Wanna respond to a few common comments First, I apologize for implying everyone who liked Corridor’s video has poor taste. There are definitely things to like about it in terms of writing and direction. I let my own extreme distaste for the visuals and especially the derivative process behind them colour my judgement on that point, and I’m sorry to anyone who felt insulted by that. Second, to anyone here to comment “you’re just afraid of progress” 19:56 Third, likening AI art to “collage” is an oversimplified metaphor. I was trying to condense an extremely complicated technical process in order to keep the discussion focused on the ethics and ramifications of the tech for animation, but I probably should have gone into more detail. That said, for those claiming that AI can’t recall its training data at all, that point is simply wrong.

What you’re describing has already been decided in court to be illegal by the actor Crispin Glover. While he was alive, his likeness was used to make a CGI version of himself for the movie back to the future part 2, because he could not get the desired payment he wanted for his part. He fought it and won, and set a very important legal president for every actor. So it is already illegal to use the likeness of any actor for commercial use without their consent or the consent of the estate if they are deceased.

Just like always, there's a great example of an animator's thumbprint on their animation in "Keep your hands off Eizoken". The animator character only realised she held her chopsticks wrong on the day their anime short was being shown off, which led to characters in that short holding their chopsticks wrong too. Her parents were watching the short and instantly recognised that she worked on it because of these chopsticks.

This reminds me of when I worked on a 2D animated feature film production a few years ago, me and my extremely talented coworkers doing rough animation. Trust me that these people are good at what they do. But then the studio confirmed to us that all clean-up (retracing the rough animation into smooth, clearly defined lines ready for coloring) and inbetweening (adding more frames inbetween the key poses, breakdowns etc to make the animation smoother) would be done completely through an automated computer program. You could see all our faces droop in disappointment when we saw the first results. Any sense of weight or timing was completely gone, everything felt floaty and lacking of all the charm that was there in the rough animation we did. There's definitely things AI can do to make our jobs a little easier like automated coloring, but things like this make it incredibly clear that they just cannot replicate the human eye for detail. It can't think like us about how drawing an inbetween not precisely in the middle of two frames but closer to one or the other, or delaying one frame in favor of another, can change the animation to be more appealing. It just goes the easy boring way every time.

Fully support that argument, we've heard a good many examples of artifacts damaged just because the people (usually developers) breaking into sites and not knowing what's mixed in with the tons of dirt they've just excavated until it's too late, and then those projects get postponed indefinitely due to the speed of said archeological research. One example of a possible application of AI in Creative Content Development might be to employ said Creative Artist to present a style (instead of said AI developers wholesale trawling the Internet of every and all copyright protected content) to the learning process and then integrating said algorithms to speed up the animation process, so animators control the fluidity of the motion instead of having to draw them frame by frame. Or even CGI processing tons of details instead of having a large number of overworked CGI artists develop that programming for just one movie (for example, LOTR, Pixar movies, etc). There are so many options, and the shills only argument is "we don't want to pay artist for their labor". They're actively worsening the problem.

Anime is a good example of a place where AI tools can be useful to creators, but Ai is not useful as a creator. Definitely a workable use of an Ai tool would be to generate Interframes to transition between Keyframes as a post processing step. As the lawyers are saying, "AI will not replace Lawyers, Lawyers with AI assistance will replace Lawyers without it". The labor issue is a different issue entirely. The current industry is relying on never ending crunch to get the product out the door with tiny underpaid teams. Every tool introduced to make workers more productive has the potential to improve work conditions, or to demand more output. Places that already have strong labor laws, unions, or pro-worker cultures will see workers more productive and happy. But any company already exploiting workers will exploit them for more and pay less. The cotton gin could have made workers lives better, instead it made cotton slavery profitable.

DO keep in mind that its still not an easy process since the only part of making an anime that has become easy is the animation part...you would still have to act or film the scenes and check and correct stuff just like regular anime. the process has now become much similar to making a live action movie.

Hello Geoff, something I want to add as an artist that has been to school for some years, AI art is not trained to make art as it is not trained in the fundamentals of art as well. When an artist studies another's work, they often have an understanding of things like line, shape, composition and so and so on. AI is fed images that were made by artists that have a learned or instinctual understanding of these fundamentals. Artist trained in fundamentals should be able to create anything they can image or think of because they are fundamentals. The AI are not trained to do that. You can feed it a thousand images of cute anime girls and it can create cute anime girls but if you ask it to change the pose? If it's not trained, it doesn't work. This is why so many AI images are so shit with anatomy and things like extreme perspective, they are not trained and do not have the understanding that humans learn through watching things in motion for years upon years of life. Great video and also, posting for view is not consent to use another artists work, especially given the way that AI "Studies" art. (Edit) something I wanted to add really quickly. Another issue with AI art is that it generates finished artworks. One if the best parts of arts is the futzing around it takes to make some art pieces. I mentioned earlier extreme perspective and by that I meant things like foreshortening. I have drawn the classic and foreshortened pose, "character punching at viewer/camera", dozens of times and each time I have to futz about with it, control z-ing and erasing until I get something that works. Asking an AI images generator will give you a finished drawing based on it's training material and most artists do not foreshorten a pose the same. We all have different preferences with this kind of image. Art is about the end result, yes, especially for projects and jobs like animation work and character designer, but even in professional settings, an artist doesn't make one drawing for these things. They play and erase and create multiple versions. Clicking generate for an AI images generator will not get you a barrage of similar images, even with the same prompt, you'll receive a barrage of wildly different but related images. Sorry for long post with edit, this is a very complicated subject to discuss and I don't want to come off as elitist because artist don't need to study the fundamentals like I did with school, but learning them does give an artist a greater ability to creat anything they want. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

@@LifenKnight I have used stable diffusion extensively and I can tell you the difference: AI's need extensive datasets to do specific work, and even more training to be consistent. You can't make new concept with an AI only call back existing concepts and awkwardly mash them together. To make something useful and production ready, Say you want to create a new alien species: A real artist needs to draw numerous images of this species and feed it to the AI so that the system can churn out some more awkward images, and then a real artist has to refine them. The way it is made right now it is not a creative tool. It is a derivative vending machine. So even as a short hand you are better off using real photos or learning from the work of real artists with real knowledge.

Unfortunately as an artist who understand the tech, that's wrong. The issue is that the bigger the model, the more they can apply these knowledges, you are talking about ai that runs on consumer grade computer, the ai is learning rules rather than collage. That's easily proven by inspecting what each neuron layer learn, and what you see are lines, shapes and composition. Hands are hard to learn, partly because of the size of inputs during training, part due to the low number of parameters consumer level ai can actually process (but if you had infinite time for training, they will eventually learn). But it's true they don't have concepts of motion, as it's not part of the training. Though model learning motion are starting to appear.

The AI debate has me searching out real artists' Redbubble accounts and commission info. It's a tiny thing, but even buying a few bucks worth of stickers can help keep this industry alive. Even if we can't stop big companies prioritizing profits over quality, we can still support the arts in our own small ways.

I think something people forget is an artist has an inherent style unique to them regardless of what style they actually draw in, like handwriting. When people ask "how do you find your style" they are met with "it comes to you in time" cause it's actually fucking true. A style is a synthesis of your interests, your experience as a human, and the unique development of your personal motor skills. "Then how do pros work on a show that has a style that isn't theirs?" A pro got REALLY good at masking their own unique "art tics" and also has a very very specifically designed model sheet to work from (goes over line weight, does and donts, subtle shape language, even down to the fucking severity of curves). My style has developed just naturally over time and I hate drawing fanart cause it never looks like what I want it to look like cause I can't really break from my motor skill decided style. This has actually been an issue for me professionally as I was a background artist on a kids show for a month before I was let go and I had a lot of personal art tics that got in the way of the style of the show. Y'know those Sakuga superfans that can pick out an animators shot cause of how the lines feel or the shadows are drawn or even down to subtle choices in extraneous lines? Yeah, that's the core motor skills of the pro bleeding through the style of the work itself. The way shows (especially good ones) stay consistent is they have a very talented animation director (as well as a character designer and director) who gives notes that massage drawings into the correct style. It is not as simple as "artist sees art, steals wholesale" there is ALWAYS a tiny piece of whatever human made whatever thing in all aspects of current animation, even if it's really hard to see. I can guarantee you, the animations I do for work are uniquely mine in comparison to my coworker on the same project cause I have slightly different sensibilities in timing. Anyone who supports this shit, give us respect cause god knows the fuckers at the big studios signing our paychecks don't.

--The most reasonable future of Ai animation that I see is where Ai tools are used to assist with in-between animation. This would mean it is trained only on the art the animators produce, and that the training data set is not only unavailable to the public, but also unavailable to the animation studios. While this could allow smaller teams of skilled animators to produce works which would otherwise be too time-consuming, this change would not come consequence-free, as you've mentioned in your video. --The training data set should not be available to animation studios firstly because the owners of an intellectual property should be the creators of that property, not a publisher or any other entity. This is not just a problem in the animation industry. But secondly, animation studios have shown 0 reason for us to believe that they would not abuse the data to cut artists out of the process of producing animation. --The bigger issue really is the animation job market as a whole right now. At the time of writing this, animation work means being underpaid, having terrible benefits and working absurd hours. It should be illegal for employers to abuse any field of expertise this way, because it is amoral. When laws are not moral, it is our duty to try to change them.

Really, why is automation being used to replace things that bring meaning and joy to our lives? But not to replace the soul crushing jobs that are bullshit and don't need to exist or need a serious improvement to their work environment? Oh, right. I remember for years, boomers used to think being an artist of any kind wasn't a "real job", whatever the hell that means. May it be video game industry work, music industry work, or animation industry work, none of it was seen as valuable by weird old farts taking art for granted. The strange part is that a lot of chuds or far right folks are venerating ancient art from long ago and hate most art you see these days from anyone. But it's like, what are you expecting people to do? Endlessly recreate the same realism or recreation of real life over and over again for all forms of media? Oh, wait, that's what AI would do but for art that isn't just realistic or focused on replicating real life. Without any of the technique you see in drawn art, digital or otherwise. Man, I ask this again: Why is automation being used to replace the things that shouldn't be automated? My answer to that is: Well, we have a culture that is obsessed with overworking itself and thinking doing anything "unproductive" is laziness. Anything that isn't a "traditional job", such as manual labor or service work, is seen as unproductive. We have forgotten how the process of art, and the passion for the hobby itself, IS a part of the human experience and is ultimately still "work" by the very definition of it.

@@syeina i mean a lot of newer anime is pretty shit. Animators and companies have become lazy ever since the popularity of anime exploded. Before it was super popular anime animations had an average higher quality. The quality average in anime has definitely dropped. i still find myself watching older anime because shit is just straight up better in art quality animation everything. Not to mention the annoying 2.5D type of anime that's been coming out constantly. That shit looks ugly as hell. You sound like a fanboy who can't notice the flaws currently going on with anime. If you can't notice the lack in quality lately with modern anime, then sorry to say you're just a mindless consumer. "Just consume product and get excited for next product" Thats literally you.

Well this aged well after Sora came out 11:55 I don't think we are that far away, guys its an exponential curve, why is that so hard to understand, think about how long it took to get to where we are now with any technology, the technology will get twice as good twice as fast. Some people may get upset, but everything I've said is true, technology is exponential and its advancing faster than people seem to realize, that's not an opinion there is literal analytical data that has been expressed graphically that proves this. Instead of throwing a sissy fit about our jobs, which isn't just animation that's in danger but pretty much the whole job market will be soon, we should be figuring out what we are gonna do after we all lose our jobs. Because stopping AI is unrealistic guys, Corridor trained one by themselves a year ago, and it's gotten to the point to where I can now train one by myself on a computer with a fairly decent GPU that isn't connected to the internet. The AI has been released to the public, you can't put the cat back in the bag. This is proven by the development of open source LLMs such as Llama-3 which has basically caught up to the tech giants OpenAI/Microsoft's GPT-4 and it's made by the public, not some private company or public company with a board of directors making all the decisions about the development of the product. AI is like the discovery of fire, its a tool, fire isn't morally wrong or morally good, it depends on how its used. Fire can be used to cook meals for a village, or burn the whole place down, it's the intent that makes a difference here. So in my opinion, using AI isn't bad if the intent behind it is pure. If you're using AI to save money as an entity that can afford not too, then that seems bad, but if you are using AI to express yourself and share you stories with the world and you don't have the means to produce what you envision without AI, then I see no reason not to use it.

as an artist who's supposed to choose universities now and wanted to pursue animation, seeing the state the industry is in makes me very discouraged to choose that path. as if the labour standards weren't dog shit enough already.

AI art lack the human touch of an artist, and thus will look incredibly creepy and uncanny.

18:00 - 18:25 As someone who developed machine learning models for their Graduate thesis after studying ML and data science for the better part of 3 and a half years, I came to a similar conclusion as the one stated in the listed time window. That said, there is still cause for fear, as unreasonably far off as the prospect of that fear is. The problem is not that machines cannot think organically and generate the same outputs humans can. Fundamentally, if we consider humans to just be extremely complex machines, it is very possible for a future computer to have the memory capacity, processing capability, and complete data set to effectively mirror a human at the state at which that data was collected from them. In other words, if you could digitize literally a person's entire life experience and create a computer that exactly mirrored their brain chemistry (which is theoretically possible since our neurons are just a mass of electrical signals being fired), then yes, you could create a machine capable of thinking the exact same things. Of course, such a thing does not currently exist nor is it conceivably going to be created any time soon. Judgment Day will probably come first (or maybe this singularity will trigger it). Because this event is so far off, it would be extremely dishonest to ever fathom that human works of art (which by definition are the product of the artist's unique brain chemistry and life experience i.e their current state) could be rivaled by AI-generated artwork. I hope this illustrates how our laws are fundamentally amoral, because instead of just taking a scientist's word for this abuse of both technology and human lives being reprehensible, we have to settle this with copyright laws that are, wait for it, no doubt going to be partial toward the one true god of the world: capital.

Something that needs to be said about artists vs A.I. is that artists may be trying to replicate a style just like an A.I. but for the most part, artists do not have the know-how to achieve what the style requires until they've built up the experience. Ironically, I once spent 2 years of my life trying to learn Yoshiaki Kawajiri's art style. However, despite me figuring out how to make my art feel very much closely influenced by the look, what I needed to learn is probably completely different from Yoshiaki Kawajiri's actual techniques. So, to sum it up: artists don't have the luxury of algorithms. You just have references. Your best bet is to guess the techniques being used and hope you fail upwards.

@@jsuperhalo1 I don’t think AI art is unethical per se. But from a legal perspective, it’s training and sourcing from copyrighted material is troublesome. Leaving open source projects like Stable Diffusion aside, AI is absolutely a for-profit product that needs to extract its content from somewhere. As long as that content is copyrighted, and it’s rightful owners haven’t properly consented or been compensated for it, the entire model seems exploitative to me. The reason artists don’t have to pay to use references, is because it’s impossible to be sure whether someone is looking at a picture to appreciate it, to profit, or anything else. We cannot enforce that. But AIs don’t need the benefit of the doubt because we KNOW the purpose of AI services is to make money, so for-profit AIs that use copyrighted content are completely unethical in my opinion, and there should definitely be legal restrictions in those cases. It’s why I don’t really mind Stable Diffusion as a (supposedly) truly open source project. The moment the team behind Stable Diffusion starts trying to make actual money (which they probably will because training an AI is ridiculously expensive), that’s where we’ll be back to downright unethical, and potentially exploitative. I don’t mind AIs making art “more accessible”. Ultimately all they do is raise the bar for what constitutes actually incredible art, and perhaps put more emphasis into the importance of ideas than pure execution. But I do have issues with companies creating for-profit products by extracting other people’s copyright as raw materials with no compensation, royalties or credits for it, and no opt-out options of future training. It has ultimately little to do with AI (which is just a tool and commercial product) and a lot to do with corporate practices, copyright and intellectual property IMO.

@@jsuperhalo1 it’s not better but because it’s “eh close enough” the end product will not have the same quality. As pointed out, the thumb nail for the AI anime has 6 fingers. Probably a real person wouldn’t make that mistake. And if you have any time playing around with AI, you know that IT CANT HANDS. It’s also straight plagiarism. They copy actual art to train the AI. Never did they ask the artist but ripped right off the internet. That artist had to spend a life time developing the skills to draw it and they took it without a second thought. Think about it, if no one is there to draw OP art anymore, what is left for the machine to use to learn? 2 things will happen, one is that the art will be frozen in time so no evolution can happen in art or two that the ai will start learning on other ai art and it will become the same style over time. Boiling down differences until you get the same Disney style for everything. Anime goes through major changes every ten years or so, imaging if anime style that is used now is that way forever. That would be hella boring. No mob psycho would be made, no beastards, nothing to push boundaries. That’s the long term fear I have. I hope it becomes a tool like photoshop that can make life easier and not replace the hand in control

If you think about it, this all sort of roots back to the idea that art and entertainment aren’t exactly “necessary” in the same way that other products and services can be. People can technically live without artwork, movies, music, so the only standard that makes the industry remotely worth it in the eyes of the owners is how much money it makes them, and how much money is dictated by whether people choose to spend their money on it, for meeting their quality standards: It’s a bummer for the artists and dedicated fans who care about the craft, and as an artist myself it stings quite a bit to know that I can’t ever make a career out of my real passion, but if corporations are appeasing the masses while spending less, that tells them it’s a “good business model,” and thus they need to take that route in order to stay competitive. It’s why movie franchises exist, but also why they cannot last forever. It is easier for viewers to latch onto characters they already know, but after a while the material will run dry and stop being interesting. The movie studios, however, still need to keep creating content that pulls in their audience somehow, and there is no way of telling if original material will do that. Even if it is good, the marketing, business opportunities, and distribution circumstances may not allow it to get off the ground. It doesn’t matter how much people like it or what integrity it has. All that matters is how much they make for the company, to allow them to keep creating more. These skills take several years for people to develop, and so they can’t just switch to a new profession after making a few hits. Art and media companies cannot subsist in a capitalist society, in the same way that food companies and service companies can, without cutting corners and finding ways to save money. Even on an independent level too, creators on KZread can only do what they do because it’s profitable. If there was no money in KZread it wouldn’t be near at its current scale. It breaks my heart that it’s the reality we’ve come to, but it seems that AI is going to be the way that media moves forward from the business perspective alone. If we want to prioritize artistic integrity, then we’ll instead need to support independent artists and creators that follow their hobbies and passions outside of the corporate world. It may mean that these creators can’t create massive movie or show projects on the scale of the average person’s content consumption, unless they get enough support to make it their full time job, but we will either need to settle for less output or less quality. We cannot get both high output and high quality without somebody getting squeeze at the bottom.

I’d say you actually changed my perspective. At first I thought about AI art being “inspired” by other styles like a human artist, but you’re right that unless the AI is basically conscious with its own lived experience, which is not what something like DALL•E is, it’s really just remixing images. I think the technology could be a useful tool for artists who use it with care and effort and most importantly train it on data sets where they have the rights to use the art(although I suppose if the training set is large and diverse enough that the final image doesn’t look exactly like any one artist’s style it may be protected under fair use even if one doesn’t own the copyright for all the art, kind of like your collage analogy, which isn’t what Corridor Crew was doing), but otherwise it probably will just be used to replace artists with tech that can’t capture the care and unique perspective they give to their art. Animators and VFX artists already get paid stupidly less than they deserve by companies that don’t fully appreciate them or the quality artwork they produce, so I think we’re a ways off from AI tools being useful to artists exploring new techniques instead of being mostly harmful and disrespectful to artists in general. I also think we’re a ways off from AI that are conscious enough to make genuine art all by themselves, but how that would affect society is a much bigger question that isn’t really relevant for the type of AI that’s making waves right now.

7:42 Your lack of understanding with respect to how AI trains and works is staggering. AI cannot remember and call upon every image it has seen. AI is created in 2 phases. In the first phase, it learns from its dataset. After the first phase, it can no longer recall anything from that dataset. What it does have is impressions of that information. It is akin to waking up from an emotionally vivid dream, unable to remember what happened but still being struck with the emotions (I hope this is relatable, because it happens to me a lot). Even an artist cannot copy their OWN art style. Just drawing the same piece with a different frame of mind will effect linework and shading, so how could an AI just be robotically copying when it isn't even drawing the same subject matter? Structurally, the way AI makes connections and learns is entirely analogous to how your own brain works at the lowest level. There is no special sauce that makes a human artist learning from another's art any better or different from when AI does it. It's one thing to be a Luddite; it's another to be an uninformed Luddite. Also I believe that your application of the court ruling about an AI generated comic is wholly inappropriate. Corridor did not use AI to apparate a product from the ether. They applied an AI filter to original and very much copyrightable footage. This process, by the by, *IS* visua fx. If what you are implying were correct then things like 'The Mandalorian' or better yet that new Nick Cage movie, 'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent', which is half deepfake shots, wouldn't have a copyright, because deepfakes are also AI art.

I just feel like art isn't the place to be concerned about "stealing". Like there are entire genres of art that either are based on or heavily involve taking works of other artists and doing something with it without the permission or approval of the artist. Not to mention many great and important works in art history did take things from other works. Few if any Andy Warhol works where 100% original in terms of him making what's in it, basically all of his most famous and influential works involved taking designs or images other artists made and then adapting them without asking consent. Practicing by taking someone else's work and trying to replicate it to push your own development is something basically every artist has done countless times as they evolved. I think if there's any place the concept of stealing should hold the least weight and be the least taboo, it's art. Art has such an immense history with "stealing" works, designs, images, styles, concepts, etc, from other artists. And largely they aren't seen as wrong for doing it, it's excused as "how art works" or "how the medium is evolved". But because now the stealing is something that challenges the artists this guiding principle that has been a part of art for as long as there has been art is being thrown aside as if it's not the fundamental foundation to the medium that it is. And I'm gonna be honest, the fact that the "automation replacing those in fields of work" discourse has never been more popular or upfront within progressive circles than with this debate regarding artists, and that months into this discourse we are still focused on artists despite the fact that this is a far more pressing and important issue pertaining to manual labor workers, tells me there is a decent level of elitism present. Like I'm sorry, this isn't a new problem, nor are artists the biggest victims to the problem, nor are they the most important victims of this problem, nor are they the most common victims of this problem, and yet the loudness of this discourse exclusively in reference to artists makes it sound that way. I can't really see that as anything other than elitism of artists thinking they are more special and deserving of this discourse than they are.

@@gryph0n55 It sounds like you are actively being vindictive against artists for some reason. Humans learning from the works of other humans is nowhere near the same as a computer hashing out precise bits of pixels from artworks, copying it's traits and compositing it with the works of others in a mathematical model. An artwork's entire creative information is dismantled via software into something easily reproducible by anyone else, and that creative information has a weight of years of hardwork to back it up. Morally nobody should be able to exploit that hard work. People in a skilled field such as art and animation naturally wants to make original innovative works and not steal from others, and mostly do so during their beginner learning phase or if paid to do so. "Stealing" is also very hard for a human, so in a way if someone manages to copy one's style the person can still earn respect (whether that can be used commercially is a different matter). Forgery is also always called out when noticed and stifled. Both due to the natural ego of humans and a field that cherishes skill ensures the "stealing" part of art wasn't a big deal and was mostly self regulated in addition to the copyright laws. Now the problem is non-artists have an innovative way to truly steal, and such people don't subscribe to such an informal code of respect. It's no longer a self regulated industry, and it's understandable artists are requesting protections from the problems of AI from such exploiters. Them being loud about requesting for active protections from AI doesn't take away the voice of other industries such as voice acting, writing, copywriting,coding, journalism etc, so not sure why this specific derision for artists in general from your side. The online art community is one of the most open community that helps anyone out when it comes to getting better at art with so much free content, and the last thing you associate with elitism lmao.

It just takes more time. People in ai generation have already tested this and can reach the same results to have it perfectly ape an artists style from nothing in less then a year.

Game Engines made making video games MUCH easier and ushered in a new era. The pace of AI advancement is frankly unbelievable if you've observed this arena past couple of months. During the transition period, there'd still be a niche for high quality completely human generated artworks / anime but only until it gets outpaced eventually. It is not a question of if, but when. By definition, the progress is tied to model size and hardware advancement. Those two things are progressing rapidly. Since creation of this art is tied to these parameters, it'd follow the same curve, perhaps even a steeper one due to emergence of novel interactions and manipulations incorporated over time by users

E-books have existed for 52 years and paperback is more popular than ever. Anytime a completely hand drawn anime/animated movie/animated show drops it always gets success off on that fact alone, because people crave that still. The human element isn’t going to disappear, even in the most successful scenario for AI, where 100% human drawn animation shrinks MASSIVELY, it still won’t completely disappear. That’s just not how “progress” works.

As an artist, I will say this: AI art is an undeniably groundbreaking innovation that has excellent uses (via referencing and making things MUCH easier for animators/illustrators in general). We should constantly adapt to new technology like this and use it to improve our own work and become more efficient. BUT, it's so saddening to see users blatantly STEAL artists definitive styles and work (i.e., Sam Yang) and pass it off as their own "art." No, it's not like the controversy around photography when the camera was invented. At least during that time photographers sought to make their own creative work. But from what I've seen recently from "AI artists," it's a fucking robbery.

Support short films from 2D Animators coming out of university as well, actively seek out and support independent OVA's, and do what you can to support initiatives against the use of AI generated animation, in the very least until we have more clear legal standing for artists to protect themselves and their works. 2D Animation as a whole is threatened by this, so supporting where you can matters.

One of the things that gets me is that even if the data is collected ethically and animators jobs were protected in some way, there is still the constant erasure of the human effort that goes into creation. This applies to most creative fields, but in this case I'm thinking specifically of the creation of an AI and tweaking it's learning. Someone has to develop the initial model the AI will use to learn and then tweak it to produce desired outcomes. Someone has to clean up the data and put it into a format that the AI can process. And another someone has to monitor the AI's output to try and make sure it continues to produce desired results. But rather than acknowledge this, its framed as 'look at this thing produced without humans' when it very much takes a village, or at least one dedicated as fuck parent, to even make a halfway decent AI. But corpos just want a magic thing to produce a magic money making product so they can have their magic infinite money machine (that's right, it was about capitalism the whole time!). I do think that AI art should exist, but cannot do so ethically under our current economic system, and even outside of it there are a lot of ethical questions to answer. I also think that the agency of AI's, however limited it may be, is both fascinating and worth of it's own sort of respect. But so long as we keep trying to erase humans from the process of creation, and additionally ignore the actual strengths and weaknesses of AI generation in pursuit of the absolute cheapest production costs, it's just fucked.

See the back half of my comment and the end of Geoff's video. Finally, I currently work as a software developer and shit's only getting worse there. This is not because AI exists, but because they are treated like fucking magic money making machines. The moment they're in the public eye, the vast majority of marketing and execs ignore all the human labor and effort that went into them. Again, those jobs may stick around, but that's not the kind of erasure I'm talking about. I'm talking about how we lose track of the fact that a human made the thing, even if it went on to evolve without them. I think back to Mob Psycho II and the convenience store scene. There are people stealing cans of soda and food, and they have no idea how they're created and couldn't do it themselves, but they act like they're entitled to it while shitting on those that make it or forgetting them entirely.
