AI Will Cut Animation Labor And Production Time By 90% Says Former Dreamworks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg
AI Will Cut Animation Labor And Production Time By 90% Says Former Dreamworks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg
There goes 90% of the jobs! I'm not feeling great about the future of a lot of careers, including mine.
Or there's going to be 10x more animation projects and more niche content as a movie or show concept now only needs 1/10th the previous audience size to justify greenlighting it.
Just because he says it, doesn't make it true. Right now we have ceos everywhere just saying "AI" in every statement to sound relevant.
And we already went through this moving from hand-drawn to computer animation.
We already went through it when writing was invented and someone had an idea to start writing down the folk tales
AI as we currently know it is just a tool. If these morons with more money than brain cells, think that they're going to be able to drop all the liabilities, aka labor. And just have machines print them money they're sorely mistaken. It still takes people with creative talent and skill to write scripts. Frame shots. Direct action. Edit into coherent sequences. AI is good at putting things together. It's seen before. But creating new things still takes talent. The only question is do we allow these idiots to keep failing upwards. Or finally do something about them hurting everyone else to enrich themselves.
Ugh. Get ready for some super shitty animation.
'Shrek, why do you have three fingers on one hand, and an eldritch nightmare where the other should be?'
When the means get simpler and faster to create something of quality that the nations can enjoy throughout times, I rejoice!
As a consumer I think products and media should be labeled when AI is used so that I can consume responsibly and not support it.
