GAMETOONS vs. AI?! (Cartoon Animation)
YouTube video by GameToons GAMETOONS vs. AI?! (Cartoon Animation)

I did some animation and compositing on Gametoons' recent video! I got to animate from 0:17-2:01 (minus the gatling gun shot at 0:45), 7:57-8:16, and the last 40 seconds www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQi_...

AI "art" detracts from the whole reason I watch tv and movies

From the design of the set to the props used in it

I don't want AI generated background

I don't want AI generated scripts

I don't want AI generated "people" in my shows or movies

Please please please stop using AI, stop using ChatGPT, stop using this fascist-funding, data-farming, environment-killing, plagiarism-fueling, illiteracy-encouraging utter *garbage*.

Stop.

My god.

Just stop!

How do you reconcile this in your hearts?

STOP.

A big help for a lot of indie projects would be to keep initial projects smaller in scale, so more videos can be produced and build a gradual audience.

AI "art" also has to scan in several drawings/images from other human made sources in order to produce something. Whatever AI does to generate images/videos/sound, it's eternally relyant on stealing from others

Hope if DBO returns, it means that a new DB story can eventually be made with different characters down the road

Scarlett Johansson, Cate Blanchett, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Vince Gilligan are among 700 artists, writers and creators backing a new anti-AI campaign calling out tech companies for stealing copyrighted work

"Stealing our work is not innovation. It’s not progress. It’s theft β€” plain and simple"

Ah gotcha. I keep forgetting the initial english dub had a bunch of cuts that were pretty big (I think they had to combine certain episode too?)

Was it ever confirm why the music was replaced, and why moments of silence were totally removed back then? Was it to save on licencing the score, make a new score for royalties, or some other reason?
