Nope and nope. Generative AI will neither disappear nor will the bubble burst. Instead, it will be like a child's balloon that has been forgotten in the corner: little by little, it loses air and momentum until all that remains is a shriveled and unsightly zombie balloon shell.
Everything becomes boring when everyone can do the same thing. Yawn!

At some point, we're gonna have to go "fvck waiting" for this bubble to burst and just grab the needle. The idea of AI replacing us is a god awful idea that somehow gained enough support to go WAY too far because too many dumbasses with siblings for parents thought the PROMPTstitutes were worth the cash it took to bring them to life.

Sat, Oct 04, 2025I completely agree. Ai will still be around generating 3d models and more. I don't think the models will be worth anything and eventually the cost of generating the slop will need to be paid by someone.
I'd rather support genuine artist and model makers with genuine design and products. Ai should be used for things like mesh clean up or re-topography. Even then it's often better to do it manually.

I've been making AI videos for a year now through open source software that renders on my computer. Usually when I make real videos about current events, they get more views than AI videos because any Loser can make AI videos through websites that render them very quickly on render farms. And I received a message on my channel that VO3 will be free on the phone for anyone, which is of course rendered on render farms. In short, impressing people with 3D videos by 3D artists is Almost impossible now because any retarded Loser can simply do it with AI. As time goes by, people prefer to watch real people who video themselves .
about AI music , you can make amazing songs in minutes , but if you're not a musician how the fuck you're going to perform them ? the answer is thru AI videos .
by the way i'm talking from experience i make AI videos and AI music videos for over a year now .
very soon VO3 will be available for free on your phone and anyone including your mom would do any video genre with zero knowledge about anything

Sat, Oct 04, 2025I played around and laughed at some of the early generative ai images. Considered if it could help generate textures for me. I still enjoy making them myself tbh. If however you can recommend something that is good at making a material set including bumps, normal etc I will give it another attempt.
I may use ai for some task if I was producing a game and had very little funding to pay for a crew. I can see for some tasks ai can be a valid tool alongside the traditional workflow. My son needs music for his projects and I let him use it for his coursework providing it's to support his animations. He's not marked on the ai music only the animation or video.
I was managing director of a video production company for over 5 years , made 3 music video's featured on MTV and many cover mount disk for magazine's . Live vision mixing alongside top Dj's
Maybe I've lost my passion for video but I don't find ai tempting at all. Saying that at age 50 my projects are a much slower pace than before. If I was young and trying to prove myself would I be tempted? Considering the results any game engine can give especially with computer mapping and green screen I'd likely go all-in on the the unreal train. If I had the budget and energy Cinema production would be my priority and having time to invest in ai would not even be a consideration.
Good luck to you though if you enjoy it .
I guess the real question is will productions hire ai artist. I see people on LinkedIn now with profiles stating ai artist. I wonder who hires them

I dont think burst is quite the right word, but I do believe AI will have phases of overhype and correction.
I recently saw a test by Transparent House (on their blog https://www.transparenthouse.com/post/can-ai-replace-a-real-shoot-we-put-it-to-the-test ) where they tried to see if AI could really replace a real shoot in architectural visualization. It showed some strengths, some clear limits.

Wed, Oct 08, 2025Much like the VR hype that seems to have a 30 year boom and bust cycle. Thanks for the comment and link, interesting stuff.
Really interesting video. It seems to come down to education and an understanding of how AI works plus critical thinking. I also read several articles that detail how much money these companies are NOT making vs. the predictions they made of the "huge" proft margins from generative AI. The bubble will eventually burst just like the dotcom one did. Then it will level off in a similar fashion. More and more governments wil begin getting laws in places because of the potential to cause so much damage using AI videos.
If you talk to people, most people are concerned about AI and even see it as a threat to some extent. There are multiple news articles discussing how AI is killing entry level jobs. This is but one example, there are dozens of articles from reputable sources regarding this issue:
https://hbr.org/2025/09/the-perils-of-using-ai-to-replace-entry-level-jobs
In short, AI might have some uses, but overall, it's not the life altering thing that its creators and rabid adopters would have the rest of us beleive it is. Unless of course, it's taken that entry level position you've been applying for.

Wed, Oct 08, 2025Ai is killing entry level jobs. another factor is the veteran staff are using ai and not practicing the skills themselves. Eventually there will be no one left that can use the software XD
"Adobe Photoshop new "Harmonize" tool uses AI to blend images with pro-level realism" So blending layers will be a lost art unless the pro's do it manually.

I duno about anyone else but i am fed up with real artist being attacked by incompetent fools that think using ai makes them creative. Stop trolling real artist.
AI is a graphic tool not a form of art. Art needs human emotion. Idiots forget this simple yet obvious point.

Tue, Jan 27When I had to take a break to deal with a new house the stance on Renderhub was NO AI...I come back and the front page image is very bad AI..and I am about to wipe my account. What happened? WHY are bloody blue earth are they supporting environmentally killing, slop!? They use to support real artists that put in the work and now they are prompt puppets?

Tue, Jan 27You call it evolving? Where? Art is HUMAN created. Not prompt puppet slop. There is zero human effort. Most prompts now are copy/pastes. That is not evolving. That is becoming what the wee disney cartoon WALL-E showed...lazy, people, slumped in chairs with everything done for them...I do not call that evolving...

Wed, Jan 28I completely agree with you, but progress doesn't always lead to improvement; AI in music and image creation is a good example.

AI is not going anywhere, it is only expanding. is the AI Slop dead, sure, but that is only a tiny fraction of the AI juggernaut.

Wed, Jan 28https://tech.yahoo.com/ai/articles/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-says-040000912.html
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is concerned that if artificial intelligence doesn’t start delivering real, measurable benefits to society, people will be fed up with it and its price, ending its current form of existence. The Davos stage is an odd venue and audience to preach societal good over other goods, but it certainly helped his comments stand out.
AI developers "have to get to a point where we are using this to do something useful that changes the outcomes of people and communities and countries and industries. Otherwise, I don't think this makes much sense," Nadella explained during a conversation with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink.
"We will quickly lose even the social permission to take something like energy, which is a scarce resource, and use it to generate these tokens, if these tokens are not improving health outcomes, education outcomes, public sector efficiency, private sector competitiveness, across all sectors, small and large."

Wed, Jan 28Thank you for that, Excessive.
I hope this is like HoloLens and the hollo things (virtual reality). It doesn't truly go away but it fades into the background.
I really don't want people to lose their jobs to the technology.

Wed, Jan 28The "Slop" is not dead. I was shocked to find it on the front page of renderhub. With the IRONIC notation of how many polygones etc,etc,etc. The slop may get to some, harder to detect, but it is not dead. it is the "easy" out for those that can not handle putting effort in. That is the sad truth.
I can respect work and effort and…failure. As without failure you never move forwards. I can not respect those that blatantly steal, and then LIE about it. Such as the piece I found on the front page of Renderhub!
The disappointment I felt seeing it...again. The disappointment I felt in the fact the place that use to have the stance it was for HUMAN artwork...now sliding into a muck mire of slop...is completely....I dont have words.

There are two vectors that will soon crash into each other.
1.) Seemingly endless money is being pumped into AI development and "investment". It's a race to see which megacorp could profit the most from the endgame of AI, which is:
2.) The replacement of Human-held jobs with AI.
AI doesn't drive the economy. Humans do. Once there's enough Humans who are unemployed, the only money changing hands will be the megacorps. What will they be producing, and for whom? What will they do when nobody can buy what they're selling?
Don't even get me started on the shortage of physical silver. Silver's needed in manufacturing electronic components, and this AI slop-wave is gobbling up every cirtuit needed to keep it going.
We're cooked. This goes way beyond artwork being misappropriated. The misappropriation of art is just the first step. This is an economic race to the bottom, and everything's at stake. Our global energy, our global water resources, our global manufacturing materials, and our global workforce.

19 Hours agoI've been wanting to make a post about such things, but they have very little to do with RenderHub and DAZ Studio. Still making stuff in Studio, but I've also been making jewelry and other things, combining what I have and can buy with 3D printed parts. I've modeled a lot of jewelry findings in Blender and printed working pieces with one of my 3D printers. I've also been engraving painted canvas with one of my laser engravers.
In other news, I've set aside my career as a bowl tech, and picked up a job as a slot tech at a casino about a mile away from my house. Been there a month now, and the pay is equal to what I was making servicing pinspotters, plus a full benefits package and I'm in a union now. My tech director has a 3D printer and a gantry laser engraver. We've talked about opening brick & mortar stores for 3D printing, sales, and prototype design. A lot has changed in my life.
My 3D renders have slowed down because I am learning a new skillset; I'm not turning wrenches anymore. My servicing involves electronics and computer modules now, and since I am working on slot machines I am learning procedures due to handling a *lot* of cash. I hold two licenses with the Ohio Lottery Commission. It's mentally exhausting.
