Born in 1918, Gertrude Elion faced discrimination in #science, unable to get a job as a woman. So she volunteered as a lab dishwasher, earning enough $ for grad work at NYU, where she was the only woman in chemistry classes.
Eventually Elion helped revolutionize medicine w George Hitchings. They figured out how to interfere with cell growth, leading to effective drugs for treating leukemia, gout, malaria, herpes & more, earning a 1988 Nobel Prize. acs.org/education/whatischemisโฆ #HistoryRemix #history

Point and click adventure Zarathustra uses AI Art and AI Voices
gamingonlinux.com/2023/11/poinโฆ
As someone who cannot art for shit, I can absolutely see why a person would do this. And it's not like they're charging money for the game. But I find it somewhat disheartening in a field of game development where "lovingly handcrafted" is kind of a given.
And, at the risk of sounding both precious and pretentious, the implications for the genre as an art form should this prove to be worthwhile are worrying.
Well spotted, @gamingonlinux

Point and click adventure Zarathustra uses AI Art and AI Voices
Well this is sure to be an interesting one and will no doubt spark up some comments - Zarathustra is an in-development point and click adventure that looks intriguing but the way it's made will raise some eyebrows.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I always find the idea that someone "can't art" to be a failure of our educational and social systems.
There are so many ways to art. The biggest thing that makes art is time and a willingness not to give up. Even visually unappealing stuff finds an audience when there's enough passion & truth behind it.
Massive success is iffy sure but AI art won't fix that. If everything can look phenomenal then something else will be the reason for success.

I've tried using AI as a shortcut for gaming artwork to reduce workload but I've never found it to be very consistent & this looks the same... Passable with a cursory glance but adventure game scenes are often viewed for extended periods.
So far AI art is good for a laugh but it has no vision & no genuine originality so I don't think artists need fear yet.
well, it was bound to happen.
i see a lot of people in the diy ml sphere who train datasets for stuff like this with only ethically sourced material (eg self-made or CC0 stuff). any words on that from these devs?
