So much has been said about how this industry exploits young and vulnerable models.

Depends whether you think models should be able to generate cp. It's almost impossible to even give an affirmative answer to that question without making yourself a target. And as much as I err on the side of creator freedom, I find myself shying away from saying yes without qualifications. And if you don't allow cp, then by definition you require some censoring. At that point it's just a matter of where you censor,…

One of my teachers once said “An art piece is never done”. So, I wonder what could that mean for the model to keep making improvements to the piece.

IIRC that's how it works! it starts from a first image, and improves it until 'satisfied' that the result fits the prompt

Regardless of how much cherry-picking there was, some of these pictures are just beautiful.

Religious people don't only believe that porn harms the models, but also the user. I happen to agree, despite being a porn user - Porn is a form of simulated and not-real stimulation. Porn is harmful to the user the same way that any form of delusion is: It associated positive pleasure with stimulation that does not fulfil any basic or even higher-level needs, and is unsustainable. Porn is somewhere on the same scale…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have degrees and several years of experience in both fields, and I can tell you that both are creative professions where output is unbounded and the measure of success is subjective; these are the fields that will be safe for a while. IMO it's fields such as aircraft pilots who should be most worried.

The jobs of commercial pilots are very safe. Pilots are not there to fly the aircraft, the autopilot already does that. They are there to command the aircraft, in a pair in case one is incapacitated, making the best decisions for the people on board, and to troubleshoot issues when the worst happens. No AI or remote pilot is going to help when say... the aircraft loses all power. Or the airport has been taken over in…

>You can bet on major flights having two commercial pilots right up until the day we all get turned into paperclips.

Yes, this is the sane approach, since a jet represents an enormous amount of energy that can be directed anywhere in the world (just about). But that said, there seems to be enormous pressure to allow driverless vehicles, which also direct large amounts of energy directed anywhere in your city. IOW it seems like a matter of time before we say, collectively, screw it, let the computers fly the plane and if loss of power is a catastrophe, so be it.

I can see how this has the potential to disrupt the games industry. If you work on a AAA title, there is a small army of artists making 19 different types of leather armor. Or 87 images of car hubcaps. Using something like this could really help automate or at least kickstart the more mundane parts of content creation. (At least when you are using high resolution, true color imagery.)

This thing can't do 3D models. There are some 3D image generation techniques, but they aren't based on polygonal modelings, so 3D artists are safe for now

You could train a model on texture image data though, no?

Or what about even generating images you could then photogrammetry into models?
