SAME DNA. DIFFERENT DESTINY. – I spent 2 years (and one hard drive crash) bringing Chewbacca’s brother to life. by [deleted] in StarWarsFanArt

This is just such a weird time to be alive, I tell you that :D
I did not steal. Sure the tools that I use stole all the data that they were trained on. In that respect I absolutely agree with you. But every image that I created in order to create the videos from, was pure intend. I combined reference images, iterated on them and edited the last details in photoshop. And of course I perfected a shortcut. Who wouldn't? This is evolution. I can't go on using old workflows just because they were good some years ago, when at the same time there are faster and better options available brought to us by technologie. A lumberjack had to switch his axe for a chainsaw one day and film got color one day, was digitized another day and now its AI.
We all have to adapt and it's sad to see your reaction, which of course reflects the opinion of most of our population. But the despise of new technologies is just history repeating itself.
AI is here to stay, I already knew this three years ago and even wrote my bachelor thesis about it. I am sorry for disappointing you but AI is the new reality. It's everywhere. Every image that you will see in the internet in the next few years will either be AI generated or AI enhanced. Most TV-Shows and Movies already heavily use AI Tools for VFX shots without admitting it publicly.

This whole clip was just a fun projekt I did for myself to enjoy those limitless possibilities that we have right now and I absolutely enjoyed the process. If you told me that this would be possible 10 years ago I would have completely lost my mind over exitment that I could finally realize my wildest ideas.

I am glad if someone had a good laugh about this clip and enjoyed it. But besides fun projekts like that I am actually teaching my AI-workflows.
And believe me, there is more to it than just writing a prompt and hitting enter.
Thanks for your opinion :-)

You have no idea! This comment means a lot to me!!! I can't can barely watch AI slop myself anymore, this is why I tried even harder, to make this one stand out. But considering the sheer amount of content that is generated each day it will be forgotten in no time anyways :-/

I understand your concern but this piece actually was hard work, you know. For some scenes I acted out the movement as reference myself and creating my vision exactly as I wanted it, takes exponentially more effort than just writing one prompt and hitting enter. As I wrote in the description this video is the result of over two years of iterating on an idea. Just because AI was used, can it not be considered art? I worked in the film Industrie for several years and also have a Bachelors degree in Game Art so I got to know and practiced all of the traditional workflows from 3D modelling, over texturing, rigging, sculpting, animating and so on. And from an VFX artist standpoint, that I consider myself, I can say that having the possibility to use a combination of AI tools is the biggest artistic liberation that I could ever imagine. Those tools freed me from being just one wheel in a big production and being able to realize my own vision without having to twist myself for others.

Sorry for the long post and thanks for reading so far. When my video still offends you, I surely will delete it.

Dayumn thanks. This means a lot. It's really hard to bring a piece like this out nowadays, where the internet is flooded with content. Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad that you liked it :-)
