How will the ever evolving technology affect the animation industry in the coming years?

Over 90% of Artists will be unemployed. Expect mass sudoku.

Man, /co/ is just repeating.

>>149278256
The truth hurts boi. You're being replaced.

>>149278135 (OP)
It probably won't be used outside of like assisting people with editing.
The problem with generative AI is that legally, thanks to court cases like Naruto v. Slater work created by nonhumans can't be copywritten so the risk of someone just posting your AI cartoons on youtube and you have no recourse is fairly high.

are we also being replaced with bot posters?

>>149278135 (OP)
They need to return to form, maybe AI replacing artists will get people back to doing cel animation and hand drawn art again.

>>149278692
This is fake news. AI Art came from the person who prompted it first. That is me, not you. ME.

So no, you don't get to steal my hard work you luddite cuck.

>>149278721
AI can replace that too.
Go find a real job instead.

>>149278765
Probably either Cambodian or North Indian.
>>149278789
Can it do cel? Like full on cel animation?
I'll let you guys do all the digital shit, but handcrafted art requires time.

>>149278798
>I'll let you guys do all the digital shit, but handcrafted art requires time.
And a robot can still do it better, faster and cheaper too.
Turns out art is the easiest thing to replace.

>>149278721
Cel is dead and people on this board need to accept that

>>149278789
Booooooring

>>149278827
Most anons can't even tell the difference between cel and digital ink and paint
You'd be shocked at how many people think Cuphead was colored with painted cels (it was colored in photoshop)
Most anons believe that cel simply means hand drawn instead of referring to the painting process

>>149278840
Millions of people love AI and it's cheaper than paying an artist.

You can emulate cel animation well enough with digital tools anyway, I don't know why they don't more often

>>149279027
The main thing I don't like is that everything is way too bright.
You can get pretty close with digital but it will never be the same.
You can replicate the style and the person but you'll never be able to make it unique enough to stick out.

Just turn down the brightness bro.

>>149279493
Still not the same as having the cel on the backlight.

Once AI can make Tom and Jerry cartoons at the level of Mouse Trouble, Trap Happy and The Yankee Doodle Mouse then the industry's doomed (because the majority of the world will want nothing but it)

>>149278755
Sorry no, it's being made by an algorithm. You didn't actually create it man.

AIEEE it's so over whatever will cartoonists do now?

>>149280141
> You didn't actually create it man.
Yes I did. My prompt told AI to create the picture. It is therefore mine.

>>149280202
It sucks still.

>>149280239
It's good enough to replace artists and the tech is always getting better.

>>149280239
do better

>>149280262
Kys Sandeep

Paula broke Grok, so I'll try Chatgpt next.

>>149278721
There are plenty of hand drawn cartoons that use digital colouring.

>>149278135 (OP)
GOOD MORNING SAAR
HIGH QUALITY AI ANIMATION SAAAAAR

>>149280291
Okay.
Chatgpt did it better.
>>149280318
Yeah I know, but they kinda don't feel the same as cel.

I think we are gonna see a sort of boom in random people making cartoons the same way Flash allowed anyone willing to put the time on it to make cartoons and games in the mid 00s.

As impressive as it is, you need some effort to make sure the AI doesn't act retarded so people will be able to make their own cartoons but would need to spend time either creating assets themselves of spending countless hours making sure the AI does them well for them.

>>149280756
in the time it takes you to make an impressive ai video you could make triple the amount of flash animations

>>149280802
Most poeple don't want quality they want content, I'm reminded of the two cakes meme, same idea but in this case they don't care there is a third cake made by a robot.

>>149278827
It died because it was shit. What did they expect

>>149280229
No, you're telling something else to make it for you. Are you retarded? What am I saying? Of course you are, you think pressing a button to start a factory equals handcrafting everything yourself.

>>149278135 (OP)
Studios are gonna use it to pump out 10x the woke slop and push for bills and regulations that they can afford to work around so that the average AI lover can't make any monetary value off of it. In less than 5 years Disney's gonna have its hands on a powerful AI generation tool that makes OpenAI look primitive.

>>149281123
It comes full circle.

>>149281123
>>149281198
I wonder if I can take my shitty art and just feed it through the AI and make it better?

>>149278135 (OP)
There won't be anyone to consume AI assisted animation, because everyone else will be forced into poverty

>>149281290
yeah
but you will probably need to do some very specific prompting to make it look not immediately like ai slop

>>149281363
I put one of Guy's works through the AI and it gave me this.

>>149281419
This was the original btw.
It's like a view into an alternate reality where he actually focused on his art instead of going off the deep end.

honestly i like using ai for coming up with shit to redraw

>>149281419
Damn it Guy, you could've kept your weird style and refined it and you would've been unique.
>>149281542
Well Anon you technically could trace over AI art and nobody would know, but you would have to fix all the imperfections.

>>149281542
Same desu it gives me a lot of ideas.

>>149278862
>Most anons believe that cel simply means hand drawn instead of referring to the painting process
in the context of traditional or digital animation? if digital I'd understand cel to be used interchangeably with frame-by-frame animation

>>149281577
>you technically could trace over AI art and nobody would know
sure, but that wouldn't be as fun, and if it's not fun and it's not paying the bills then there's not much point in doing it.

>>149280282
But can it do Ed Edd and Eddy?

JJ McCullough made a video about generative AI and how, as it approves and becomes more widely adopted, the new skill in art won't be the craft of making it, but how well you can project taste into the finished product.

>>149278135 (OP)
What industry?

>>149282466
>I'd understand cel to be used interchangeably with frame-by-frame animation
fbf is hand drawn, cel is a specific process that was pretty much phased out by the mid 2000s
Ed Edd and Eddy was one of the last ones to keep using it but even they had to eventually switch to digital ink and paint

>>149282616
>>149282466
Many digital ink and paint shows were still animated on paper, they just scanned the sheets and colored on a computer. Nowadays with tablets, a lot of hand drawn shows can just draw directly digital. Despite the memes, toon boom is also a software designed for hand drawn animation.

>>149282508
*improves. Goddamn, what is wrong with me?

>>149282616
ok so by cel you do mean physical painted animation cels not the digital equivalent

>>149282633
yes I understand

>>149282666
>ok so by cel you do mean physical painted animation cels not the digital equivalent
Yeah, the actual painting process

Can AI make a man whose arm transforms into a gay lobster excited to see the new Captain America movie? I don't think so.

>>149282723
AI can do a really damn good South Park.

You do this in every AI thread and you are still a faggot. Faggot.

>>149280971
>you think pressing a button to start a factory equals handcrafting everything yourself.

You just described photography. If we can credit them for taking pictures then we can credit AI Artists for writing the prompt.

>>149282809
AI is bad for you

>>149279351
any reason?

>>149279493
I think that's due to how it was created back in the day more than anything.
With computers, you don't have to worry about lighting in the room or the picture jagging around.

>>149282723
So, that's a no.

>>149283296
This.
I also believe that capturing the frames on film has a lot more to do with people's fondness of it than anything else. This by default mutes the colors a bit in a nice way. Plus film grain can be somewhat comforting/warm at least to me
