Fuck AI

show me four panels made by AI that contain one character who's design doesn't change in any way in a location that doesn't change in any way, in any art style it doesn't randomly change. I know you will, with in a few hours if you understand the software, be able to produce these images and you may THINK they will be similar enough. go ahead and show me, I'll explain to you why it's not useable at all.

I have an entire fucking degree in computer animation. I'm not rubbing sticks together and going "boo hoo this is hard" I was trying to used AI at any point in existing and established production pipe lines. IT CAN'T DO IT. It's a randomizer. it CAN NOT REPODUCE AN IMAGE OF A CHARATER THE SAME WAY MORE THAN ONCE. I don't need almost the same images if you don't look closely. I need EVERYTHING ON MODEL or it breaks the animation illusion. I'm not talking about the shirt changing styles. I mean if you draw round eyes it will give you an inbetween with oval eyes. which breaks the animation. yes. you can get "video" from AI as long as you need a video that's less than 10 seconds long and isn't required to match up to any other existing video. because it CANT DO IT!!! it randomizes everything every time. you can build models for it to work inside of that will MAYBE allow you to get random images that are all in the same general style. but the software can't handle any higher level of specificity or accurate reproduction. I can write prompts down to the post production style, the lighting set up, the textures and dirt maps, I know how to tell it to give me an image with incredible specificity. it STILL RANDOMIZES EVERYTHING EVERYTIME. It's not a tool for art work, it's a random art generator that only works if you want one single image one time because it can't duplicate it's own results. if you want the same image from 10 camera angles. you're going to be disappointed.

I have nothing against you personally, it's just really not able to do real art work. it can't. it takes a bunch of random images and it gives you a random output based on those images. it's not functioning beyond that. it's not capable. if you want to use the artwork to make a comic, or animation, it can't handle the most basic of tasks needed to do so. because that means on model. matching designs and locations. it can't. it's a gimmick. no one is trying to use it in production at all anywhere I'm aware of in the actual animation world. it can maybe give you design ideas, because that task is ment to be variations on a theme and not reproducible results. but that's the end of it's usefulness, and even then it isn't useful because design is the hardest job in the game because you CAN'T just keep pumping out knock off's of other peoples work. you have to have a style that works for you and the production as a whole and a computer can't figure that out. it's just random image generation. that's all it can do.

It's also easier to just program a computer to do these things if you have the knowledge base, in most cases.

We need to recognize what "AI" or at least what is colloquially referred to as AI is: advanced predictive text using machine-learning.

It's a Large Language Model and therefore it excels at language.

Show me any image generator produced—and I mean produced as in no human input except text, not humans touching it up and editing the output—animation that doesn’t look like shit and I’ll consider believing it. Show me someone doing it on camera, stating their intended vision and specific scenes/shots and character designs that they want before they start, and they’re able to come up with something that matches what they set out to do and doesn’t look like shit or have absurd mistakes in it, and then I’ll believe it.

Not once have I seen anything suggesting the people using image generators are engaging in anything except constantly readjusting their expectations based on whatever slop pops out rather than seriously engaging with anything being generated on an artistic level, or having a set vision they want to create.
