Lazy Planet Builders Patronized By AI

The Breakdown:

This rag of an article is about Hiber, who’s just announced an ‘upgrade’ (read: they’re putting lipstick on a pig) for their 3D world creation tools with the integration of generative AI. Apparently, this is meant to make it easier for artists who can’t bother to do their own work to build worlds. This magic AI, supposedly, can gaze into the formless void of a project and say ‘let there be lazy artistry’.

The implications:

I guess this is good news for the indolent game creators and dullard designers, who can now lean heavier on their precious ‘AI crutch’ instead of, I don’t know, doing their own work? The possible implications of this are undoubtedly aimed at changing their playground: now needy creators can generate vast worlds without losing precious nap time. But let’s not kid ourselves. This so-just-slap-it-together AI will never replace the soul and allure of a genuine creation by a human artist who gives a damn.

My ‘Hot’ Take:

In conclusion, the era of mundane, machine-made art is upon us. Get ready to slog through uninspired, algorithmically generated drek. Artistry? Creativity? Who needs them when you’ve got a ‘magic’ AI button to effortlessly spew out derivative worlds? After all, working on something, pouring your soul and imagination into a creation is so passé, right, Hiber? So, congratulations on the launch of your glorified set of 3D clip-art. Welcome to the brave new world of soulless, half-assed design. Bravo, you lazy dreamers, bravo.
