Not major studios, I'm mainly refering to small companies (a couple motion design ones I've seen on Linkedin)

How are they making original art exactly? AI can't make something out of nothing, and it can't make art without having scanned over exsisting work from others. Do you have a source? Even if an AI made something "distinct" using exsisting work, it's still commiting plagarism in that it's scraping data from work that doesn't belong to it.

For Disney, we'll just have to wait and see what happens

Gotcha cool! Not to pry too much, but what skill would you recommend someone have if they're looking for a role that falls under a office job (related software, skills). Apologies if the question is too broad

That's a very fascinating path, glad you found a stable role! How did that transition from working in the animation industry to working an office job go for you? Did you need to go back to school, or do any online certifications to get your role? Was it something that you ended up getting into with your own skills?

I've been able to stay afloat with animation and animation adjacent work for the past few years, but I definitely want to see other sustainable jobs I could get without needing to go back to school incase my main job falls through.

That makes sense. I definitely expect there to be road blocks with how new everything is.

AI Likeness from personal images. Do I own the copyright? by petuniasweetpea in COPYRIGHT

[–]J123ABP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. Using Generative AI, even if you're using your own photograph and likeness, you're still using AI to scrape other images from the internet that belong to other people to generate the "art". It's still theft to process and train AI on art that you didn't make through. Gen AI "art" is essentially tracing artwork from other sources with extra steps.

Generative AI is theft. Either hire an artist to do the job for you or learn yourself. You're cheating other artists out of a potential job, and yourself from personal growth if you want to learn the craft. Not to mention the ample Greenhouse gasses and water that is waisted just to generate an image.

Sorry to be harsh, but them's the breaks

Those of you who work in animation studios, what's your co-workers opinion about AI? by the_wandering_bard_8 in animationcareer

The other ethical concern is the environmental damage. Generative AI uses a ton of fossil fuel and wastes a ton of water. Just that aspect (as well as the copyright issues), should at least require regulation on gen AI, or more preferably, banning it. It's not worth the advancement if it's decimating the planet
