People, ai is not the worse thing ever. If maintained by the right people. Big statement I know. (So don't let Google, or Meta, or Twitter X obtain a monopoly over it.) Complaining while doing nothing to prevent that, is not helping prevent an ai monopoly.
Also, since someone mentioned artist exploitation, ai would actually reduce exploitation since they wouldn't have to spend hours physically drawing and putting the animation together. Or atleast not as many hours as with previous technologies.
Ai opens up animation to new voices, that wouldn't be able to animate. That can type in specifically the details of their characters. If they even want them drawn in a specific art style, they can possibly put that in the prompt. This is almost starting to look like the Photoshop doomsday all over again. Yet now people be editing photos with no problem.
Ai lets more people create their dream animations, not less. If you support minorities having a chance at jobs, you should also support the potential for more animators having new opportunities to create animations.
Ai also means you might actually get more content of a show made in an official means. If you liked a show, you can literally make fan recreations with ai and bring new life into older favorite shows that been dead for decades.
AI steals jobs from animators, illustrators, writers, and voice actors. It has no place in a creative space.
Pro capitalism regressive take.
Actually, the take was really just talking about preventing monopolies, closest thing to anything about related to capitalism.
I just don't see where you got 'Capitalism regression' from, my comment or from others comments. In this comment thread, the op, is just saying the usual anti ai stance. It doesn't (I don't think) have anything to do with changing anything from capitalism to socialism.
Although having one person almost exclusively using ai, could risk creatig a monopoly for voice actors. But realistically, just don't leave it to one person, the issue is greedy people trying to nickel and dime as much as possible and spending less and less, not the ai tech itself.
"AI steals jobs from lists jobs."
If you want to discuss ideal fantasies, then discuss dismantling the need to hitch artistic talent to survival in a post scarcity world. To dismantling the need to be paid for created art. It's more achievable than stopping capitalism from preying on the utility of low effort profit. Otherwise it's history repeating every other job replaced by machine advancement. Artists are just big mad at ai because it's now their turn to face the chomping maws of endless profit. This is what comes for every job the moment a way is found to automate or do it better. If you dont like it, then push for progressive changes. Otherwise it's just people trying to create a moral issue around AI instead of acknowledging capitalism as the culprit.
Thesis: AI doesn't steal jobs, capitalism crushes all in persuit of efficiency.
