It hit me days ago. A full generation brainrotted by lootboxes and gambling mechanics. I was generating my 3D models I realized that I was a boomer rather failed artist putting coins in a slot machine waiting for the good image to come out.
On the good side I can say I only pick 1 month for the products I tried, or tested the free trials. But that feeling of "okey this time it's gonna be the good gen", is so rarely completed. And the wish to get back on the loop to get that hit again of "that's it! I like this rendering!".
Instead of "one day I'll hit jackpot", you have the "one day the tool will be good enough so I can fulfill my vision". So you put the little gen coins in, rolling and rolling the gens until the perfect thing comes out. But it never comes out perfect, it's always "good enough".
So I don't know. As a musician when I was inspired, I got my music out. I rendered it assembling pieces left and right. Instruments, sounds, movements. And the "good enough" feeling was present almost every time. Even those shitty songs nobody listen to, I like them as my children, and I can dive into them from time to time remembering the emotion I was in while making them. The defects exist, there is a cemetery of my bad songs, but the conversion rate and the value obtained seems so much more than with AI gens.
Those images, they feel so disconnected, and there's so much shit before actually reaching the good part.
Is it because it's a new tool, a new instrument to practice on? Is it because I'm bad at it? Surely. Should I use the open source tools instead of throwing the gen coins into the services? Sure. A deep new tool to learn.
I can see it, and I get now why big studios want the AI gen. The idea of replacing humans to cut cost is not a final plan.
The final plan is to make people addict to the generation of their new world. Feeding on their inability to produce and build their own things.
Ideas and dreams into products, detached from human capacities.
