Two-person indie studio Chequered Ink launched a pack of 10,000 game assets to “give budding developers an alternative to AI”, which includes over 9,000 graphics for platformers, RPGs, puzzle games, board games, and more, as well as over 700 sound effects.
Just because you’re not a big company doesn’t mean, that that is not stealing.
And yeah, a lot of independent artists works are being scraped and yes, they are struggling, have you ever talked to one?
Have I ever talked to a struggling artist? Because if I had, then I would know they are sad and worried because ai took their booming business of creating textures and now it’s difficult to pay the bills? 😀
Artists have always struggled. Whole of human history. I met many artists and I don’t think any of them had much money.
But that’s beside the point. There is a world of textures ai can be trained on without stealing anything. It’s textures.
