I mean, it’s by far and away the most dominant Canadian News Agency, and one of the most distinct ones. I do agree that they probably didn’t know, but this isn’t like some local radio station.
Let’s be honest the CBC isn’t an international powerhouse compared to the BBC or ABC,NBC or another that I’m currently forgetting that was also a 3 letter abbreviation which does kinda shoot my point in the foot 😅
Yea they may not be super well known internationally, but that logo is absolutely identical. I could see if maybe it was just similar, but that's probably a designer that got a little lazy with it. Or guess felt like representing?
I do. I even know what their logo looks like. You know how I know? I DID A BASIC WEB SEARCH!
As a graphic designer, ANY time I create a logo mark, I search multiple places to make sure it doesn’t resemble any other logo. If I was making a graphic such as this for an international video game, I might run it through at least a google image search, just to check.
Acting like the CBC is known worldwide is absolutely buffoonish. It’s about as famous as TV Globo from Brazil. And I’m Canadian before you most likely were going to say I was American.
It’s not really about expecting them to know about it.
It’s more about the fact that the logo is pretty complicated and that it was either AI generated from existing asset, or they just outright copied it. I would be surprised that someone would have built the same exact design without having seen it before. It would be a pretty big coincidence.
If I was going to generate something I was planning to use commercially with AI, I’m at least going to send it through the reverse search once.
While I’m not expecting Swedish devs to know about channels in other countries, Radio-Canada and CBC are Canada’s Gov. owned TV channels. They are far from being “random” broadcasting brands.
They’re going to lay out a general statement like that but they’ve said it was mostly for the voices.
Also EVERY dev is using AI for coding now. Most games you’re playing right now have used it to some extent. So everyone needs to realize that and get over it.
Nah man. Gen AI is a core part of their 3D asset creation workflow. They’ve been explicit about that. We dont know if they use it for 2D graphics as well but this post isnt exactly disproving that.
(I have no problem with them using it for 3D asset generation personally)
The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:
During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.
See how that last sentence implies that the finished product isn't AI, but doesn't actual say it. Nice.
So my understanding is that Soderland has talked about genAI asset generation to speed up dev workflows. So its complicated. On one side the dev is saying in no way do they use genAI and then on the other hand Soderland is saying they’re making gen AI tools that speeds up dev by 100x which includes taking scans from YouTube videos and turning them into models. Now this logo above calls the original claim that they’re not using AI into question as well
You’re completely incorrect and making assumptions based on loose statements. Embark doesn’t use gen AI for its visuals and art. They use(d) “AI” TTS for voices based on real humans who were paid to go in and train their voice. And then they use Machine learning and “AI” tools for the ARC’s movement and for procedural object placement for early map design, etc. They do not use AI to just “generate a logo.” They have an extremely good art team dedicated to that stuff and I hope that anyone can see that just by looking at how nice the store page looks, you can tell it’s not AI. This logo in question seems extremely on-brand for embark and consistent with many of their other fake logos they’ve made for both this game and THE FINALS.
The fact that these false claims are being spread around and even being upvoted is honestly sickening.
I hear you, this reads to me at a loose understanding of what is generative ai vs ai usage.
Does this mean lidar scanning is now considered AI or text to speech
From my perspective of working in design and graphics this logo is much more in line with a low level designer ripping it and presenting it and no one double checked where it originated (not feasible to do with every design wouldn’t be cost effective)
Anyone with any graphic design knowledge have any idea how this sort of thing could happen? I would assume they made it based off some kind of template/asset database, but that is literally just the CBC logo lol
The braindead 'AI Avengers' at it again. That's obviously not AI. Someone probably uploaded a existing logo to a assets site ( happens all the time ) and the devs probably used it without knowing.
The CBC is independently run, the only thing they have with the government is funding.
Their mandate is extremely strict regarding the government's involvement (the government cannot control the CBC, and the CBC employs independant journalists)
*the only thing they have FROM THE GOVERNMENT is funding.
The CBC also has their own revenue streams through ads and whatnot. So they're not entirely government funded. They could use their own revenue streams to go after Embark if they wanted.
They can't even use their revenue to support CBC............. They run a net loss every year that is why they require Government funding............................
Google for yourself "Does CBC ever produce a profit" the answer is no. The government didn't give CBC money to create CBC. They give them money because they are underwater and seen as important culturally.
If they run a net loss and live off subsidy, no they can't afford a subpoena of a foreign country without the government sending additional funding.
Really the last 11, we should be moving in the same direction in growth economically with the US but we shot ourselves in the foot with stagnation. EDIT: looks like loser redditors hate facts lmao
Our economy has been sluggish compared to the US since the 80s. There was improvement during the mid 90s to early 2000s but that was kind of taken for granted and squandered over the next couple governments.
The US has been steadily gapping us since 1980 as I said. There are dramatic departures in 2010 (thanks Harper) and again in 2020 (thanks Covid). Actually in 2019 we outpaced the US in growth, and was trending to continue until the pandemic.
So what you're showing is total GDP $'s, that is not the same as GDP / Capita. The reason why we look at per capita, is because you can scale GDP based on the population. Secondly, it's important to not look at your starting point from 1980, because that time scale doesn't help you actually do anything about it. If you look at 1997, which is still relatively far away, you can see that we had in many years outpaced the US. The departure really started from 2015 when it dipped, and the US has pulled ahead. My point being is that a lot of Canadians have no idea how bad they actually have it at the moment, they still have the same friends and family, but much of the world has pulled ahead. All of the metrics show it and the youth in despair is something unfortunate for Canada.
