Fuck off with that noise.

This ideas that humans are going to be more productive with Ai is such a corporate grift.

Fuck being more productive! Ai is capitalism maximizing productivity and minimizing labour costs.

Ai isn’t targeting tedious labour, the people building these systems are going after art, music and the creative process. They want to take the human out of the equation and pump out more content to monetize at ever increasing rates.

Hayao Miyazaki’s art style specifically has so much life injected into it, that you would have to be incredibly specific to even approach his style.

There’s an instance that stands out in Spirited Away, when Chihiro is putting on her shoes, she taps the toes of one foot against the ground to set it on correctly. A miniscule detail, but one that makes her feel more real. You’d need such an elaborate prompt to make that happen via AI, but thats the kind of detail that he includes in his movies. To him, the thought of having “someone” illustrate that who has never put their shoe on incorrectly and had to fix it is beyond inauthentic. That’s my take. Less about the worry of technology taking over, and more about the technology not understanding the language it’s being taught, because it can’t.

he said that 10 years ago

There were some AI models that could interpolate animation frames, specifically made for animators.

However, all trace of it disappeared and development resources were instead concentrated on generating animations from a few text prompts, primarily made for non-artists like corporate executives and investors.
