After talking about Leaflit and her new AI Rigging tool in the last stream and I have to say, the Artists had it coming. The good ones will always remain, but the subpar Artists will directly compete with her tool and this is a GOOD thing. Free market of... ideas baby ! Way to many times I got declined for some bs reason, like political stance or virtue signalling. This new tool WILL get better and better and eventually be a valid competitor in the art market. Remember guys, the state it is in now, is the worst it will ever be !show more

Competition makes the product BETTER, and by association, the artists creating the product. Side note, anyone declining work due to their own political bias should probably look for a different line of work. Business is not for them. If you want to make money, you value your customer base. You do what you can for as many as you can, and give the quality that has people returning for more. It's common sense.

this is waaaaaay to logic for a place like this XD

I know. I worked at a job that routinely threw logic out the window, and I kept making the same mistake of....being logical. :P

Side note.....just noticed I wasnt following you. How was I not following you? Well, I am now :P

see i see it as an absolute win. ive been learning rigging slowly over time, but if i had a tool to do the basics, then i can focus on experimenting and learning more fun and advanced things. build the foundation, understand the tool, automate basic stuff, then go all out for where it really matters.

I love to Draw and i tried AI Creation and it wasn't as Fun to me. But i don't Mind If People want to use it. Also i Draw for Fun. I think Artists can coexists, doesn't matter what Tool ist used for it.

I still draw and do crafts myself. AI hasn´t stopped me from being creative. I´m glad to hear it hasn´t effected you either. at the end of the day it is a tool. A more convenient way to generate certain things...like thumbnails or animations. I also see the benefits of rigging assets or new outfits ,faster using this, rather than waiting for weeks and pay a fortune for every extra toggle.

Yes. I also Look on it in a more general way. AI can be useful in so many Fields. Like i wanted to build some Muscles,lose fat and do something against my backpain. I asked AI and it made me Workout Plan,a Mealplan and have Advise on how to fix my Back.

$5 honestly sounds reasonable for an emote, from what I recall Tectone mentioned being charged $100 per emote at one point

starting round 5 bucks and than it goes upwards. if u want them animated they cost more.

More and more, you prove why artists avoid you and that retard Leaflit. Artists helped build the Vtuber community, and continue to help maintain it. You remove the heart and soul from art when making anything in AI. Fuck you, and your slop, Mayonnaise Monkey.

suck on my long banana billy 😂

The antis are on the attack again, unsurprisingly. I love that it's all "muh community" when people get the opportunity to get models for cheaper. VTubing isn't a community, it's a style of streaming.

Karma. They're big mad the anti ai fools will cry even harder. Haters gonna hate.

Thanks to her work people can test the waters first. Instead of spending an ungodly amount of money before even starting a stream and maybe not even liking it, you now can test it with low investment. I keep an eye on it and maybe give it a go at some point and mess around a bit

Technology always gets adapted to fill a shortage/need in any market. This is just an example of that. AI isn't picky about its clients due to their politics. AI isn't going to ghost you for months claiming "health issues" or other crap. AI isn't going to come back in a year and claim you violated some bullshit T&C over your opinions. AI is just going to do what it can and that's it. Artists and Riggers will only suffer when THEY have been the biggest drivers of this technology in the first place.

Will it get better? This is the problem, you're buying in on the promise that it will be good one day guys I promise! Because right now it looks awful. Anyone buying in now before it gets to the good state everyone says it will be in is getting duped. More thievery.

Owen please , you can not deny the progress in just a few years. Don't be intellectually dishonest. This is like saying an alpha version of a game is the end product. Stupid

Lowering the financial barrier to entry for vtubing is a good thing I am going to use leaflits tool :), right now I’ve been using pngs for veadotube-mini

Literally within 2 tweets under this:

I am starting to become intolerant of artists. They act so entitled and smug like filthy liberals. My stance is AI is just a tool and you can use it or not. Good artists will continue to make money. Instead of going "I disagree but okay" they post a reaction image and block you.

Facts. I've been saying this for months on end by this point. Notice how the established, big artists and riggers aren't acting like utter buffoons about this. Because they run a business, know that they have work and will have work and nothing will affect that.

AI itself is irrelevant, what is being exposed is the problem of suckage running amok in the artist sphere. There's a reason I call them Bohemians, because many don't like the reality of their subpar reputation being called out. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that issue.

Well your absolutely right good artists who don't virtual signal and judge other will always have work those who do will be replaced. So my advice to those artists don't be a raging cunt

"artists had it coming" what an asshole blanket statement

but based, true and real 🤷‍♀️

If you say so. I'm not working in the VTuber space, but an artist I am and I'm just shocked at the otherism on display. Like damn, that's disappointing.

100% agree! The awesome artists like @Annu_Artss will always be here for us, but the ones who create issues for themselves and others will be easier to ignore now.

I love your accent

People just do not understand trades and its very clear here. Learning to rig at a high level takes dedication and basiclly being kinda shit at it to begin with. Most riggers and artists already work for shit hourly rates. This kind of thing will not inovate, it will destroy.

"Most riggers and artists already work for shit hourly rates." So this should then be offloaded on my shoulders ? I go for what fits my budget and not for type of entity that creates it . The top % of artists and riggers are very well off with their rates, like it is in any type of business. And yes, if your artworks are just bad and therefor people decide to not buy it and go to the competition, then it is capitalism, simple as that . No one is owing you their pockets, because you decided to do something.

I have said 4 decades that the "art" most people draw nowadays is "lazy ass crap". Most people that call themselves artists draw ugly sloppy lazy art & most of the artists r pretentious Wanabes. Beautiful art stops a person pulls them in holds them, The same with terrifying art.

Genuinely sybau, generative ai is dogshit and so are you for supporting it, why don't you just quit making content and let AI do it for you?

cause i do whatever I like ....duh

Too bad it took SO LONG for this to happen, for a incredibly long time "Artists" had a captive market and forced beyond PREMIUM prices for sub-par work by most of them, with some MAJOR EXCEPTIONS actually providing QUALITY.

So I can finally have a vtuber model without putting down a second mortgage on my house,baller. (OH by the way artist JUJU is right.)

Its not only the Price, some Western Artists also seem to have the Idea that they can hold their Customers in a legal or rather illegal chokehold and dictate what they can or can not do with the Art, never seen such delusions on eastern Artists like Japanese ones.

Just wait till you get kicked off twitch by the majority of the community, and have to run to kick

What community and why should I be scared about that ? 😂

Did most people fail to see "good ones will always remain" part. That's the whole point, Real, reputed and established talents will always get comms. This is just aimed at the subpar ones who doesn't understand basic agreements and deliverables.

People tend to just blend it out, or illiteracy , one of these two XD

I feel bad for the rando that got dunked on for commissioning a VTuber model at $40 and got a horrible result. Say what you want, but they tried to work with human artists, didn't work out - might as well go to AI at this point.

True and real.💯 Also ngl, it's fun watching the retards having meltdowns for it.

It just makes the entry level “free” but the professional level is where the artists and riggas should up their game, so they can compete on the market. Basic economics

More people creating is a good thing. The people freaking out are mad about more competitors encroaching on their competitive advantage which is increasingly becoming less relevant. Thanks for standing up to these bullies, have fun. :D

Oh and by the way a lot of these artist or riggers are usually left leaning so if they don’t wanna commission you because of these views then it’s best to use AI anyways so I’m pretty in support of using AI.

Attacking someone because they "want to help others" is low. She doing great work

When people make it impossible to do something say art because they don't like your out look or something other bs...people make tools to make it easier...if people didn't want people using Ai tools to help they wouldn't make that cut off point so hard

These artists who complain are the same as people who think their only value and pride is to use the most menial tools to do the most menial work. They are lint pickers and muck shovelers, and the cotton gin and excavator just showed up.
