what excites me most about AI is that there's a chance we're about to see a renaissance of beauty, heroism, and virtue
for the past few decades, if you wanted to make a movie, a videogame, a TV show, you needed prohibitively large amounts of money, far beyond what most people could afford, and the approval of studios and institutions that decided which stories were allowed to be told, which characters could be played by which actors, which values promoted
in recent years we've seen even more ideological messaging being shoved into practically every form of entertainment, to the point where you can't even watch a movie or play a videogame without someone trying to lecture you about something, especially if the target audience is kids
all of this is becoming optional
what happens when a single person, or a small group of talented people, can create a videogame with the quality of a AAA title? when you can make your own movies, fictional universes, your own stories, your own school curriculum?
imagine being able to create an entire animated series for your children, with beautiful stories and characters you actually want them to admire, or videogames where you play as a real hero, someone who embodies courage, honor, loyalty, sacrifice, love for their family, instead of having to sit through another ideological lecture
i genuinely think we could see something extraordinary
a return of the hero's journey, of stories that inspire children to become good people. beautiful worlds and inspiring characters you grow up wanting to be like
the best part is that you don't need to convince anyone to make these things. parts of this are already a good prompt away. people can just make them because they want to, because these are the stories and morals they care about and want their children to grow up with
obviously there will still be propaganda, probably more than ever. but we won't have to settle for it
we haven't really started to think about what happens when we can simply make the things we wish existed. a world of infinite (and GOOD) possibilities
the more i think about it, the more excited i get

for example, I can make a Christian anime that tells the truth of the Babylonian world instead of having to kill my soul and work for a girlboss trans activist netflix show

Hey so this is my life's work. I'm using all of my skills in music, illustration, ideation, writing, video editing - and i'm getting my friends and peers involved. There's still time to be a part. An ever evolving screenplay is done, a pilot episode too, and grants are on the way

I have a 100 page game develop doc and I am just biding my time, waiting to retire and for AI tech to advance to the stage where I can do this.
"The Altered is an FPS horror looter-shooter set in a post-apocalyptic city overrun by nightmarish viral-mutated animals - leaping werewolves, infected bat swarms, fire-breathing toads, werebears, and worse. Players join the United Army of Nations (UAN), the last remnant military protecting civilian survivors, and must enlist in one of four Companies whose alliances with each other rotate weekly. Together they fight to clear Dens and Lairs, survive the dangerous loot extractions from hostile players, and engage in an ongoing tug-of-war over powerful Hives scattered across the map. By claiming Hives and ultimately destroying the central Hive Queen, a guild can win the campaign and help humanity begin to rebuild."

I don’t speak very openly about my private work but I will say you are completely right. There are many a creative mind that haven’t had a far reach because of the barriers to entry and the rules of the game.
We are entering an era where one guy with enough passion and willingness to do the work can change the game and I can assure you they are hard at work.

Thank you for pointing this out.
Over the last couple of years the AI community has been attacked from all sides. Granted there is a lot of "slop" out there, but your sentiment is accurate.
Without money I cannot realise some of the fashion images that I generate. A short on its way, and the beginnings of a short horror game. Something like Layers of Fear but more grown up.
Anyway, AI art is heading in the right direction. It's sorting the sophisticated from the slop.

you can also explore more depth in certain game mechanics that just add something a little extra nice to the game that would have otherwise been relegated to a menu selection and nothing more. i've been exploring these quite a bit in modding games to just do little extra things like painting, scrapbooking, importing books/manga into the game to read anywhere, etc.

I'm standing firm on this take.

I believe the reason many indie games use pixel art is because it has lower complexity, not because indie devs (or audiences) inherently prefer that.
AI makes it possible to execute on far more complex ideas, ones that were previously out of reach for a solo, indie dev.
