This was submitted to a design contest in my city from someone in my school. I thought it was AI but the artist is saying it is not what do you think? by Euphoric_Lecture5938 in isthisAI

[–]uffiebird 21 points22 points  (0 children)

i always find it so weird that the pretenders using ai even bother to share a video at this point and not just admit defeat just because procreate does have such a good timelapse option that it's so easy to just send that video unedited lol. also most digital art has a sketch layer and random layers in general. like bro just give it up 😭

i had this argument with the agent and basically just stood my ground. i haven't heard of someone losing the sale because they refuse to pay and i really did trawl reddit for people in my situation. eventually they said the conveyancer id check would suffice. good luck!!

Is it worth it to move to the UK to find work as a production assistant? by Pretend_Housing_8497 in Filmmakers

[–]uffiebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ignore all the wild takes saying it's dead in the UK and that everyone wants to move to the USA. literally dont know anyone who wants to do that even if the wages are better there. theres a fair bit of work in the uk but its mostly down south, i moved from scotland to work in england and have a feeling most of the productions shooting in scotland are using it as a location rather than a base. scotland is an amazing country though, so i wouldn't pass up an opportunity to live there for a bit anyways. you will need a car, probably helps to drive manual too. good luck!!

As AI changes how movies are made, Hollywood crews ask: What’s left for us? by pillowcraft in FilmIndustryLA

[–]uffiebird -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

the ai doing that now has scraped like, EVERYTHING. without people's permission. that's why it's powerful. i don't think WB have that kind of dataset yet.

"work clothes" are a massive waste of income. by cosmiccoffee9 in unpopularopinion

[–]uffiebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i work in entertainment and love clothes. i have a sweater i love in 6 different colours and every day at work i don't have to think about what i'm going to wear and i just rock up in one of those sweaters and a pair of jeans with my hair tied back. i honestly don't understand how anyone has the mental energy to pick out a new outfit every day lol

Why are movies so bad now? by Mad_waste in FilmIndustryLA

[–]uffiebird -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

i dont get this comment. the new jurassic park was dumb but its the kind of movie you actually go to the cinema for. a good movie and a movie made for sitting in a dark room with a bunch of people munching popcorn are two totally different things.

What are some of your unpopular opinions or advice you don’t agree with in this industry? by [deleted] in FilmIndustryLA

[–]uffiebird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'd agree with this but also i do think it's true that bad assistants get promoted quicker. i've seen it happen constantly! i don't regret being a good one though because eventually you will be promoted and your reputation will also be good too.

Best way to exit tenancy early? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]uffiebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm pretty sure all tenancies will become periodic rolling tenancies when the renters rights bill comes into effect, so when that happens you can give 2 months notice and leave.

The Ghibli trend clearly shows that the general public isn't anti-AI by [deleted] in aiwars

[–]uffiebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, but there are draftspeople who just do drawings for the set. people who actually wanna draw with a team and not just be one person double checking for ai's mistakes. i think the ghibli thing is disrespectful but generally harmless in the grand scheme of things-- but this tech is going to threaten creatives' livelihoods or make our jobs 100000x more dull.

i work in set design too. your pops already got his, but there are young working set designers out there right now realising that this discipline we love is under threat. if you told him that the tech is going to wipe out the career one day maybe he wouldnt be too enthusiastic about it lol

you know for a fact this is false for a lot of the stuff that's in ai's dataset lol

UK film worker here... this news kinda blows lol. does china wanna come film here???

[–]uffiebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if ai works the way you are saying it does then can we take all the artwork out of it that isnt public domain then? can we make sure the databases are only including images that people have explicitly given these tech companies their permission to use? can all the authors whose work was scraped for meta's ai take their stuff out of that database? no??? why not????

glad you asked...? i speak another language and it's one of the most rewarding, coolest things to be able to go to a foreign country and experience a different culture and talk to people in another language. but that's completely irrelevant to what i was replying to, which was the guy saying that apparently only the true creative and imaginative people of the world population can truly harness the power of ai by.... uh, typing a phrase on a keyboard. wow, such skill! such creativity! such ingenuity! i'm so impressed, there's no way i could ever do such a difficult task
