You don't have to agree with everything Andrew says. But IMO this is a fair and honest take. As 3D artists we need to be aware of these tools.
Like actually try them in real workflows and then decide if we want to use them heavily lightly or not at all.
We are way past the point where these tools wont exist. Ignoring them wont make them go away.
The labor saving and human judgment part was spot on.

I think that's a fair take. I don't get why @andrewpprice is getting so much heat recently

The idea that professional artists will be able to resist AI workflows forever - on someone else's dime - is quite frankly, foolish. Consider how likely you would be to hire a plumber at 10x the price because they refuse to use a snake camera?
I still sketch for fun. I still model when I could download, for fun. But for work? I use whatever tool is best for the goals of the project, in the least time. It's always been this way.
I get no pleasure from saying this. But refusing the more efficient tool rarely ends well for professionals.
My first car model on the left from 2007. And a generated version on the right. For a hero asset, the left approach still wins. For a background asset, the right is perfectly fine. Use what works.

Lately I haven’t been as present here.
Not because I stopped caring, but because I’ve been a bit lost. Burnout, overthinking, not having a clear direction. It all caught up at once.
There’s also a side of this that people don’t really see. Creating the kind of art I love feels like a luxury sometimes. And lately, I’ve had to focus more on work that pays the bills. It’s still creative, but it’s not what I truly want to be doing every day.
And that slowly messes with you. You start doubting yourself. You question your path. You’re not sure what direction even makes sense anymore.
I’m not going to pretend it’s been easy. The past few months have been heavy.
But at the same time, I’m grateful. I’m healthy, I’m here, and I know I’ve found my way before. I’ll find it again.
Just taking it one step at a time.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-multimed…

I created this post-apocalyptic scene in #Blender as soon as EEVEE Next was released. Faster render times than Cycles. Not a replacement, but a different tool with its own aesthetic. That slightly stylized look actually adds to the atmosphere. Color grading did the rest. #cgi

This type of art is basically completely immune to DLSS5 due to being idiosyncratic as seven hells.
