I love AI. I use it all the time to create reference photos for my designs.
I would encourage everyone to embrace AI and learn how to use it as it evolves because it isn’t going anywhere. When it comes to 3d modelling, eventually AI will be able to create amazing things but it’s still going to need a human being to use it. I don’t see it any different than using Blender or Fusion. Just another tool for letting the creativity flow.
I read a line somewhere that went something like “AI isn’t going to replace your job, someone using AI will”.
It feels like I went back in time 25 years. The fear over AI, especially in the entertainment industry reminds me of the RIAA vs file sharing. No matter how upset Lars Ulrich got, he couldn’t stop it. You can’t fight the future.
