As an amateur this is really exciting - but not sure about folks that are real pros at this stuff.

#63Can you imagine going to a football match and second-guessing which are the players who look human, but skin-deep are actually androids made at a factory? This is what it feels like with music and literature right now with so much AI. There are some pockets where you still can say "that's human-made", like 3D-rendered feature films with some particular artistic direction. That, it seems, AI companies also want it to…
The pearl clutching over the pedigree of art is getting tiring. No one has really ever cared. Most mainstream music is written by corporate teams. Elvis didn't write his own music. Frank Sinatra didn't write his own music. Nearly all pop artists don't. But suddenly, people are now clamoring for art, but they never gave a shit to begin with. Most people can't tell AI written music from anything else if a human perform…
If not, doesn't your argument entirely miss the point?

> like 3D-rendered feature films with some particular artistic direction. This is a really interesting example. Why do you foresee artistic direction going away as a result of AI? More importantly: why didn't we lose that with the transitions through the years of special effects - i.e., from practical to 3D-rendered?

#67It's because LLMs will soon start building real-world objects via CAD. This is the first step. Look at things like the Adam plugin for Onshape. Works great with Opus. It built a toy car for me with one prompt.

#68Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sadly so and it is the people who don't even fund open source projects.
Yep. Anthropic's motives are obviously self-interested (Cluade Blender integration), but I'm not donating to Blender, are you? That's the problem, we all want Blender to be able to pick and choose donations, but when all OSS is cash-strapped, it is easier said than done. I'd prefer Blender get some additional funding out of this AI bubble at least.

#70There will be community backlash. And it will not be uncalled for. Sad news.
