when they have no actual skills outside of gaslighting they end up seeing this as the same they see an expert. they can't validate either way correctness and correctness doesn't really matter to them as long as they make money.
Some jobs will be eliminated by AI, new technology wipes out jobs all the time. We needed people to manually connect wires to connect phone calls, and we automated that away.
I'm excited that the tedious technical parts of animation are getting automated, this gives the artists more time to work on the art. We use computer generated graphics all the time, we use digital production workflows, we don't manually paint frames anymore, unless we explicitly choose to for stylistic reasons.
If the animation isn't just right, the artist can tweak it. The art isn't lost because the artist used a modern tool. It's the soulless garbage used by money hungry gouls that will be entirely generated from a couple text prompts, and the result will show it.
There's a huge difference between implementing a new tool into your workflows to cut down animation hours and days to minutes, and delegating the whole artistic production process to the tool.
As an animator? If I can automate some of the extremely tedious in-betweening for things like ruffles on elaborately over-designed magical girl costumes, or background fire, that would be great. But let me breathe life and soul into these characters with my own two hands.
Yeah it's the Jack Welch mentality where they fire a bunch of people to make line go up.
So offer a technology that promises to fire most of the workforce and investors throw money at it thinking "If we put everyone out of a job then line will go to the moon!"
I think this is just another side of the temporarily embarrassed-millionaire, anti-worker, techno-fascist-narcissist, pseudo-libertarian, culture-war propaganda that capitalism has been waging since the 1970's.
All indoctrinated chudds show the exact same distain for all workers, in all scenarios... unless it personally affects them... at which point it's the worst thing in the world. Half of them are so brainwashed they continue bootlicking the oligarchs that fire them; that are directly destroying their lives, families, and communities.
A regular reminder that the AI companies are paying for the majority of the cost of compute, selling tokens way on the cheap.
And they have no idea how to get the production cost down.
This bubble is entirely based on (improbable) futures, and / or the current billionaire agenda:
~ Automating everything possible, so that they can leave the replaced workforce to starve
~ Controlling huge swarms of killer robots
~ Processing surveillance data to root out dissidents and crimethink
For sure this AI bubble is extra fucky wucky. Like, I wish I had the capital (I'm a proletariat sooo I don't) to burn on shorting some of these companies. Not that I really know how to do it properly and it's volatile and unless you wanna end up owing lots of money you can't cover you have to start with a lot since you're making very hard to foresee bets and some will not pan out.
Like, at some point this bubble will explode, nothing is really propping it up. There's not enough actual demand, the artificial demand there is won't stay forever and even the small amount of real demand isn't going to be there when companies start paying the actual cost for these services instead of it being subsidized. Almost all the money being poured into this "AI" (ie: the fancied up LLMs who's capabilities the tech bros keep on lying about) is going in a circle - it's actually madness.
It's absolutely a house of cards, but betting on a collective realization that's going to implode a big part of our economy is hard because people desperately want to believe the illusion. Sooner or later reality will come knocking and the harsh truth will come to be.
I do think it's going to make 2008 look like a joke but I guess we're going to have to crash the stock market like it's 1929 before our government decides to (once again) reign in Wall Street and this bullshit. It's like we all lost our collective minds or something, as if there wasn't a reason for the glass-steagull act to exist. Hell look at what's happening with our food supply as we've been gutting the FDA and USDA and EPA inspectors and relaxing regulations and constantly looking the other way when these big agri businesses literally shit up our food.
It's gonna be bad. when 2008 happened, the houses were still worth something the next year.
no one's gonna buy up all the datacenters openai and anthropic are circle-jerking from nvidia and the tech-lemmings driving the ship at meta, goog, amazon etc.
and there's more than a trillion fucking dollaroos invested already. lol fuuuuuck
I think that ship has sailed, much the way we use google as a verb for websearch even though Google Search has long lost the honor of being genericized. (I still intentionally use websearch)
LLM generative processing as a service (id est, selling compute) is a failing business model at least for common private use cases. The only way the buildout makes sense is to sell it to governments at gouging prices. And we're in a sorry state when the economy is propped up on government contracts in the service of authoritarian regimes.
It'd be a bit better if compute was being used to facilitate libraries and freight, but instead its surveillance and armies.
They believe they're better than everyone else because they're wealthy. But if someone can do things they can't, that ego doesn't like it much. Removing that uncomfortable feeling in a high priority for the rich.
it's always funny reading posts by "AI advocates" like this because none of them actually work for any AI companies. they're just linkedin fanboys of it. wannabe middle managers.
The irony, of course, being that middle management is a category of job much better suited to being replaced by AI than actual creative productivity is
Chuds love AI because they think every artist is a blue-haired liberal. The thought of those liberals losing their jobs brings great joy to the chud.
Chuds vote time and again against their own interests. They do so to "own the libs," personal consequences be damned. As long as a liberal is perceived as hurt, the chud will support AI.
There was a leopardsatemyface town where the touring politician made fun of poor people because they couldn't buy food and the poor conservative town LAUGHED at themselves and then lost a hospital and supermarket.
I'm a 25yr software engineer. I use the latest claude everyday. It's garbage, slings slop 95% of the time, and requires non stop correction in nearly everything it does.
I suspect the ones who are, were already programmers.
I've had some success taking our main windows app and converting it to a server with a Flutter front end.
Mostly stuff that I already knew how to do but couldn't be arsed because it's a lot of work to keep it all in sync. Break it down into actual tasks and Santa Claude stands half a chance. I've never written a line of Dart.
I'm also absolutely certain there's a limit to how far this approach will get me. The old the first half of the work takes 90% of the time. The second half also takes 90% of the time.
I wouldn't call myself a vibe coder (or a coder at all I'm pretty rusty and wasn't killer to start) but I've used some Gemini and copilot to help with some VBA scripting. You just gotta walk it in and keep on iterating and telling it what was messed up and give it the error.
It usually will get close or even right eventually but also I ended up just bring up some official documentation to sort some things out because the LLM believed its own bullshit so hard I couldn't get it to stop hallucinating syntax even when I told it over and over it was wrong.
Which is hard to tell at first glance when it looks right but it is just slightly off or maybe it's trying to use a non existent "built in" function. I definitely learned some valuable lessons about AI in those small exercises though.
I would say that like anything else it's a tool, and honestly LLM for writing some boilerplate code or getting something down that's close (or even pseudo code) is useful. Would never ever trust it on its own and it may not even speed up your workflow but it can be helpful if you're unsure what to do or how to approach something.
What you can never do is trust the output from the start. You can never just hand your brain off to the machine because it doesn't actually know anything. I do wonder if the "efficiency" gain is even actually happening or if that's mostly just a collective delusion fueled by the corpo overlords. At any rate anyone doing actual vibe coding isn't going to get shit done because the code simply won't work or will break in fun unexpected and unknown ways.
Just stop wasting time/money on Claude. If you already know what you're doing, use a super cheap model like DeepSeek Flash with thinking off to generate the code you want.
There is absolutely no reason (IMO) that a skilled SWE should ever need a model like Opus.
They seem to hate anyone who does anything that requires an education, and love AI making those people homeless and poor and letting any idiot replicate what they did even badly, because they've felt they were looked down on for not having any education.
No AI could ever match the creative genius of Korean animation studio.
Which is why there's a clear progression for art getting significantly better over the centuries. It's not because artists became more talented, it's because instruction was available.
I don't think art requires practice alone for all people. I spent a long time trying and still never manage to make a stick figure where all the lines connect where they should.
That's a good question. I think maybe we as a society tend to underestimate bears. They've shown that they're often capable of getting in to trash containers specifically designed to keep them out, and their skill in avoiding racist park rangers in order to make off with pic-i-nic baskets.
And the most annoying part is, even Nvidia isn't even saying it'll do that.
All of the AI based character animation stuff has been about getting characters to move realistically in dynamic cases that your artists couldn't and weren't even trying to account for.
People have been using machine learning for this for a long time. It's a great advancement, but the ability to make a character crab walk over a bridge doesn't help you know what they should be doing, what it looks like, that it's conveying things correctly, or the actual hard parts of character animation.
So much envy for our creativity. Do the work like the rest of us. I started getting trained at age 5 in creativity. I honed that training through more and more use during my life. I didn't just wake up one morning seeing outside and around the box.
They think it's just 100% born in us when that's only a portion.
maybe they don't fully understand the role that artists play in rendering your daily life.
do you feel unease and sadness every single time you pass a fast food restaurant that looks the same as the others? i sure do.
the people who designed the new ones are artists but they work for satan and have no morals. they may as well be AI.
do you ever watch commercials on your streaming box and become quickly annoyed but then take in a commerical from the 80s and vibe to it? maybe not, but if you did, you'd notice the juicy fruity jingle was catchy as fuck and the aesthetics of the commercial were alluring. the modern ones? not so much. artists create all that.
the person in the tweet is too dim to notice these things. maybe they'll never notice it. maybe they do notice it and they don't care because they're disgusting examples of humanity....and embodiments of biblical evil.
As a former graphic department manager, artists can be difficult to work with... for non-artists.
I got to see how frustrated the boss/owner got dealing with us. We're not a neat, blackbox they can shove instructions into and get out a perfectly formed product on the first round--which is what they think AI will give them soon. If they think AI will be better at dealing with client demands, I'll be happy to watch them fail with that.
Honestly, I don’t even think it’s an artist vs non-artist thing.
It’s a communication thing, and specifically it hinges on leading with curiosity, trusting the people, and clearly defining expectations (or, failing that, setting boundaries).
I work in a different role now, but a large part of what I do is similar: interfacing between people of differing skill sets, expectations, and needs.
I’ve found that if I don’t get in front of people, they tend to assume the other party is hard to work with or maybe even dumb, rather than merely approaching from their own frame of reference. It gets easier once people realize that no one is an idiot, and we’re all just trying to check different boxes, often without a clear idea of the others considerations.
Except for that one colleague. Woof. Do they got blackmail on leadership or something? How do they manage to even feed themselves every day?
I agree with you. Artists aren't a neat, blackbox they can shove instructions into and get out a perfectly formed product on the first round, but neither is anybody else.
That said, artists aren't the only group of workers they hope to replace with AI.
Definitely agree, however if the client then ends up depending on AI for their plans and decisions you may end up with these models marking their own homework so to speak. You'll get a totally unimaginative and generic product out the other end, if they manage to make a product at all that is
I mean i am envious of people who have skill and tallent to draw/create pretty things and i really wish I had tallent to do the same.

I've worked with animation artists before. Character animation is a PITA. And they will welcome a tool that you could just describe the visual gag you want to animate instead of animating keyframe by keyframe. Instead of "animators" they will become "motion choreographers" using AI tools to be more productive and more free in their creative expression. You'll still need their skills because if you're not a character animator you lack the language and words and imagination to describe what you're trying to achieve.
And AI animation will allow you to have dynamic animations in game that react to the player. Something that isn't even possible to hand animate.
It would be great if the people managing the AI rollout thought of AI that way, instead of seeing it ONLY as tool to crush and control and manipulate the masses.
A gun can be used to hunt for food, or it can be used to murder an entire civilization. They intend to use AI the second way.
That's a totally legitimate argument against capitalism I agree with and which should be the bases of activism and demands for regulation. E.g. China passed a law that jobs may not be eliminated through AI.
But OP is yet another post inciting and misdirecting hate in unproductive ways. The vitriol and misinformation and non-sequiturs about AI are hampering sensible discussing about AI. And it's being injected into every sub. Like a social contagion.
Also, even if there is a tech that artists like, there's a big fucking difference between someone saying "Holy shit! This technology makes it so I can do this thing!" and "You're out of a job fucker! Die hungry on the streets!"

“AI gives wealth access to skill while denying skill access to wealth.”
this is wishful thinking on wealth’s part
when they have no actual skills outside of gaslighting they end up seeing this as the same they see an expert. they can't validate either way correctness and correctness doesn't really matter to them as long as they make money.
exactly
and they might make money for a while, but it won’t last
makes sense. (although I feel like it's more of a husk of almost-skill, given how trash AI is.) damn AI...
The core promise of AI is "You'll be able to fire all your workers!"
You just aren't the target audience for the message.
It's a stupid promise.
Some jobs will be eliminated by AI, new technology wipes out jobs all the time. We needed people to manually connect wires to connect phone calls, and we automated that away.

It's some poor slob with $15k on Nvidia stock praying they get rich without any skill for their shilling.

Resentment and weak egos, I assume.
"I'm a great person" -> "I can't draw good" -> "they can draw good" -> "am I not so great??" -> "unacceptable!!!" -> "they suck!"

No AI could ever match the creative genius of Korean animation studio.
Art just requires practice, which is even more rudimentary than education.
Prompt engineering and sifting through slop can appear like practice to anyone who doesn't. This, I find, is the source of the delusion and hate.
Not many people are figuring out things like color theory or perspective from practice alone.
Which is why there's a clear progression for art getting significantly better over the centuries. It's not because artists became more talented, it's because instruction was available.
I don't think art requires practice alone for all people. I spent a long time trying and still never manage to make a stick figure where all the lines connect where they should.
Realism takes practice. Art requires insight
