    I don't use Etsy myself, but why wouldn't they simply have a "Made with AI" tag? It'd be the best of both worlds for them - they still get the money from the AI stuff being uploaded, actual creatives would feel like there's a degree of separation, and customers wouldn't complain about feeling duped.

    Ok, my 2 cents. Before I step in and defend the use of AI tools in the creation of artwork I would like to say I fully agree with 98% of everything you pointed out in the video and the low-effort trash, and lack of research on a subject matter before bringing a product to market is discussing and I'm glad Etsy has addressed some of it with there listing grouping (If it works but I'm not hopeful). Getting to the point, I'm a Bachelor's Degree graduate from an art school and have adopted GenAI into my workflow. I realize I'm in the minority as I make different home decor posters centered around -punk themes. But unlike my competitors, nothing is generated and posted. Everything gets its pass through Photoshop and most final designs are composite of multiple elements. I even go the extra step of ensuring that with my Cyberpunk series, all Chinese/Cantonese is Traditional as the genre has more in common with Hong Kong than Main Land. To address Generators I would like to offer a different explanation. Anyone can make a poster by hand same as they can with a Generator and they can call themselves an artist for that but it doesn't make them skilled. Those who have developed the skill of writing prompts are still artists same as a guitarist, a painter, or a sculptor but they are not Graphic Artists. They are a new form of writer that composes a play for the Generator to act out and produce a piece of graphic art. So while I will say yes you did at the end say skilled artists are using the system the 2% I can't agree with is the bashing of a virgining art form that has people making posters with crayons and people making posters with narration. But to close out this I would like to pull back and say even with inpainting on AI tools and even if the tech gets really advanced, graphic editing is still superior for final detail work. Please consider adding a Gen into your workflow if for nothing else than to use in ideation or planning.

    ​@raven75257 you jest but to be honest yes. If you know how to manipulate the search engine using Not (-), Exact (" "), site: , the date ranges or any of the other dozens of short hand elements to get the results you want faster then the average person that get Over SEO'ed crap info on the first 3 pages then I'll call you an artist, Hell I'd make you a business card for it and solicit you to employers. I believe an Artist is anyone that has achieved skill over a discipline. I appreciate your humor but also agree with punchline as still an example an artist, sorry.

    In my opinion, what makes art art is the intention behind any decision that is made to create the artwork. Almost all people have a sense of ästhetic, form or color, thats why choosing things out of a set of options is way easier than creating those options. That also means that artist are people that make those decisions, better artists being people that can make better decisions for their intention. They can manipulate your perception to make you feel specific things. It doesnt matter if prompting is a skill, or how good quality the quality is, AI will always lack intention and understanding. If someone uses AI to generate options for them to chose from, they are less of an artist in my opinion

    GoImagine has been taking up the handmade niche if you need a marketplace. And I love their AI policy as it’s Technical only allowed, if you do your own fulfillment while signing and numbering each canvas or print. Something the prompt and publish people would never do. But the minority of existing artists leveraging AI would.

    The Xbox 360 did well in Europe but the Xbox One was doomed from the start with a presentation focused on US sports and streaming services coupled with the console being unavailable in most European countries. It was a big sign saying "we don't care about you" to Europe. Meanwhile, the Playstation 4 was available across Europe so everyone went with what their friends were buying even in places the Xbox One was available.

    Phil Spencer is charming and likeable but do not be mistaken, he is a shark and a corporate stooge who’s only true love is money. He’s just got excellent interpersonal skills. Never believe in ANY corporate stooge. They’re ALL money-junkie stooges and they don’t care about you and when you’re not looking they’re making fun of you. Phil is no exception. None of them are or they’d be pursuing something other than just money and prestige.

    I'm glad more people are realizing that the handling of the Xbox One's prerelease news cycle was only the nuke that broke the Xbox's back rather than a lone killing blow. Going all-in on the Kinect to chase the already on-the-way-out Wii niche destroyed the 360's fairly secure lead over the 360. It was very much a gaming equivalent of The Tortoise and the Hare.

    5:21 Not entirely true but not entirely false. The craze of the motion controls died off temporarily before picking back up in recent years with some Nintendo Switch games. Sometimes, you might come across some trending videos of people playing the Wii and Wii U again and picking back up in popularity.

    The Kinect had potential, it's just the promises for what the Kinect could do went unfulfilled. They said it could do things that it just couldn't do, or at least not well. The tech behind it is actually impressive, honestly I think the best use for an improved Kinect-like device is as a way to control robots in the real world. I hope that tech is further developed, combined with VR, there's potential for it being useful outside of video games.

    I used to be a pretty solid Xbox fanboy, but yeah, that line "Go buy a 360 if you don't like One" took all the wind out of my sail.
