A game developer leaks a sad cry that ``AI has deprived me of work rewards overnight''
Stern Safari, one of the users of the overseas bulletin board Reddit, reports, ``Through Midjourney (image generation AI), I lost all the opportunities to love my job overnight.''
I lost everything that made me love my job through Midjourney over night.
Safari is a small game company with 10 employees and is employed as a 3D artist for an art team of just 2 people. The business content is 'to create a 3D model, render the model, and acquire a 2D sprite for a game engine.' The game company where Safari works creates 2D sprites for mobile games.
However, after the release of ``Midjourney V5'', the latest version of the image generation AI ``Midjourney'' in mid-March 2023, Safari's work will change completely. Safari says, ``I am no longer an artist or a 3D artist. The reason why I wanted to be a 3D artist is gone.I just loved creating things with my hands in 3D space.”

Since the appearance of Midjourney V5, Mr. Safari's work seems to have changed to 3D model AI-generated characters over a couple of days, rig them, and animate them. It seems that it took several weeks for a series of work before, but it seems that the appearance of Midjourney V5 has succeeded in significantly shortening the time. However, Mr. Safari said, 'I am very concerned about this change in work, but my boss does not care at all.It is only a saving of time and money for my boss.' I mourn the loss of
In addition, Mr. Safari said, 'I do not want to create' art 'by collecting contents on the Internet even though it is not wanted, but what AI generates is better than the work I make.' He admits that AI-generated illustrations are better than his own work.
Also, 'I'm angry. My colleague who works on the art team doesn't seem to have a problem at all, I create illustrations while typing prompts into AI all day and submit it to my boss for praise. Art What my teammates and I create weren't on the same level in terms of quality, I was always just a little bit better in terms of shape, texture, rendering, etc. I was always a little bit better in quality. I was confident that I would not lose my job by creating things, but that advantage was completely gone, and the desire to use my creative energy to create work was gone.' I'm talking
Finally, Safari said, ``It's hard to get a job in the game industry.It's very dystopian to abandon the company and the wonderful team just because AI has taken my job. I feel that it is a thought. Can I do a better job at another company? I am between sadness and anger, ”he expresses his complicated feelings.
In fact, there are multiple examples of using image generation AI for game development.

On Reddit, ``This is just the tip of the iceberg. The use of AI will cause disaster,” or “As a recruiter, some of my work is already being actively replaced by AI. While there are many pessimistic comments that AI will take away jobs, such as 'I can see a future where people will be able to do it', on the other hand, 'I work in recruitment, but I'm not good at writing. ChatGTP is perfect. Since it spews out sentences, my work will be much easier if I use it by modifying it.”
Also, 'I think AI will be a long way off from replacing 3D artists. I can only say that it's unfortunate that the game studio you work for has found a way to incorporate AI into their work, but still Only part of the workflow for a single or similar project has been replaced by AI.3D production includes modeling, UV mapping , texturing, materials, rigging , animation, lighting, art direction, rendering, game development, UI, and more. It covers a wide range of fields, including UX. Don't lose hope, create a portfolio and broaden your skills.'
Hacker News added, 'The web design and development industry has changed dramatically with the rise of website building tools like Wix, Squarespace, and Shopify. As co-founder and lead developer of a small design and development team, I loved his job and was passionate about creating beautiful and functional websites, but as more and more customers started using the website creation services mentioned above, the high pricing for website creation services became a problem. It was getting harder and harder, our work was getting more sophisticated and optimized for SEO, but many of our clients were reluctant to pay more than £10,000. Ultimately, I realized that our deal had become commoditized and made the difficult decision to sell the business and move in a different direction, after which I got a job as a product manager. After many years of success, I was able to eventually become the CTO of a startup, but I still miss my past work of building websites from scratch.” There are also stories of users who have lost their jobs at.
This user said, 'I encourage you to consider other avenues to maintain your passion for development. Doing side projects as a hobby, collaborating with friends in the industry to start an indie project, or Consider teaching your craft to others.” “Your job may have changed, but your passion for creating great 3D models is still pushing you to adopt new methods.” It can be lively, ”he recommends demonstrating his passion for work in other ways.
