And now they’re doing the “shift all the blame to the individual consumer” paper straws thing with AI use.

[Samuel Deats 🌕 @SamuelDeats]

Generative AI is built on the stolen personal data and creative works of countless people across generations. Our art, music, writing, movies, photos, voices, journalism, and so on. Stolen by tech oligarchs.

It destroys jobs, communities, the environment, and now your hobbies.

REMINDER

Anyone who tells you that "all studios" are using AI, that an AI dominated future is "inevitable", or that "AI is here to stay" are either fear mongering in order to pressure you into settling/complying and accepting slop, OR are just making excuses for themselves.

[Art Directors Guild @ADG800]

The Art Directors Guild, IATSE Local 800 #adg800 has issued a statement on Martin Scorsese’s recent promotion of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI):

"Mr. Scorsese, The Business is not in flux.

Oscar winning director Martin Scorsese is turning his back on the human artists who throughout his career have helped him create his most memorable works.

In the recently released Black Forest Labs video promoting their generative AI product FLUX, Mr. Scorsese asks the question, “how do you communicate what you see in your head to your cast and crew?” He claims the solution is the use of this generative AI program to do the jobs that are rightfully the jurisdiction of Art Directors Guild Local 800 artists and designers - human artists and designers who have been successfully collaborating with directors to visualize their films for decades. Mr. Scorsese's promotion of a generative AI product circumvents the input of Art Directors Guild Local 800 art directors, graphic artists, illustrators, production designers, scenic artists, set designers, and other talented Union professionals.

Generative AI is only capable of producing this type of “cinematic intelligence” by ingesting large swaths of copyrighted work, likely scraped from the internet without consent, credit, compensation, or transparency.

The skills of Art Directors Guild Local 800 artists and designers bring the highest level of value to any film or television production. To think their professional contributions can be mimicked or outshone by generative AI, which is built on work likely stolen from them and many other artists from around the world, is a betrayal of the collaborative nature of cinema."

Some of my TERRIBLY DRAWN storyboards for I Love Boosters. Later- we did have an amazing artist re-do them, but planned through most of prep using these. It worked. You don't have to use AI to do this shit.

[Variety @Variety]

Boots Riley came out swinging after Martin Scorsese announced his involvement with the AI company Black Forest Labs on Tuesday:

“My guess: at 83, they gave his family a gang of money (they throw tens of millions left&right) he wanted the income stream4them& feels like ‘AI’ will fall on its face anyway, so he doesnt give a f*ck. If that’s not the case, extraf*ck him. Separately, go see I Love Boosters today.” https://t.co/zwW9dm7TAH

[ToonHive @ToonHive]

Voice actress Grey DeLisle says she has nothing to do with generative AI art of any kind and never will:

“It is poisoning under-served communities and slowly killing the industry that I love so dearly.”

[Thomas 🐋STORY ARTIST open for work🐋 @Thomas_EM_]

Wow if only there was an existing way of visually communicating shot compositions with your cast and crew…

[Black Forest Labs @bfl_ai]

"There's always been this problem of how do you communicate what you see in your head to your cast and crew. There are some things you have to see and feel. […] Now with this tool, I can share what I'm visualizing more clearly and efficiently to my creative team—the production designer, art designer, and cinematographer—for them to build on to enrich cinematic intelligence." - Martin Scorsese

[Samuel Deats 🌕 @SamuelDeats]

It takes literally seconds for me to storyboard a shot, there is absolutely no reason to need AI built on the stolen work of millions of artists to storyboard your vision, have some damn pride and respect your peers

[Karla Ortiz @kortizart]

He throws every single storyboard artist he’s ever worked with under the bus, as he demolishes their livelihoods with models that are likely trained on those story board artist’s same works.

To use his legacy and power for this is just so disgusting.
