Are the examples of work in Western 2D better than in this project? I've already mentioned that the only one on Uber’s level or higher is Cloud Meadow. I’d say that’s a top-tier artist, but no one has even come close to them yet - plus, it’s pixel art.
Otherwise, you’re just repeating the same thing: that it’s shit, shit for you, shit, shit, etc. Do you realize that for many people, including me, the art is amazing? And it has improved a hundred times compared to before.
The only thing I didn’t like was Uber’s early AI period, but back then, AI as a whole was still weak. I’ve already explained in detail, with examples, why AI is just another tool now, like a digital tablet. No one’s talking about pure AI-generated art from raw prompts - that stuff is trash and a nightmare.
What Uber is doing is a fusion of a good (not the best) artist and AI, and that’s exactly what makes it work.
