cross-posted from: https://piefed.social/c/Bside/p/1540475/indie-studio-released-10000-game-assets-to-help-devs-avoid-ai
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.
What are the odds that this wasn’t all immediately added to AI training data?
It costs money, so middling.
But the point isn’t to prevent AI trainers from scraping it, it’s to provide alternatives to artificially-generated assets.
Why would there be an issue with creating textures with ai?
Because of how generative AI works. It’s trained on stolen data.
That’s it? It’s textures, it’s not like you are ripping off a struggling artist. I’m all for debating the finer nuances of copyright and big companies stealing data, but this is generating textures. You can do that with a free model on your computer. Might not even be trained of stolen data. And it’s not under control of any big company using this data to get rich.
@otter ça me rappel 20 ans en arrière, des Cd ROM rempli d’image clipart (100k+) pour intégrer à nos documents Word : On ne trouvai jamais ce qu’on voulais dedans.
Cette initiative est futile 😞
Because people weren’t complaining about the world ending with “asset flip” games for a decade?
So it still gets something else to do the work for you without paying for it?

Ah. Not free. Just trying to cost compete? Though I’m not sure this does that.
Zimage(sp?) gives something close to what I want in 2 seconds, no searching around, and definitely will generate cthulu wearing reindeer horns.
I hate the emojis being used in headings and descriptions, that screams AI itself to me. I know it likely isn’t in this case, but ughh… that’s like one of the most obvious signs.
