@gavi_kaplan @trygraptor Gen AI is to Blender as Blender is to Stop Motion animation. Any serious AI artist learns the craft, trains the models, edits and curates 100s, sometimes 1000s of outputs. I understand most of you don't understand the workflow, but it is a craft all on its own

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@gavi_kaplan @trygraptor its a tool. from my understanding Kane cut his teeth using Blender. Blender uses a TON of interpolation, you don't set every frame, you make a handful of key frames and the softward fills in the gaps. That generative images with intention. This is just another step

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@Govindtwtt Lol. If you don't know what you're doing I guess

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@shub0414 You can keep all that and still find incredibly useful applications for AI. You may have critical thinking still intact but you suffer from a very narrow mind

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@MikesGreayworks He's allowed to be wrong

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@gavi_kaplan @trygraptor He's never seriously engaged with an AI workflow. Theres a ton of intention. Training models specifically to get the outputs you expect

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@gavi_kaplan @trygraptor generative AI could be used to quickly build and iterate on story boards, it could be used for reference art for set/costume designers, it can be used to sharpen story beats, it can be used to streamline special effects... and 100 other things

@dorkworldsfair @simmons_ge54267 @trygraptor Executing his vision

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@simmons_ge54267 @trygraptor An artist NEEDS to create and utilizes every toolset available to execute their vision. A film director in particular is just a prompt engineer with a massive budget. They prompt the DOP, actors, grips, etc... and then reprompt when they don't get the results they desire

@silver_dillo @MarcNixon24

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@TheJPA To be frank, directing is already prompting and re-promting until you get what you want

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@doeryoon @VictorInFocus Blender does a TON of interpolation. Yeah that is generative AI in its early form

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@VictorInFocus It's funny to me because there is zero self-awareness here. A directors entire job is prompting. They don't build the sets, point the camera, light the scene, act the script. Literally all prompting from start to finish

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@boomborks Did the director of this film not have other people build the sets, light the scenes, shoot the scenes?? Its such a strange stance for a director cause their job is LITERALLY prompting human beings

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@Some0neWhere @TheExplosiveTMT Making films is about telling compelling stories. The process is irrelevant if the product accomplishes this

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@Fransuchus funny part here is 95% of people involved in production of this film leaned on AI in some form or another

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@tax_xempt You've clearly never had a good brainstorming session with a robot. It's ALOT of fun

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@InventionZero @DaveShapi Those are already available. If your serious about doing any real project your going to train your own models and pay for the compute to run them. No censorship at all

[Nathan🇨🇦 @NotThatNATO]

@realnicodavis @PoorOldRoloTony With ease? Are you high or something?
