Probably some amount of cherrypicking going on but BOY is the future looking to be fun with all this AI magic!

Damn every 3 days there's another huge breakthrough with 3d. Can't wait for it to become better and better.

I hope this will lead to photorealistic games.

That would be awesome.

I was just thinking yesterday that AAA game graphics aren't really materially better than they were a decade ago. OK, ray tracing is starting to become a thing, but it's in it's infancy, and only remotely practical with expensive, power-hungry GPUs.

I have fond memories of that word being used to describe motorstorm on PS3

The speed of job elimination with AI is out of this world.

It really makes me question what the utility is of learning anything for the purpose of making money at this point.

Learn to develop AI software.

AI will be able to do that too though

When that happens, I guess the only job available will be a resistance fighter in the war against the machines.
tehsauce
the machines will pay you much more to fight for them
vintermann
Against the rich people controlling the machines. But yes.

It helps to remember that even though we have very powerful chess engines, there's still a market for human chess competitions.

Not a good comparison, imo. Being a chess player isn’t a 9-to-5 value-creating profession that e.g. being a 3D animator is. Ai will be to white collar jobs what automation was for blue collar jobs.

Some jobs, yes. The 3d generation from this will surely have glitches and inconsistencies, so we'll need people to clean that up. Plus, we already have models upon models (like TurboSquid) readily available and software that morphs two models together.

AI generated animation of 3d models would be a massive boon, as that is what generally slows down production.
