@DynamicMegacorp @taherdhanera Yep, I've worked with incredible people who have figured out how to solve problems and open up all new options for electric, camera team, etc. A film is made of a million small decisions and suggestions compounding into something great. Conversation is critical to creativity.

@jennykrakovsky Since it’s the younger generations taking a stance against AI, while the old guard is mealy-mouthed on the subject, I’m here for it.

[AndrewRuiz @AndrewRuiz]

@DynamicMegacorp @taherdhanera I’m talking about actors, cinematographers, designers, editors, hmu, grips, everyone. Each person contributes their craft to the whole. Yes, people can make stuff on their own, but this medium is collaborative. If you have any doubt, listen to commentary on your favorite film.

@UberEats, your system dropped my discount, and the live chat help hung up on me. What's up with that?

[AndrewRuiz @AndrewRuiz]

@PJaccetturo @101sfinance Yep, once again proving the “fast, cheap, good” rule. Please pick two.

[AndrewRuiz @AndrewRuiz]

@durianboy91 @AGoldmund AI can’t even properly cover a scene. Or maintain eyelines. First semester film school stuff. The reason it’s all animated or movie trailer-esqe mashups is because AI is incapable of basic visual storytelling.

[AndrewRuiz @AndrewRuiz]

@TheMG3D The best thing AI has done for the arts is inarguably prove the “fast - good - cheap” triangle accurate.

[AndrewRuiz @AndrewRuiz]

@tomfgoodwin They’re used extensively in screenwriting, along side language which is both extremely descriptive and incredibly efficient. I imagine more screenplays went into the mix than we might think, and since they are not a widely read, the em-dashes seem unusual.

[AndrewRuiz @AndrewRuiz]

@Sly_Ant408 @bensig @philthatremains No, but what happens when the majority of commercial spaces close because 70% of their clientele are out of work? We’re all in this together.

[AndrewRuiz @AndrewRuiz]

@doganuraldesign Why is it always spectacle and never just a basic scene coverage with people talking and emoting? Because AI can’t do that. It may have a place in VFX, but it will never manage to emulate an actual actor’s performance. It can’t understand humanity.

[AndrewRuiz @AndrewRuiz]

@AIandDesign AI “filmmakers” fundamentally misunderstand the artform - it is the collaboration between director, actor, writer, cinematographer, etc that makes it work. AI eliminates that collaboration, which is the real reason it all feels soulless.

Is Holly substituting a fire poker for a sword a reference Digory in The Magician’s Nephew? #StrangerThings5

[AndrewRuiz @AndrewRuiz]

@EHuanglu You realize every single one is wildly incorrect, right?

[AndrewRuiz @AndrewRuiz]

@zoverions @Rahll This is a fundamental misunderstanding of filmmaking, and the biggest frustration with AI operators - all creatives know - the idea is cheap, it’s the execution that matters. That’s why your AI product will always feel empty. You skipped developing the skill that matters.

[AndrewRuiz @AndrewRuiz]

@ToshiArte What you fail to see is that in the years spent developing those skills you’re mocking, you also develop the ability to edit, evolve, and distill that first idea into something of value. Creatives understand: the idea is cheap, it’s the execution that matters.

[AndrewRuiz @AndrewRuiz]

@AubreyWitch @neilturkewitz That is correct. Human creatives learn from others. But there is no creator in AI art outside of the machine. Just the algorithm and the operator. You may become a very skilled operator, but that’s not a creative endeavor.

[AndrewRuiz @AndrewRuiz]

@Artedeingenio The problem is a fundamental misunderstanding of how a film is made. It’s the contributions of cast, designers, crew that make movies special. It’s a medium specifically designed to include many voices. I don’t know what AI’s product is, but it’s not a film.

[AndrewRuiz @AndrewRuiz]

@realLizUSA You're misinterpreting the polling on the Dems. They're not polling that badly because people prefer MAGA. They're polling badly because people don't think they're doing enough to stop Trump. Read more than the topline.

[AndrewRuiz @AndrewRuiz]

@muriellondon You’re describing the beginning of developing an artistic style. But without the time spent to learn the actual craft, insight never evolves. The effort makes the artist. The algorithm is providing the effort, not the user. “Ideas” are cheap, it’s the execution that matters.
