An AI tool could construct a virtual scene and then take a simulated photograph or make a simulated photorealistic painting. While I would prefer that people always use words like virtual or simulated to describe it, I think it’s likely that it will often get dropped. I’m thinking of the camera in metal gear solid. At some point people get used to something and start using less precise language.
- Etheryte 2y agoThat's called a render.
- benatkin 2y agoThe trained neural net form of it would perhaps be a virtual render.
- tomatotomato37 2y agoThat's as much as a photograph as someone manually creating a scene in blender and running it through the Pixar Render farm or whatever to get an ultra realistic scene - as the sibling comment stated what you have is a render Similarly the camera in MGS would be a screenshot, as in a shot of the screen
- mejutoco 2y agoA painting is actually painted with pigment on something. An LLM by itself cannot grab a brush. Maybe with something else.
- benatkin 2y agoIt has virtual brushes. This predates AI by quite a lot. It's important to be careful to call it a virtual or simulated painting but perhaps not all the time. Maybe every single instance it's brought up but not always repeated – if you wrote a paper about virtual painting perhaps 10 of 100 occurrences of the term painting would come with a term like virtual or simulated.
- mejutoco 2y agoA simulated painting is not a painting, so there is no contradiction.
