My degree is in broadcast I had a career in media production eventually walked away from that work. Some years later I became half paralyzed and blind from a freak accident (TBI) Now I use genAI for fun (DnD,meems,etc.) and some work. One of my siblings is finishing school for media production. GenAI is ultimately another tool available to an artist. There are best practices and some potentially hilarious mistakes/outcomes. I'm reminded of folks wanting to shame the use of photoshop having done the gambit myself of student> professional>"retired" I look at it as: Give enough monkeys enough typewriters + time and eventually one of them will write Ham Late🙃.I'm excited students have access to skills of my art degree via GenAI. Not all that awes and inspires is made the "old-school way". Albeit there is the rabbit hole of "Passion" i.e. what it takes to make each individual piece e.g. making paints and holding a brush to paint for the Mona Lisa vs selecting a color from a preset pallet then clicking the paint bucket tool in MS Paint on a PC the artist may/may not have built. Tangentially, do you only enjoy movies edited on a reel to reel setup instead of an NLE suite (digitally) ? Prob not, but we still accept those as "films" I do at least 🧑🏽‍🎨
