CTOnews.com April 5 news, with the development of artificial intelligence technology, AI painting software is more and more powerful, can generate realistic images from text or pictures. For the gaming industry, this is an opportunity to improve efficiency and reduce costs, but for migrant workers, it may mean a wave of unemployment is coming.

According to Time Finance, a number of gaming companies have quickly embraced technological change and introduced AI painting into workflows to get rid of the huge talent pressure and financial anxiety in the gaming industry.

The game artist is the core of the game art, responsible for the design of the game's characters, scenes, props and so on. They need to have a rich imagination, painting skills and aesthetic literacy. But now, AI painting software can produce high-quality images in seconds, even surpassing the level of some original artists. This makes many original artists feel uneasy and scared. Some game companies have started using AI drawing software to supplement or replace the work of original artists, thus shortening development cycles and saving labor costs.

According to reports, according to news revealed earlier this year by Xinxin Network founder Huang Yimeng, as far as he knows, a game team has cut the original painting outsourcing team. The technical director of a game art outsourcing company also revealed that in the past month, his company has laid off half of the original artists: "The original artist uses AI to complete the plan, and the work efficiency can be improved by at least 50%. The demand of Party A that is already decreasing is quickly digested." The company definitely wouldn't hire idle people. Those original artists who didn't have any needs could only be optimized. Our company needed 38 original artists before, and now we have laid off 20 people. "

Even original artists working in big factories have to learn to use AI painting software and worry about their future.

It is reported that the impact of this AI on the original game artist comes from a universal plug-in called ControlNet released in February this year. On the basis of this plug-in, AI drawing software Stable Diffusion can more accurately present human posture, picture hierarchy, and complex three-dimensional structure, and support users to adjust picture details, which will effectively solve the problem of limb details that AI drawing has been difficult to solve before.

According to CTOnews.com, AI painting software cannot completely replace humans at present, and it still needs to be adjusted and optimized by the original artist. But it is already a powerful production tool that can help the original artist complete the early ideas and materials. This means that original artists need to be more innovative and professional in order to compete and cooperate with AI painting software.
