One group finds a way to automate a job, and then our whole society agrees that the people who previously did that job should be tossed out into the street. But for some reason we blame the first group rather than the second.
It's a funny euphemism, in a dark sort of way. But if there is a domain where AI is not getting humans out of a job anytime soon, I think it's this one. I've read dozens of papers about remeshing, but for all of the research, very few algorithms make it to production pipelines. And those that do, still crash and fail in spectacular ways, even after a decade or more of refining and bug-fixing.
"Our method points to a promising approach for the automatically generation of Artist-Created Meshes, which has the potential to significantly reduce labor costs in the 3D industry, thereby facilitating advancements in industries such as gaming, film, and the metaverse. However, the reduced cost of obtaining 3D artist-created meshes could also lead to potential criminal activities."
That last statement is worded in such a weird way, lol. Funny Chinese->English transliteration.
"The FBI has issued a warning for potential criminal activity resulting from the automatic generation of low-poly models. The public is advised to minimize outdoors exposure and report any suspicious activity."
