No more overexploited and underpaid cartoonists...?
>>281902398Now we can exploit them without paying by training our AI on their past work

pretty impressive how gainax became this pathetic
AI is the most anti-otaku thing in existence, makes sense that the current process of normalfagisation of the industry will lead to this.
>>281902699>AI is the most anti-otaku thing in existenceThis is the most cringe-inducing post on /a/ in existence.
>>281902398SEA cartoonist sweatshops will continhe, but now they will be tasked with fixing the awful AI frames generated by pajeet sweatshops, essentially doubling the costs while halving the quality.
>>281902398The eventual effect would probably be that the lower end of the industry becomes automated while a few prestige studios continue on with human animators for movies and major scenes in TV series otherwise put together with AI. Touch ups and “in-betweens” done by humans might still edge out the cost of spinning the hamster wheels longer to get consistency from the machine but considering how lazily CGI has been integrated into most pipelines I wouldn’t be terribly shocked if two years from now all the gacha and toy commercial shows are produced by AIs and we’re counting the number of human made cuts in major time slot airing manga adaptions.
>>281902747MEDS, NOW.

Don't Japs hate ai 10x more than any westerner? Will never succeed.
>>281902800Not everyone is your one singular adversary you psycho!
>>281902832>Don't Japs hate ai 10x more than any westerner?Wrong.Stop assuming Japan is one collective hivemind. There's a subset of haters there just like everywhere else.
>>281902699No I think AI function exactly like database animals actually, and we’re coming dangerously close to a point where there’s a button that can turn your scribbles and scripts into a fully “finished” episode of anime with the entirety of the audio-visual bells and whistles. That’s also going to mean you can edit and alter existing series as if stepping into the studio to make your definitive vision of a classic or prove you can turn that trash into a diamond. Fanfiction is going to enter an unprecedented era of activity.
>>281902875What's database, gelbooru tags?
>>281902723Realistically this is all that's going to happen.
>>281902875>and we’re coming dangerously close to a point where there’s a button that can turn your scribbles and scripts into a fully “finished” episode of anime with the entirety of the audio-visual bells and whistlesumm, the video model still only natively supports 5 second videos. when 10 seconds releases it will probably require an outrageously expensive GPU.>b-but muh cloudcensored
>>281902902Media mix I think he means
Have you some of you really not read 'Database Animals'I thought this board was for serious fans
>>281902902>>281902933Tourists brains don’t even activate if they see “otaku” and “database” near each other let alone that database animals has no other results in a search lol

I think AI camera movement has a lot of potential.Historically it is very difficult to animate a camera without using 3D software in a rendered environment. AI presents some interesting opportunities to drop 3D workloads.
>>281903176This sort of just makes me miss Flash animations and games, but I guess that era is going to echo once more as these tools become more accessible

>>281903757What are your thoughts on the progress of AI anime animation? Are we at a point where AI generated animation doesn't appear distracting for certain scenes?Obviously it can't do violence well yet.
do AI videos use gelbooru tags?
>>281903923Not me, I got it from a MT thread. I assume it is AI.
>>281903923I heard all ai trash uses danbo and gelbo tags mostly but I don't know much because fuck ai.
>>281904745no, that's oldschool image generation. video and modern image gen use context-based models.
We need AI-animated pupa and Mars of Destruction.
>>281905086That sounds boring compared to turning every ecchi series into outright hentai
>>281902584Bot website.
281905631I want everyone to read this post and remember this is what goes on inside the mind of a creature that posts AI ecchislop webms of 20 year old kids' shows nonstop
>>281905839Do you think there’s a significant difference between that and doujinshi of 20 year old kids shows that are made nonstop? AI is just a new tool, not something antithetical to otaku subculture
>>281906269Not nearly a tenth of the love or craft goes into your shitty slop webms as compared to Doraemon doujinshiKill yourself and stop shitting up the catalog

Aijeet spammer thread, did you noticed an increase of AIshit on /a/, yeah it's this paid shill spamming his garbage
>>281902348>anime will be made with ai nowWith love? Took them a while.
>>281906654Anon, you are a complete and utter idiot.
>>281902348There was already one made with AI and it wasn't a success.Gaina didn't make anything worth so this news is nothing.
>>281909913once upon a time people were saying this exact thing about 3DCG
>>281910473Take your meds, schizo freak.
>>281910940Hi ACK, how has your day been?
>>281910981You clearly have the exact same form of severe mental illness as ACK though. Digging the archives for screencaps is a dead giveaway. You appear completely devoid of any self awareness of just how miserable and embarrassing your life is xD
>>281902875>Fanfiction is going to enter an unprecedented era of activity.You're such a retarded casual. Most people who make and read fanfics are deranged autists who generally care about the accuracy and the artists' intentions. If you generate it like that, it will lose all novelty and interest altogether. It's like how the irl art community has long hated low quality stuff that are popular with normalfags.
>>281911026>xDand there we go, confirmed third world tourist newfag
>>281902348>one month old ann slopyou arent even trying anymore
AI animation can be beautiful.
Hand-drawn animation can look like absolute garbage.

Wasn't this studio handling gunbuster 3?
>>2819117001. We don't blogpost here2. We don't sign our posts here
>>281902875have you ever tried doing unconventional things with Ai? things that don't have tags or are so low in submissions it can't produce it?AI won't be doing shit lol
Didn't SHAFT use it in the latest Monogatari?
Best thing that AI will give is allowing you to add back nipples and panty shots to anime at home.
>>281912225no it can also do vagina
>>281912326Probably assholes too

>>281912641>>281912714yes, we've already established multiple times that it's an attention-starved tranny behind the spam
>>281912641he's originally from /g/ but got laughed off of there by the other sloppers, he also does this on /vp/
>>281912714Take your meds, you don't know what spamming means, schizo.

>>281913150Why are you spending so much time crying about a poster you don't like?
>>281913203>the random mention of ACKWhat makes you think it was a random mention?
>>281912842most likely
I don't particularly mind for the time-saving effort at animation, and it's true that the few times studios do go back to hand-drawn dedicated animation it's mid quality at best, and we just got used to it.But it's gonna need a hell of a lot of calibrating and tinkering until it gives a decent result. At least i know it's not gonna be as bad as cheap CGI shows like Ex-Arm, but still. Probably if they use AI to animate short segments, using the storyboard draft as "goalposts" to where the animation should go, and then meshing said segments together, it could work
>>281913463I'm hoping they will introduce tools to combine traditional animation with generative animation. It would be great if more creator's intent could be involved instead of just a simple text prompt.
>there are people in this thread claiming use of AI is a good thingMine eyes have seen the evils of this world
>>281913570Not everyone is as narrow-minded as you are anon.
>>281913570wanschizo is not a person
Is this the same guy who kept bumping a AI spam thread for 2 days last time?
>>281913678The very sameAnyway, what do you think of AI?
Rikka no!
>>281914127This thread has been really funny, got 50 post without videos because when the first ai slop webm got posted these were deleted, either he got banned and literally nobody cared to post anything until it got to page 10 and a new dump of the same webm got posted.
>>281902348So they lost their x and gained a new one?Anyway, anime has always been about cutting costs. This is something that will cut costs. Normalfags don't care and they are the ones paying for the streams, and the studios are ultimately bitches of whoever pays. They already don't care for CGI, why would they care for Ai?So you'll get censored, MTLd, aislop and you can't do anything about it but whine on the internet that anime is dead like you have done for 50 years.
>>281902875>That’s also going to mean you can edit and alter existing series as if stepping into the studio to make your definitive vision of a classic or prove you can turn that trash into a diamond.Oof, I can see all the Ai enhanced "remakes" of old classics already. Just pass whole series through it, remove "troublesome" speech and shots, reduce it to 12 episodes and call it a day.
>>281914337This is the one that used to be called Fukushima Gainax, Gaina and now called Benten Films
>>281914403Sounds wonderful
>>281914403You misunderstand what sort of losers are drawn to AI in the first place, it’s going to be the opposite of what you said where classics and popular new shows become bloated as people add porn and try to turn characters into mouthpieces for reactionary propaganda that directly contradicts the original content of the show
>giving a shit about AI>not realizing this means that Uru in Blue and Gunbuster 3 are never going to be made
>>281914829Good, because they are both worthless garbage.
>>281914337On the other hand, it's so garbage at subtle details that remaining skilled studios will have an upsell of their quality.
>>281914829So, nothing has changed there.
>>281914337You are underestimating AI's capacity to generate nice looking B-roll frames. Things like characters walking in the background should look a lot better now.
>>281902398Yes now they will be jobless instead.
This thread looks slightly different every time I open it.
>>281915497Why don't they just delete the thread at this point
>>281915676You might as well go on IRC and ask for an explanation
>>281916023Or maybe the mods could have some fucking transparency and communicate with us directly instead of insinuating we go look for their secret hideout so they can ban us from the channel for not being irony-poisoned
>>281915676A cross-boarder using crossboard lingo disliking it isn't a good reason to delete threads. It feels kinda low-effort. It's high-maintenance so let's delete things.
Its a dangerous game though.You're basically telling everyone "yeah, we make our anime with AI, what are you gonna do, make your own? Hahahaha oh shit WAIT-"
>>281916382It's more than just one person
>>281902348What are some examples of AI being used in modern anime?
>>281902875AI is still a fairly long way away from being able to generate full anime.
>>281911292Why did people think Kill la Kill was well animated?
>>281918410Don't you remember KlK will save anime aka conserve animation?
>>281919303>aka conserve animationNo, you interpreted it wrong, to save it is to kill it
what the fuck is wrong with this thread
>>281920324Just the usual sperglord having a meltdown.
>>281920363Is this supposed to be a meltdown? I like the comic so I’m always happy to see it. It’s one of my favorite parts of AI threads.
>>281902348Dead on arrival
>>281920835huh?
>>281920835This. I hope they go bankrupt
>>281912658I mean, we all know it's you. You make a thread like this every day (and I genuinely mean it) and then you get defensive about it in your own specific way people easily recognize. That being said I wish you made them more often, if janny mods can't be arsed to do anything with content like this, /a/ deserves to swim in it
>>281921749>You make a thread like this every day (and I genuinely mean it)Where's your evidence, schizo?
>>281921762All I'm saying is keep up the good work. Me and other people who spot your threads instantly know it's you. There's no need to deny anything, unless you like to make an idiot out of yourself
>>281921805The consistency of his responses in terms of style and frequency has had me wondering whether it's not an actual person behind the threads.
>>281921805>All I'm sayingis that you're a braindamaged schizo suffering severe brainrot.Sorry anon, this is what happens when you spend too much time on 4chan combined with mental illness. You start chasing boogiemen obsessively and become entirely consumed by it.I feel sorry for you bro, you're too dumb to realize you have a problem ._.
I think we're one major breakthrough away from AI anime being feasible. That breakthrough being shot-to-shot consistency.Once that gets solved, I welcome the new era of indie anime.
>>281914403People who like to sanitize old works generally are anti-AI because they're the same kind of people who go "SUPPORT ARTISTS!!!!"
>>281902398HOLY SHIT TWO CAKES
>>281922627I think the breakthrough will be more general in terms of self-improving AI that will solve those sorts of problems and build the input and editing pipeline with less and less human tinkering necessary
lol anti-AI schizo is even crazier than ACK.from this day forward, our sperg friend will be known as AAIK.
>>281914558Not the official studios. Maybe some amateur "artists" will make porn out of them, if they can stop themselves from working on the popular gacha shit of the week.Official studios will just censor and sanitize anything coming from the past for the sake of a quick buck.
>>281902348I think AI could be used well to create more in-between frames and to create dubs with the OG VA voice.
>>281923576Inbetweens is the least controversial use of the technology. Toei talked of their plans of using it so the director can quickly iterate over changes and fix animation mistakes.Ai voice would be interesting, but only if they manage to make them high quality and not robotic like the translated news in youtube sound right now. Although I'd assume westerners would hate the high pitched voices.>>281923433Patoko a cute! Thanks for the dump. I wonder if anon will ever make an Ai anime out of it.
>>281902348So it'll finally have more than 3 frames?
>>281924028Anon even local AI natively supports 81 frames.
>>281924071Methinks anon is implying gaina(x) doesn't.
>>281924122You sure he wasn't talking about Trigger? >>281911292
>>281924151It had to be a black man!
>>281902348AI in art is an attack on the human soul
>>281924496No it isn't.
>>281924496That's why Indians love it, they have none. I've never wasted one second of my time arguing against AI because I know everyone defending it is an Indian, and thus beneath my notice.
Kobeni no!
>>281902348As long as the genga is manmade, who cares?Probably helps a lot cutting on those expenses in China and Korea for getting the douga done.
>>281924529Why not?
>>281925353your statement doesn't even make sense to begin with, anon.
>>281925396Ah, so you're one of those types You don't understand art, you just consume
>>281925472Actually I'm just not braindamaged like you are
>>281925472You would know this by simply looking at the webms he creates and decides are worthy of spamming far and wide. The same kids' cartoons characters and ecchi bait. They're always shaking their bodies for no reason, flapping their mouths uselessly, and then taking off their tops or skirts. Over and over and over and over and over.
>>281925600Get back to work schizo.
281925660Who is paying you to do this?
281925758>everyone I don't like is one person!So who's paying you to do this?Don't you have friends or family to spend time with? I'm assuming today's a holiday for you.
>>281925798>Don't you have friends or family to spend time with?Get back to work, sperg.
Why is Haruhi so lewd?
281925824You can just say you don't have friends, I'm not going to belittle you for that.
>>281925857>You can just say you don't have friendsThere's no need to project your insecurities onto others, my dear friend. Spending your entire day storytiming your little manga in a random 4chan thread then telling others they don't have friends is too ironic :)
>>281925472Anime is not art, it's just advertising, amusement, and arousal. Who cares if some pixels were added by a machine or by a machine directed by a human.
>>281925994If that's what you're watching you need to spend your time better
>>281926190Not watching anime you mean? Nah, I like the amusement.
>>281902348People always scream bloody murder when they see a 2 second irrelevant inbetween scene with bad quality, and AI can fix that, so what's the problem?
>>281927123>so what's the problem?Drives people with schizophrenia insane.
Duelgundam was raped in the sizzling summer of 2025
>>281927134>I have a problem, AND I'M GOING INSANE>ok I'll fix the problem>you solved the problem, AND I'M GOING INSANEHuh.

AI existing just means that the barrier for making anything memorable becomes far higher than before. Used to take effort merely to produce mediocrity, but now there's none of that so standards should soar. Of course people will always had terrible tastes, and they still will.
