Here is the full statement from the studio director regarding our stance on Generative AI (originally posted with the attached image on February 15, 2024): "Our studio has a policy regarding generative AI art and content. I’ve already had a handful of folks ask me if this is a wise move, asking if this decision might hamstring our development as a studio. But, having experimented with the tools, I can honestly say we can do a better job without them. If they figure out a way to refine the tools that won’t continue to conflict with the intellectual property of other artists, maybe (a big maybe) we’d give them a second look. But as somebody who has also tasted the bitter pill of tech industry layoffs because of big studios shifting to AI to cut corners and save a buck, I never want to inflict that upon anybody else. To be clear, I don’t necessarily hate or disrespect those who want to continue to invest in the future AI has to offer (provided it can overcome the current issues). But with the current industry’s “all in, despite the consequences” or “the ends justify the means” approach to AI right now, I feel anything that devalues our contributor’s work in any way should not have a place in the studio. Some may disagree with this approach, but I sleep better at night, knowing I am doing everything possible to protect my artists and creative contributors. And if you can’t understand that or consider such a move “bad for business,” then I’m delighted to disappoint you." Original post: https://lnkd.in/guAR9ATX
