i'm not judging anyone for using AI, it's your decision. what i hope is that you take the time to also understand the technology AI is built off of, the data it's trained on, so you understand the biases and limitations the results it provides you with don't be afraid to learn

the nuance part is that AI is actually an amazing piece of technology to help automate and look for details that a human otherwise cannot. but let's be real, that isn't the intended use case for AI these days. AI is used for the most mundane tasks (writing a message???) nope.

I've been reflecting on how AI's been impacting our mental capacity and taking away the opportunity to learn. This is too long for a tweet but tldr - I believe while AI is a shortcut to solving a problem, it takes away the joy of figuring out a solution i hate that.
I am against the use of generative AI. I do not use AI to code and I do not use it for any sort of creative work. I usually try to avoid drama but I want to be clear about my feelings on AI. To be transparent, I have used AI in the past, sometimes out of curiosity to try it

Too sick
Some new UI animation + VFX for an upcoming project. Being able to bind variables to widgets has been one of the most valuable UEFN updates ever. Can't wait for buttons. Nice work @jwzyy and the team 🤘

We’re hiring a Motion Graphics Artist! If you love bold design, 2D animation, and sleek UI/UX work for games — we’d love to chat! Experience with After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator (and a curiosity for Rive) is a plus. Remote-friendly, creative, and fast-moving team. DMs

HUGE!!! New "smell" device found within the UEFN documentation! From what I'm seeing, default smells include "grassy fields", "fast food meal", "the storm", and "new car" #FortniteLeaks #UEFN #UEFNLeaks
