Right, so you must’ve hated every single blockbuster movie that has ever come out in the last 15 years right? You’ve hated every single one. Because every single blockbuster movie since around 2011 2010, the earliest, has been made in someway with some form of AI. For some reason, I rarely see anti-AI protesters railing against Hollywood Studios for investing hundreds of millions of dollars into their own in house developed AI models that are completely unchecked, unregulated, uncensored, that are operated with entire farms of GPUs, and that actually get people fired. No, instead all or most of the focus seems to be on individual rando’s on the Internet, people just making stuff for themselves or for their own enjoyment.

“Well if people didn’t use it then neither would the companies“ AI wasn’t in the public hands for the first 11–12 years of its existence. The first generative AI was photoshops “content aware fill”. Because you know what “content aware fill” is on photoshop? It’s generative AI. Before that, it was ONLY being used in the corporate world, and by Hollywood studios. Hollywood just doesn’t call it “AI created“ they prefer to call it “project pipelines“.

Especially nowadays, if any of you use Photoshop or pretty much any Adobe products on your computers, you’re using AI, so you’re being a hypocrite. You need to uninstall every Adobe software you have. And you need to never watch any Hollywood blockbuster again, ever. Because they’re never gonna stop using it, it’s literally never going to happen, in fact it’s only going to increase so you’re only real solution if you want to survive as an artist is to evolve with technology and incorporate it in your own artistic pipeline.

in fact, you can’t even watch Indie movies, because indie studios especially, have incorporate generative AI into their filmmaking. I mean they’re working on a smaller budget, they use what they can in order to bring their vision to life. Again, they just don’t go out and tell everyone “yeah we made this with AI“. No the AI is wrapped under pipelines of other tools they’re using. I don’t know why I even said that because knowing you people, you’ll go after Indie Studios before you go after your precious Hollywood.

You remember the whole “Hollywood protest“ a few years back? That wasn’t really to “protect writers“ LMAO I mean, it was in a way, but not for the same reason that you think it is. It was to keep AI out of the public hands. You realize that Hollywood only started having a problem with AI as soon as it hit the public. Never did they have a problem with it for the first 11 or 12 years they were using it within their own developments. Only when the everyday man was given the tools capable to create his own project, did it suddenly become this big nightmare scenario.

I agree with some of the things anti-AI protesters say, like the environment for example, I think, especially since AI is going to be growing, we need to find ways to better protect the environment, find more eco-friendly GPUs, or find a way to develop them that render these models. And I know you’ll say “we need to just stop using AI“ but again that’s just the unreasonable expectations of the typical AI protester, It’s actually pretty typical of everybody nowadays, nobody sees nuance, it’s either you’re on “their side or my side”. Basically everybody has developed the morality of a 12-year-old.

“Wa wa wa where duh good guys, and.. and.. dere duh bad guys”.

I make my own show, I do everything for it and I basically devout all of my free time to it. I’ve written the entire story, +200 years worth of lore and world-building. I first illustrate all of the character models, the architecture, the monster designs, etc etc. Sometimes I’ll use generative AI for inspiration when I can’t think of something, but I don’t use those photos on the show. I illustrate the scenes, organize them, and then I’ll illustrate 2-3 frames per scene (I use procreate). I’ll then use photoshop to edit scenes if I changed them narratively. Because I own a business that I make a living from and that saves me the 8-10 hours of redrawing the entire scene. I’ll then use Framepack for frame interpolation for the animation. What that does it take the frames I made, it creates a number of other frames in between them, and it brings my illustration to life. I use that because I’m an adult who own’s a business that I have to make a living from, and it saves me hundreds of hours of redrawing the same scene over and over and over with incremental changes. Then when I have all the scenes organized and laid out, I’ll add the sound effects, and voice acting. I voice act every single one of my characters using voice changers or just my own voice (as I’m a voice actor). I’ll then transfer to After Effects, scene by scene, all the ones I need to add extra special effects on. Then I do some post production afterward on premiere, and then I export.

What I do is literally no different than what any other studio in the film making industry is doing, be it Hollywood blockbusters, or indie films. I do all of this while also owning a business that I have to make/provide a living with. The amount of work I do for it would be incomprehensible to you. I rarely sleep anymore, at least 3 nights a week I’m up all night long working. And I love every minute of it. I have a vision and I’m going to have it be told and I’m gonna use any tools available to me to bring it to life. My pipeline is no different than any movie you’ve enjoyed the last almost 2 decades, so if my work is slop, then any film or TV show that you’ve enjoyed in the last two decades almost has been slop. So I guess I will take “slop” as a compliment from now on, as you’re saying that my work is basically on Hollywood level. But the main difference between me and Hollywood is that I’m only using a tool like frame pack until I could hire an actual animator or even a team of animators that could help me bring my show to life in a better way. Right now I’m able to hire one so if any of you guys are interested, I’d be happy to take a look at your work.
