It's kind of amazing that they're able to take drawing of a scene someone imagined and then create (bad) 3d models. Imagine if in the future an artist could sketch a couple of images from a scene and then get an accurate 3D model?<p>Or if a 2D artist could sketch a couple of poses and automatically get a well structured 3D model and textures?<p>I think there's been a lot of concern in the industry about the impact AI and similar tools will have on artists, but it seems like it's possible to imagine a future where machine learning based systems work more directly with an artist rather than rendering based on language etc.,<p>I don't know how I feel about all the moral arguments about AI training etc.,. I think to me more concerning is how it could impact people more so than how it was trained. Even if a perfectly "ethically" trained model learned to produce perfect art and artists became a niche field, I think it could still be a bad outcome for civilization as a whole because I think there's value in humans producing art, and in having a society where it's (at least somewhat) of a sustainable field.<p>Otoh, I think it's amazing that people can produce the kinds of images using image models, so I'm not sure. Ideally we'd be able to support people in what they want without needing their to be a market for it, but the world's not ready for that.
