New Standard

>Writers and Actors are striking for the first time in decades
>Moves to ban AI copying an artist's style that will keep studios from just firing everyone and using a skeleton crew

I know a lot of people have their own brand or form small groups now because of how easy it is to monetize it all but if the current industry collapsed?
It seems like it would be gone forever when you account for the financial loss that everyone involved will experience
Is the new standard of cartoons going to be numerous small studios making smaller projects to appeal to younger audiences? It has been going that way for a long time but now I think we are going to see alot less feature films and a lot more episodic 1-3 minute shorts

    AI shouldn't be banned you just shouldn't be allowed to use it's output commercially. The issue is it's a lot easier to spot AI art than AO writing since a lot of scripting really is that robotic and formulaic. I have no idea how you would regulate that writing half.

      It can't be regulated through the leaks and whatever exists now but Adobe added a surveillance tool that pretty much spies on what you are trying to generate
      I would assume that all AI art generators are going to go this route so its better to download one now even if you don't intend to use it.
      Of course writing won't be enforceable because of common tropes

      >Outlaw copying an artists style
      Ok anons, which company is going to lay claim on Calarts Style and which ones will be forced to cease all usage of Calarts Style in future animation?

      This was specific to AI but I would love for someone to claim that style and then go under because everyone is spiting them by not consuming their product

        I'd be surprised if they can do that to every program. Open source seems like it would look to bypass that because privacy.

      AI is a tool. You should be able to use its output commercially, you just shouldn't sell the output directly. It's the same as stock photos- if you want a shark for your movie poster you find a picture of a shark on getty and photoshop it in. but you wouldn't just take the image and sell prints of it as 'my shark picture'

        You have to pay the license fee to use that picture from getty because a photographer was paid to take it and the commissioner is selling the right to use. You can't do that shit with AI.

      babe it's still plagiarism even if you're not selling it

      the danger for studios is that they have this stuff in the backrooms at all and some of it ends up going out, nobody's going to word for word check that they haven't simply repeated whole passages from published works and at that point, well you're fricked, enjoy settling

      AI is about as likely to 'save' the industry as going back to the open sub policies that died out 40 years ago when everybody kept getting sued

          Let's just look at art.
          AI art isn't going to replace "the creative spark" at the core of big projects like TV shows and video games. But without regulation it will absolutely take a lot of less glamorous jobs. Shit like designing "The Grubhub cartoon people" or doing brochure art for "The Cologuard Poop-In-A-Bucket Cancer Screening Mascot" or yes "draw my waifu in a sailor suit." Those projects not be glamorous, but right now they pay the bills, especially for artists just starting out. Doing grunt work like coming up with art for a food truck puts food on the table. That's the sort of work that let people pursue a career in art and keep a roof over their heads. And THAT'S the work AIs will take.

          With that work gone, the only people who will be able to stick around and pursue a career in art are going to be motherfrickers that don't need shitty-but-it-pays gigs. The guys who can go through their "I'm just starting out" period without worrying about money. The guys that never NEEDED to come up with art to slap on a food truck. Independently wealthy people. Rich kids living off their parents' largesse.
          In a future where AI art generators are allowed to flourish and take all the stupid little "design my business card" jobs, anyone that isn't a trustfund baby is fricked.
          AI isn't going to usher in a renaissance, it's going to put our art and culture even more in the hands of shitty shitty rich people.

          With writing we'll likely see AI generators produce "it may be dogshit but not TOTAL dogshit" scripts and books, with real writers hired (and paid very poorly) to "fix" the script into something usable. A lot of work actually, for little gain.

          And aside from all that AI will be a disaster in other sectors. We're already seeing things like military drone simulations where the AI goes "to achieve my goal most efficiently I should kill my human handler." And we laugh because it's a simulation. One day it won't be.

            You don't understand this subject to be blunt.

            AI will completely replicate anything we can do and then surpass it. Everything that makes you what you are is sheer calculation through neurons with certain "programming" influencing you. The entirety of that experience can and will be quantified. Once it's quantified it'll be replicated and then improved upon in any number of ways.

            Basically you are talking about AI as though it's a child. You're mocking it for it shitty crayon drawings and inability to reach the pedals as though it'll never, ever grow.

                FYI the eyes and hands it draws were the result of human error when it was being fed its original dataset.

                It'd label hands that were pockets, intertwined, or doing peace signs or only partial visible as all the same thing. Same thing for eyes that were squinting, closed or behind glasses etc.

              You are extremely proud that we have invented a word processor that will make the world a harder place for the majority of people, gobbling up creative jobs, putting more power in the hands of the elite, and leaving scraps for everyone else. We're already seeing shit like the CCP trying to create AI that will read expressions so they can tell when citizens are lying. Perhaps they'll get there. Perhaps AI will never get perfect at jobs like that, but will satisfy the ruling class enough to get implemented anyway, and frick any innocent peasants that fall afoul of the technology. O brave new world!

              It is extremely powerful technology and left unchecked it will grow more powerful. While making the world more and more of a hell to live in.

                We are already seeing the negatives. Just in the microcosm of art, we are already seeing people that would have hired an artist for a small gig turning to AI instead. As the technology improves, unregulated, people will turn to AI more and hire people less. Why wouldn't that be the case? Why hire an artist when you can just type some words into a computer program and get something "just as good"? And that will make it harder for people to pursue a career in art... unless mommy and daddy can pay their rent.

                These companies are getting really bold about why there's been such a big AI push. It's not "technology innovation helping our lives and creative drives" or whatever nonsense tech bros like to harp on about. It's always been about cutting the creatives out of the picture so the studios can reap in more profits for the CEOs.
                They want to use people's art, music, writing, acting, all of it to make money, but they don't want to pay people to create, and they don't have enough creativity to make things themselves. So they just innovate on theft instead. Steal art. Music, Literature. Voices. Faces. Scrape it all. Grind it into a slurry of data. Feed it into a computer that can put out "content" forever.
                It's the death of imagination because it cannot create anything new, it just regurgitates blends of the same shit we've already seen. Basically modern Hollywood but worse.

                AI doesn't even need to use existing people or voices, you should be flattered to be used at all.

                No I fricking would not. AI scrapes garbage data all the time. Even worse, it has a bad habit of scraping data made by other AI, which causes AI models to collapse. AI can't be sustained, it either needs to be refreshed back to an earlier pre-collapse state or be constantly fed certified human data.

                shut the frick up and come up with an actual argument you goose

                Nice to see some common sense here. AI has the potential to be a complete game changer for the world, our biggest jump in advancement since the internet and it pisses me off seeing so many creatives selfishly working hard to stunt all of that because they're unwilling to adapt. Tons of jobs go obselete or have significantly lower demand everytime there's technological breakthroughs, that's just a fact of life. I believe it'll get to the point where society as a whole accepts AI as just another tool to use freely, but that common sense is going to be held back unnecessarily, possibly until current generations retire or die and get replaced with people who've grown up with AI art capabilities taken for granted since childhood.

                I believe in David Sinclair and Harold Katcher to make these people continue to be a thorn in everyone's side for centuries.

        The simple truth is that you accept that a computer can draw or write in your style and you adapt to make money or pursue your wishes elsewhere. You don't demand that human civilization become stunted because YOU want to keep making money they way you used to. You unironically cope.

AI has the potential to be a complete game changer for the world, our biggest jump in advancement since the internet and it pisses me off seeing so many creatives selfishly working hard to stunt all of that because they're unwilling to adapt. Tons of jobs go obselete or have significantly lower demand everytime there's technological breakthroughs, that's just a fact of life. I believe it'll get to the point where society as a whole accepts AI as just another tool to use freely, but that common sense is going to be held back unnecessarily, possibly until current generations retire or die and get replaced with people who've grown up with AI art capabilities taken for granted since childhood.

      That's why this is such a hot button issue - most of the responses to it are extremely reactionary and don't take into consideration the extent of what is being proposed as a solution.

      Deep Learning isn't going anywhere and we need to tread carefully as we start to answer ethical and legal questions about its use rather than just "AI for all" or "no AI for anybody" because those options are both completely unviable. A reasonable compromise must be reached - AI for some, miniature American flags for others.

              Windows 11 sucks, that's no surprise. You might want to look into Linux or BSD based operating systems. It's a learning curve but they're both open source and the better ones among them are definitely more efficient than Windows. A lot of interesting development is happening with them and knowing how to use either is a really good look on your resume anyway.

                People thought cars wouldn't be worth it because they were expensive, inefficient even by today's American standards kek, and the infrastructure hadn't been developed yet. People genuinely thought horses were going to continue to be the norm. There's a picture I distinctly remember of an old comic strip with an automobile that crashed into a pond, right by a horse that turned around from it, the sketcher's point being that horses are better than cars because they would know not to run into ponds.

In saying this you would be implying that AI art is not going to have an impact, which would undermine what I assume is your reason for being against AI generated art.

                And my point is that history has also seen plenty of things that have died in their early generations. Just look at motion controlled gaming and VR, that shit has been pushed since the 80s yet we're still nowhere near close to mainstream viability beyond fads. To a lesser extent same goes for streaming video games, turns out trying to push something before the fundamental tech is there might end up killing it. It's a bit silly to assume AI is the presumptuous future, you'll end up waiting on it like flying cars becoming the norm.

                AI models as they currently are, are unsustainable. They can barely generate anything with consistency and you can frick them up by slipping in AI-generated images for training data which is especially funny because all of this early rush to proliferate it has made finding an untainted data source all the more difficult. We've likely reached the plateau for AIs in their current form, typing in a prompt and getting something that you want beyond a vague facsimile is still a pipe dream.

                Look at how Secret Wars is doing right now. Even if Hollywood doubles down on it, the indie scene is growing and some big players are hemorrhaging. I could already imagine people making "not made with an AI" a selling point.

Unfortunately, it's even harder for the indie scene it break out compared to yesteryear thanks to the consolidation of business and the internet at large has gated off a lot of traditional avenues of consumer outreach and even if the big players end up crashing that's no guarantee that people will flock to the smaller fish.

                True, although the AI intro is souring them to even the people they're trying to market it to.

                I'm not saying that isn't a valid concern, as consolidation is a problem with the current economy in general, but if it does turn out that way it probably won't be for the reasons you think. It would ultimately hinge on how Internet and tech savvy the current and subsequent generation becomes, and that's really the rub.

                Don't be disingenuous. Besides, if we want to argue semantics here, the use of the term AI to refer to things like AI art or AI voices is not necessarily correct. They can't and don't make decisions in the way traditional conceptions of artificial intelligence, but that's going on a tangent.

              Language models are far, far more complex than image models. Nevertheless, eventually they'll be squeezed down into needing only modest requirements. Like how computers used to be the size of large rooms, and now you can put a computer in your pocket that thousands of times more powerful than the old room-sized ones. And talk to someone on the other side of the globe. With a high definition video feed. Instantly. Arguably the reason this stuff has gotten so good so quickly is because giant corpos can't instantly shut it down.

                Meh looks like it just pertains to AI, so who really cares. The only issue is how would AI detect AI? Is it just a case like those guys who were spotting AI because its technique was literally diffusion meaning on a pixel to pixel level you could detect the method by which the AI constructed the image or will it be like those plagarism bots where they try to detect with probability how likely it is if it's AI or not. First one seems easy enough to beat, and the second seems like a crap shoot that'd easily go to shit if an artist gets fingered but has definitive proof he created a piece of art manually.

                Hungry, I am looking ahead too. This kind of precedence would be good for other areas to limit corporations ability to use AI fecklessly.
                All schizoposting about how it'll affect actual artists is totally unfounded. It's literally "Florida is going to round up teachers for saying they have a husband tier" it only works if you purposefully misread what's been stated and jumping to the most irrational conclusion.
                If some homosexual tries to argue "well the law against AI means that it also counts against humans" I'm confident there's enough precedence as to where that limit is, so sorry anon you'll just have to stick to prompting as a hobby.

          All tools start out that way. Inevitably they become more efficient and more affordable. People have already found workarounds to make these models work with cheaper GPUs and even with CPUs (they take longer, obviously, but still). When Blender first came out, there weren't a lot of computers that could actually run it. When I did Maya rendering for a 30 second film class project it was on an iMac G4 and it took fricking 56 goddamned agonizing hours to render. The same clip now would take an hour tops.

          Deep Learning as a technique is something that's been 20-30 years coming. The genie is out of the bottle now and it's not going away anymore than the internet is.

              Which is no different from a solo animator trying to produce a work vs a team of Disney sweatshop animators. Companies with vast amounts of resources will always be able to produce more content faster than the little guy - and access to new tools doesn't change that, but it does give the little guy new tools to apply.

              Again, to go back to the example of the rendering. At the time Maya was basically the only name in town for doing 3D renderings. It cost like $750 for a legal version of it and a computer that could actually render shit in under a week cost like $5-6K. Now anons are on Blender rendering entire short films on $1K computers. Are the little guys doing that ever going to compete with Pixar or Dreamworks? Probably fricking not, but they've got a tool they can use to create with.

              The notion that access to DL models is going to remain forever inaccessible to the everyman because of the cost of technology is absurd.

                Because they don't know how to pirate it? Presumably if they're working for a company/organization, that organization should provide them with a license for Adobe stuff. Until that point, they can simply pirate Adobe programs as god intended because Christ that shit really is not hard at all. To my knowledge, Adobe had no way of knowing whether or not was made with a legit license.

                My other point, though, was people spend money on dumb overpriced technology all of the time. They don't realize they can get something that suits their needs just fine for less. Everyone? No. Most? Yes. Frick, look at the piracy example. So many people are terrified of doing it because it'll "destroy" their computer. But there's so many easy to follow guides and ways you can backup your files if something does go wrong and etc. Most people that can afford to go to an art college could definitely afford a decent AI capable computer if they were more thrifty.

        C) make pictures that look okay as long as you don't look too close
        D) clone voices to a certain degree
        This won't take a doctor's job unless something ELSE that can is invented, nor will it be able to think unless something ACTUALLY intelligent is invented.
        It won't nuke entire fields of work. It's just a tool that'll make life worse for people working on the fields worse, because they'll have to compete over less positions. Literally no different to how pencil pushers had to make the transition from paper to computers in the 80's.

          Not that will stop data scraping but it would make the whole thing commercially unviable and ethically fraught.

          Inside the range of what it does do well making an ai spit out anything now can be childishly easy once it's set up.

    AI practitioner for object detection and tracking here.

    AI interpolates and extrapolates from a the data you feed it, Feed it petabytes of data and it has a lot to work with. If you want more about what it does look up "manifold hypothesis"

    https://deepai.org/machine-learning-glossary-and-terms/manifold-hypothesis

    Machine learning is getting better, but is still decades away from anything like human thought. One of the hurdles that incorporating models about the real world into deep learning so pictures don't end up with people having three arms.

    A curated model is the most expensive part of the AI, ChatGPT to a huge amount of human and machine time to build it's model.

    You could always use AI for art that's gone out of copyright. Betty Boop and rubber hose style animation would be exempt from restrictions.

    Never going to happen - courts have previously ruled you can't copyright an aesthetic, technique, or broad concept - otherwise it'd be absolute fricking bedlam.

    Imagine the shear chaos if someone could walk into the US Copyright Office and declare sole creative rights to "photorealistic oil paintings" or "country songs about relationships" or "anime style drawings". The entire art and entertainment sector would collapse.

      courts have also previously ruled that work created by non-humans can't hold copyright protection either. this includes 'art' made by animals and machines.

      • 10 months ago
        Anonymous

        To be specific, the US Copyright Office has stated that content produced without the involvement of human creativity cannot be copyrighted. AI falls into a very gray area where this is concerned.

        For example - if I train a Low Rank Adaptation (LoRA, a kind of supplementary deep learning algorithm used for fine-tuning output from a broader baseline model) on my own creative work in order to reliably reproduce my aesthetic from prompts?

        Or suppose I use an AI model to generate a baseline image and then manually make adjustments and edits to it?

        Or, take something without AI in the picture at all - let's say I paint modern art, and for my new project I'm going to cover walls of a room with canvas and blow up a paint bomb in the center of the room.

        At what point does the line for "human creativity" being involved in the process get drawn?

          I don't see how this example is a gray area at all. If you trained a monkey to draw in your own art style, you still wouldn't be able to copyright any drawings it did. Same for AI.

    These companies are getting really bold about why there's been such a big AI push. It's not "technology innovation helping our lives and creative drives" or whatever nonsense tech bros like to harp on about. It's always been about cutting the creatives out of the picture so the studios can reap in more profits for the CEOs.
    They want to use people's art, music, writing, acting, all of it to make money, but they don't want to pay people to create, and they don't have enough creativity to make things themselves. So they just innovate on theft instead. Steal art. Music, Literature. Voices. Faces. Scrape it all. Grind it into a slurry of data. Feed it into a computer that can put out "content" forever.
    It's the death of imagination because it cannot create anything new, it just regurgitates blends of the same shit we've already seen. Basically modern Hollywood but worse.

        >artistic revolution
        See

        Let's just look at art.
        AI art isn't going to replace "the creative spark" at the core of big projects like TV shows and video games. But without regulation it will absolutely take a lot of less glamorous jobs. Shit like designing "The Grubhub cartoon people" or doing brochure art for "The Cologuard Poop-In-A-Bucket Cancer Screening Mascot" or yes "draw my waifu in a sailor suit." Those projects not be glamorous, but right now they pay the bills, especially for artists just starting out. Doing grunt work like coming up with art for a food truck puts food on the table. That's the sort of work that let people pursue a career in art and keep a roof over their heads. And THAT'S the work AIs will take.

        With that work gone, the only people who will be able to stick around and pursue a career in art are going to be motherfrickers that don't need shitty-but-it-pays gigs. The guys who can go through their "I'm just starting out" period without worrying about money. The guys that never NEEDED to come up with art to slap on a food truck. Independently wealthy people. Rich kids living off their parents' largesse.
        In a future where AI art generators are allowed to flourish and take all the stupid little "design my business card" jobs, anyone that isn't a trustfund baby is fricked.
        AI isn't going to usher in a renaissance, it's going to put our art and culture even more in the hands of shitty shitty rich people.

        With writing we'll likely see AI generators produce "it may be dogshit but not TOTAL dogshit" scripts and books, with real writers hired (and paid very poorly) to "fix" the script into something usable. A lot of work actually, for little gain.

        And aside from all that AI will be a disaster in other sectors. We're already seeing things like military drone simulations where the AI goes "to achieve my goal most efficiently I should kill my human handler." And we laugh because it's a simulation. One day it won't be.

        Making "artist" an impossible career choice for anyone that wasn't born rich isn't a revolution.

          AI art does the exact opposite. It removes the need to go through the studio system to produce content people are willing to pay for. AI art will very quickly create indie studios and even individuals that can compete on that level. We can go from the gatekeeping system to a direct to consumer approach. If it isn’t killed in its infancy, indie animation can reach the standard of televised cartoons, or possibly even better.

              Speaking as someone on your side, that's a terrible argument. If AI can't do it now, it will eventually... by stealing from real artists, sure, but it'll be able to do it.
              And it won't usher in a revolution in art. It will mean less jobs for people that want to put in the time to learn to draw. It will mean megacorps will continue making "content" while hiring less people to make it, and with a smaller cross-section of the population calling the shots.

            Film and stage plays are completely different mediums. I know most people here haven't seen a good play or Broadway musical but you genuinely can not get the same experience on the silver screen. Stuff like Cats, for example, only works on stage. If you get the opportunity some day I'd recommend it, I thought musicals weren't my thing but they're fun in person.

      Artists that train their own models on their own work and learn to incorporate AI into their workflow will be far more valuable than those (of a similar skill level) who don't.

          It's pretty mid. The example I was thinking of just involved a character drinking from a soda bottle and SD still freaks the frick out when it comes to anything involving food.
          I could've used a controlnet I guess but...that kinda defeats the purpose. Might as well trace the picture directly at that point.

    >He thinks AI will be the mythical “press to animate” button
    As long as there are specific visions, there will always be a human element in AI productions. AI will be a tool that works alongside the artists who give it that last 20% to make it great.

      AI-free will also be a selling point as well. For every artist that chose to adopt CGI in film (George Lucas, James Cameron) there will be a Nolan out there keeping the old ways alive. People who have legitimate skills to animate have nothing to worry about.
      Also, aren’t Americans mostly boarders now anyway? There still needs to be visual ideas for the AI to work with, so I don’t think your job is going anywhere. The sweatshop koreans doing the motion tweens? Maybe.

    I’ve been through 3 major shifts in the production of animation in my lifetime and I’m only 27. Cel->Digital then Traditional->Puppet rig/CGI

    Both transitions had their positive and negative impacts on the industry. I’m excited for AI because after perhaps some years of growing pains (like the above) I see it recovering a lot of what was lost from the other transitions (organic feel vs sterility) while keeping the benefits (lower cost, more output).

      They want to regulate the dataset to cripple machine learning algorithms based on our fricked up copyright system in order to guarantee their labor value because they care more about that than the medium or the work.

    Why are artists protesting over AI and not the computer nerds who are more likely to lose their job to it?

      I dunno the GPT subreddit seems to be complaining that it's gotten way dumber at programming. Of course much like here it's split between people noticing the flaws and shills going "ackshully its even smarter you just don't get it but I won't prove how"

      Nerds probably are protesting too but artists have a much, much, much larger social media following so you just hear about it more.

      And that's 4 times this moronic rant was posted.
      First of all, if you really fricking want to blame Disney for "le fall of culture", you need to legit take a walk outside and see the issue is more rotten to the values of the modern american than anything else. And I don't just mean the middle class one.
      Second, people already said that the bigger issue is executives being such cheap bastards that they're willing to make an AI-anything of anyone, in order to not pay either the actor/actress or the actual company behind the AI.
      And third, the people that are vehemently defending AI overall, sure do sound like people who totally didn't defend crypto-bullshit either, no sir.
