Ha, love it when ppl show up in animation forums, post the most intense, maestro-tier scenes, and are like "What is this kind of scene called?" lol, fuck off. You're not sneaky. AI will not & can not reproduce the earthquake scene from "The Wind Also Rises" for you, stop soliciting prompts.

Looking for shortcuts like that are why you will never make anything that matters.

Yeah but they're such good ones. Although the answer to the prom thing 80% of the time seems to be corset back panel.

Reminds me of owning a bike. You can start cheap to get a feel for it, but if you want anything worth a damn you can't take a short cut. You're gonna have to leave to maintain it and care for it.

All of this stuff, including the technology itself is Cargo Cult Thinking. They believe that if they can recreate the surface details, the interior will magically grow itself to fill in the gaps. We can't code our way backwards into conscious intelligence when we don't even know how ours works yet.

It requires a point of view, not a condescending reverse engineer. Hackneyed calculations do not fit that well into the art/literary fields. 🤖🧩❓🌍🌌

Figuring out that artists don’t have some kind of magic secret shortcut has made me respect art and the people who make it so much more. “What are they doing that makes it so good?” Oh—hours and hours and hours and days and years of work.

Learning that also inspired my own artistic practice—if it takes me forever to make something, that doesn’t necessarily mean I’m bad at it; projects can just have a lot of steps and take a long time, and follow-through can be a skill in its own right

As an in-house designer, this one from Mythic Quest made me cheer.

Once I made a “THIS IS NOT WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS” sign for our area.

Because if they actually wanted to create something they would have been animators in the first place.
