The flaws of this experiment (spoiler alert)

I think AI is a great invention that will eventually shape the future of mankind, especially in terms of aiding medical and disability issues. However it should be no where near the creative field as that is where humanity excels.


You are defiantly in the minority, especially as an anime fan to think AI can be good for animation. AI could 100% ruin the future of human creativity with stupid stuff like “AI Art” which is just brain dead how stuff like that has an actual following.

I agree with all the flaws listed, I think doing stuff like this is cool if it’s just you messing around with AI, but this garbage dump was made and published in the hopes of monetary gain. I’m so hoping this project doesn’t take off any further.

@Yuki_Niji
Lol at the "you are in a minority" as if that mattered.

You complain about AI art, but you can't make the distinction between the two. You can spot MOST of them. But you've already seen art made with AI wthout realizing it. In all likelihood, you've also already complained about a REAL artist because you think it was AI.

AI Art can be terrible... just like non-AI art. In fact, this anime isn't the worst one ever made. If you want to have fun, compare it with the lowest of the low.

BUT!!! I agree this shouldn't be commercialized for now. The tech needs improvement.

@Dante012 Bro you’re whole entire counter argument is just made on fabrication and your imagination lmao, there is no need to come back at me after I’m simply just making my own statement while remaining respectful to your own opinions. Im an artist myself so I’m against AI art and animation, simple as that.

Get outta here man. You are a clown if you can’t even just respect others (going against your whole entire bio mental breakdown). Your are here in a community with beliefs and opinion that go against everything the art stands for. You’re essentially walking into a Butchers saying vegan meat is supreme.

Wow there are 2 clowns here. I must have entered the circus

If you took the time to read. I was being respectful, I called them a clown for not being respectful themselves with personal digs while I just have my overall view on the subject (which if you didn’t know, to give your opinion on something someone else said, is called a discussion). If you think AI is good for creative media jobs, then sure go ahead, but one look online will show you that: Yes, you are in the minority, hell one look on MAL can show you that. Anime is literally a media that would die if AI actually took over. Every single person who has worked on your 10 favourite anime would call you a clown. Satoshi Kon is rolling in his grave right now that you have this opinion, yet have one of his works favourited.

@Yuki_Niji Everything you wrote was incorrect. Again. At this point, the only explanation for your behavior is severe mental illness. Nobody in their right would believe, that calling someone a clown is respectful, especially in response to a perceived "dig", that literally doesn't exist. Seek therapy, get medicated, get educated, go outside for once and be better, because right now, you're the equivalent of the schizophrenic hobo down the street who throws his feces at people and hasn't talked normally to a non-imagined person in a decade.

@Yuki_Niji : Dude, what did I say that was disrespectful? "Lol"? THAT'S what triggered you?
Meanwhile, you call AI art "braindead" and OF COURSE you think that is respectful.... Don't get me wrong, I don't mind what words you use, but then don't talk about respect. I didn't insult you directly. Unlike you now.

Anyway.

You say "AI art is terrible", I reply "normal art can be just as terrible" and even point out that the lowest ranked anime shows, made by humans for humans, are even worse than this AI anime show. How is that "fabrication"?

Or maybe you meant my referring to your attacking normal artists thinking they're using AI? Maybe YOU did not do it specifically.... but it does happen.

@Dante012 - Your reply reminds me of a video I watched recently, where someone conducted an experiment presenting people with the work of an abstract artist and an AI-generated artwork, and asked them why one had merit and not the other. Those against AI art debated the artistic merit of the former, arguing that it had artistic merit, while the latter did not.

Then?

They revealed that both pictures were actually AI-generated. Still, the abstract artist is one whose work has been the subject of significant debate about whether it actually possesses artistic merit.

To this?

How many people here in the US and perhaps even other countries like Canada and Great Britain are artists because of artistic merit rather than because they're creating something that appeals to the average audience rather than the snooty artist types? That was the conclusion that the person who is studying AI came to.

And I couldn't help but notice the one they announced as being AI from the start was nicer aesthetically than the one that emulated the abstract artist.

Which I understand, given the issues with scraping copyrighted images without the original creators' consent, as that's definitely a major fair use issue. However, as you said in your reply, name-calling isn't being respectful.

Of course, these same people who resort to name-calling have also bullied a friend of mine who is super creative but physically disabled, and because of that disability, can't render quality art of their characters without AI art, yet wants to share freely what they see in their head in as quality of a manner as possible to those who take the time to read their fanfics.

However, I would also like to point out that they repeatedly bring up AI art in a discussion about AI animation as if they're even remotely the same process.

Me? I've watched a video of Miyazaki Hayao painstaking process of drawing animation completely by hand, and the amount of time and effort it took to get a single project done. I watched as his son took the time to become educated in digital animation drawing, so he could bring the process to Studio Ghibli, bringing it into a new age and allowing the studio to create its animations in a less painstaking manner when possible. To act as if those who care about the craft would use AI unethically is honestly presumptuous and outright ignores the fact that Japan views animation as a cultural art form, unlike here in the US, where it's often treated as a less-than medium.

So, yes, while there are studios like this one, which certainly have a very Westernized view on where AI animation will take things -- aka, a non-animator claiming this frees up animators for non-animation positions, to say this is true for the entire industry in a country where for an artist the ultimate goal is to become a cultural icon for their art? That doesn't make sense, but with Anime and Manga being notorious for overworking their artists to meet pressing deadlines without, if possible, decreasing in quality?

Anyways, those were my thoughts when you brought your point up again, that "normal art can be just as terrible" because it's very true. But then, it seems here in the US, the artistic merit is far more critical than the quality of the artwork, and certain artists are not understanding why they're losing their jobs after producing low-quality work and/or getting so fixated on getting their way that they forget companies can go to say Canada or Great Britian for talent instead. And in the process artists who do care about their fans and the quality of their work are made to suffer.
