, who are furthermore not given credit.
This is a bit confusing, so if an artist painting is inspired by other artists, should their art be removed? All in all, almost all art is inspired/borrowed by previous artists in one way or another, if you use some form of impressionism, should Monet descendants be able to take down your art?. In this case, the character property is from the publisher, and the rest of the art is as generic as it can be, how is this a copyright issue, is dark scenery with red smoke some kind of copyright infringement?
@Rise: If you use a music analogy, it's fine to create something in a particular style inspired by something else as long as it's not an exact copy. You most certainly cannot use someone else's recording, add your own recordings on top of it and then call it your own though.
The AI is trained on copyrighted images but does not steal them. This has already been ruled in court.
Is it taking away artists jobs? Already has, clearly. There's other artist work out there for now.
Is it taking my job? Yes
It is what it is. It ain't going anywhere and there's a 100% chance that it's gonna be used more and more for game art (and I'm sure literally every career you can think of in the next couple years).
If it gives the Duke Nukem devs (or any other dev for that matter) that much more money to spend on the game instead of ads then I'm all for it.
ps: I've been obsessed with AI for 5 years now and I truly believe this is the beginning of AI replacing the vast majority of jobs and think it's the best thing that could possibly happen to humanity. It's gonna happen quicker than you think. Nobody WANTS to work - even an artist would rather be making their own art to sell rather than being commissioned to do a duke nukem promo shot. We'll figure it out
@amplitude
no one wants to work, and yet that is all that will happen thanks to AI. AI will take all of the interesting creative jobs away from people that are actually good at them, and those people will have to find tedious jobs to keep the machine running and feed their families. yayyyy......
Amplitude: "I for one welcome our AI overlords."
If you think millions of people losing their jobs is going to be the "best thing that could possibly happen to humanity," you need your head checked. Think about it for one second.
Why do they need to apologize? You can’t use AI generated imagery in advertising now?
I'm sure there's an actual human artist that could have used the work.
Essentially, if you're not going to demonstrate to me that your game has soul, then I won't play it.
But this isn’t the game, it’s like an advertising/promo. And I’m not sure about copyright because isn’t this an original work? Games sometimes use pieces of other people’s photos for textures, for example bricks or sand.
I’d assume this would fall under something similar for use. I mean, is the image it produced original or did the AI program literally just find someone’s Duke Nukem fan art and post it?
Two collections featuring six great games will be available in November 2023. Including Duke Nukem 3D and Introducing: DUKE NUKEM 1+2 REMASTERED - developed by Blaze Entertainment!
Duke Nukem Forever originally began its life as a sidescroller instead of a shooter back in 1996, and that canceled version has just been leaked.
Very cool, but i don't know how real this is... I'll check it out later to find out.
Chances are it *might* come to the PS5 or Xbox 1420.
Yup it is great
and 360 is poop.
What does he mean "unified achievement system"? Uh... trophies? Every meaningful PS3 game except for literally about 5 of them has trophies, and every PS3 game coming out from now until forever will have them. Everybody can earn them, compare them, etc. etc., I'm not sure how it doesn't qualify as "unified" or on par with the achievements system.
I believe what he means by "unified" is that all the achievements amount to one full number. So then people are more likely to try for those little silly achievements for fun to get more of a overall reward. No one cares about how many bronze trophies you have because it's like having a handful of pennies you collected. Then again if you like to really only worry about the main achievements then the trophy system is for you. I personally like both depending on the game though.
For the flame bait comments please be don't be such hypocrites. I see so many false PS3 news used as flame bait all the time. One article that got approved a lot that was completely fake about the ps3 console sales pissed me off the most. It was some normal person that created a free website and posted some fake bulls%^t and it got approved. This is article is all fact and it deserves to be approved. The guy prefers Xbox achievements more so what? Does that mean everyone has to feel the same way now? I swear ps3 fanboys cry the most of the group. I just want to ram that bottle down your throat sometimes.
