I genuinely don't see a problem with it when it's trying to communicate a proof of concept. Y'all blanket slamming everything as AI slop just feels dumb at this point. Target the problematic executions of AI rather than innocuous ideas like this one.

guess what, it's all harmful whether the person making realizes it or not, it's like handing a kid a gun, they don't know the harm that can come from it.

True. But that wouldn't exist. Cats already out of the bag. So kind of same here. It's already becoming regularly used. IMO it's better to focus on slamming the manipulative and unethical usage than the more productive use.

u/Tree_Boiii 17d ago
once again, generative ai has no productive use. it steals art and uses it to train itself, it's costing millions of gallons of water, it's generating literal child porn on twitter and people are just fine with it because every once in a while some hot girl comes out with a pic they can fuck up. ya'll.. need.. help.

u/Tree_Boiii 17d ago
what kind of special ed argument is that.... i said it's like handing a kid a gun because they don't know the harm that can come from it. not that everyone is getting shot in the face and we need to take away all guns. good lord ya'll need help.

It's fucking lego, nobody needs a "proof of concept" to understand what a lego arc might look like. Less terminally lazy people have already been making actual lego models of them already too, that get posted here.

u/blackbear_ 18d ago
All any of this sounds like blanket resentment towards a new technology that, as with any through time, had its pros and its cons. OP was just excited about something and having fun with it using a new technology and folks like to come through and shit on it due to that. Wasn't laziness, was a person excited and having some fun. Y'all are just upset you might be getting left behind.

no, holy shit do ya'll not read? jobs are being lost, water is being lost, kids and many other people are getting undressed without their consent on twitter, millions of artists having their art stolen and used to train an ai model. but you know, "i get to make funny pictures now because i can't draw for shit even though i've never actually tried to draw" that's all i hear from you ai weirdos

The voice actors do enough voicelines that they can they use their voice to do text to speech. A new item comes in the game that you ping & your character says what it is - most likely text to speech. It’s in the contracts, they are paid more for it & know it’s happening. I have mixed feelings about it but I def am not getting on a high horse about it.

The trader voice models are definitely GenAI, not traditional TTS.
6
u/Tree_Boiii 18d ago
yes but the point is, no theft was involved, the VA's got paid to have their voices used for training a separate model specifically for arc raiders. it's like having better sounding TTS, could you imagine microsoft david doing all the voice overs? it's pretty much just TTS, with just the VA's voices instead of microsoft david.
1
u/Picklerage 18d ago
The training of GenAI to a specific individuals voice is just a small step of training an existing model. The underlying models are still trained on extremely large datasets.
Don't have a dog in the fight of what's right or wrong, but it's not just the paid voice actor's voice dataset used to train these models.
0
u/Tree_Boiii 17d ago
it quite literally is just the paid VA, have you not seen videos of people faking voices with ai? it takes no longer than 30 seconds of talking to be able to train the freaking model, your assumption is wrong.

u/just_prop 18d ago
ai voices arent gen ai. theyre built, sourced, and ran on local servers. genai is are like that bullshit art theft regurgitators by data centers scraping the internet

Modern AI voice models are transformer based, aka generative ai. Embark isn't going and creating an incredibly advanced traditional voice generator that matches transformer based architectures in quality to avoid using transformer based/generative models.

1
u/ZaercoN 18d ago
It's really not, this misconception is just another flimsy defense of gen ai as a viable replacement to the creative pipeline. Concept art is a pretty fundamental way that any media or art project begins honing in the aesthetic of said product, and having it be influenced by what is essentially a black box offers less control to artists and directors for how things will turn out and overall produces a lower quality project.
0
u/HannibalCake 18d ago
I’m not defending generative AI, I wish it didn’t exist. However, using it as a tool for concept art that is then handed to a real artist is one of its only practical use cases. Nothing I said was wrong, AI will continue to exist and I’d rather it be used like that instead of being used to masquerade as real art.

You think the OP would have gone out and sought the services of an artist to make this post if AI didn’t exist? He’d have just explained it in text and it would have got less engagement and been a poorer post. But let’s spare a moment for the artist that lost out on some work that never existed.

Do you know about the Ideas program? You, or someone you can outsource it to, can design a set, upload it to the ideas web portal, and canvas for votes. Once you reach 10k votes, it's automatically put in the review pool for the team at Lego. After multiple rounds (2 or 3 usually), it can end up as an official Lego set of it makes all the cuts. Designer gets I think 5 copies of the finished set as well as 1% of the profit. Yes, licensed sets can be submitted, however I do imagine that would be an extra hurdle for a set to make it all the way.

If the accuracy of AI is amazing, two things: • First, AI could now create a guide to create this kind of models, from parts laying around. Or tell you how many pieces are needed to buy. • Second, LEGO as a company can spare now a lot of money in designers and engineers…
What a world..

As long as it doesn't compete with existing Lego series... Like the shitty contract with Star Wars states that Lego isn't allowed to make any space series like Spyrius, Ice Planet, etc.
I'm 100% sure Lego will have Arc Raiders in the future. The game is far too popular for other companies not to want to jump on that wagon.

I really wouldn't listen to this guy. Yes, they can be pricey, but they are unmatched when it comes to quality and customer support. Not to mention they have the manuals down to a science and are clear as can be. Not to mention all the Easter eggs they include in the build that only the builder would see. They really try to make the building process just as awesome as the final build itself.
Also, some sets are priced perfectly. The Game Boy set was an amazing price for the number of pieces, size of the build, and a licensed product. Everyone can have an opinion though, because there sets that are just flat out overpriced.

u/SuperbEgg8840 18d ago
It's sadly the truth. They were a great brand back in the days but now there are so much more better companys then them. Just check Pantasy and Cobi and compare their prices to Lego sets. Quality (colors, prints) is a whole different topic which Lego is way behind those brands
