"I'm not ALLOWED to be tired yet." - real thought in my head

IT'S BACK ITS BACK ITS BACK!! angleref.com

If I had a bunch of money I'd work with MORE artists, personally. And/or indulge in being able to take my time making whatever I want.

Gotcha lol There's unfortunately not many good reasons to break out tap shoes to do beginner-level tapdancing

Soderbergh jumping in is clearly him taking the same attitude towards it that he had toward making movies with phones. But it's just not the same thing. Phones put filmmaking in anybody's hands while GenAI is cost-prohibitive and removes any involvement in the artistic process.

Some people seem to do it just because they want to be on the "cutting edge," but technology for technology's sake is nothing. New toys don't make you a better or more interesting artist.

What's weird about people with money defaulting to GenAI is that it's cool and fun to work with cool artists, it's exciting if someone can bring something you wouldn't have anticipated to a project. Throwing that away for zero artistic gain is so dumbfounding.

I don't know what this means

I assume this is part of my brand of autism, but people dancing just for fun feels fake to me lol I understand dancing as an artform, I even have some training in a couple forms of dancing. But i don't understand folks just doing it as a social thing.

I am not even remotely defending LLMs. ChatGPT is worthless as a tool, horribly inefficient and wasteful, it's shit at everything it's being sold as and certainly shouldn't be used to do any research. My only point is about assigning blame to people who had nothing to do with the problem.

I'm getting increasingly sick of people seemingly just looking for the most socially acceptable excuse to be an asshole to others.

"It's good actually to lash out at the first person I find" is quite a take. Just being angry about the right thing isn't enough. Some folks need to ask themselves if they want to do something good or if they just want an outlet for their anger.

A few have already. People are responding by asking them to explain things they had nothing to do with or just accusing them of lying.

You don't have to support the movie, to be clear. I already can't bring myself to financially support anything from Paramount right now. But yelling at people who almost certainly had no idea about the thing you're angry about doesn't actually help anything.

And I'm not saying anybody should give the movie money, I already wasn't going to because of Paramount.

Genuinely confused at what you're talking about. We know that someone made a shitty note on a character design using a shitty method they shouldn't have used. The animators could not have reasonably known about that or done anything about it.

People can't hold a line they didn't know existed

The director, producers, etc. Not animators who had no idea some person left a note citing ChatGPT on an incomplete character design they certainly never saw. People grilling the first person involved they find isn't helpful or good.

I get that fans are frustrated by the ChatGPT thing in the Avatar slide, but maybe don't lay that at the feet of people who had nothing to do with it and worked really hard doing work they're proud of. And certainly don't accuse them of lying with zero evidence.

Gonna be real: it's deeply shitty to aggressively demand that artists who worked on a large project guarantee to you that nobody who touched the project used AI. They can't know that and they're not responsible for that. They can only know things within the scope of their own job.
