"Bad story is a bigger threat than the AI. "...
paulJkiely (9 minutes ago)
The more exposure to AI created content the more easier it becomes to spot or recognise… in that regard as a consequence think it raises the value of the work by human creators who are at the top of their industry…

Great levelheaded take on this Aaron, love your attitude and optimism and you've touched on some key issues here really effectively!

So happy to see that whatever you think of this AI stuff that the discourse in these comments has by and large been a productive one.

The one thing we can all share a laugh at is the absolutely horror that is AI generated hands

I know people of equal talent can have different opinions on the same thing, but it's really interesting to see a veteran craftsman whose work I actually know, be so secure in their own skills and be open and curious about new technologies and ways of doing things.

Coming from an animation industry veteran such as yourself, it is nice to see a based take on this current set of tools developing. Totally agree, it is the bad stories and bad management that does greater harm to animators and the industry as a whole than any new tools being introduced. Thanks for your thoughts!

I love your point of using one's own style in the AI. It could be used in such a wonderful way for animators to help them save time. With great power comes great responsibility
