>even the official attempt at Sugimori watercolor fat Pikachu looks lifeless and deadWe are so fucked
>>58801047It looks fine, shut up doomer retard
>>58801047Porkichu WILL return
>>58801047this animation was anything but soulless
It's AI.
>>58801114If only. Them using the Sugimori style to gen stuff would be so based
>>58801047Why is the left cheek off center? Fucking amateur artists.
>>58801169Good catch and good edit
>>58801157AI visuals are not based, you're just a faggot contrarian
>>58801178Hey, it'll be miles better than the generic slop artstyle we got going right now
>zoomers itt can't tell the difference between og sugi art and this sloppy imitation Grim.
>>58801236aislop is by definition generic.
>>58801596Not if you input the right prompts
I unironically love AI. Why are people shitting on it?
>>58801605Because it's le evil
>>58801605>t. skynet
>>58801114This, they're testing the waters to see if anyone notices or cares. Odds are GameFreak got paid HUGE money (think tens or even hundreds of billions in yen) by interested parties to use it in their 30th anniversary material, so even if it's exposed, it'll be a true test of people's willingness to stop engaging with something because of AI use when it now concerns a brand name as beloved as Pokemon.And if the people choose to accept AI because it's Pokemon, then it's proof they're weak-willed faggots and that the bubble isn't popping anytime soon.
>>58801605how is Mumbai this time of year my friend?
Nobody has given me an actual reason to shit on AI. Is it because of poor le artists being put out of work? If so, I don't care. Get a new job. Telephone operators went way of the dodo too.I prefer AI creating environments in games because it eliminates lazy humans half assing it. At least when AI half asses it the product looks halfway decent.
>>58801795Good morning sir!
>>58801795you've seemingly already set your mind on it. stop wasting my time trying to get me to convince you otherwise when you and i both know anything i say would be in vain
>>58801047AIslop
>>58801805Honestly? Based.I simply don't see AI as bad. Look at how bloated some of these studios are right now. And then they shit out a terrible product on top of it.Fire the majority of them, refine AI for art/graphics, use humans for story or whatever.Some of the AI mons that Palworld has shit out are better than nu-Pokemon designs.
>>58801169After the official stock art for new Pokémon in SV, I shouldn't be too surprised.
>>58801795AI can't truly think, so everything it makes is samey and low-effort. It is also extremely easy to create and pump out, so it floods every form of art imaginable. It also is easy to fall for if you're gullible, but easy to discern if you're not. So it's used deceptively on the unwashed masses for profit. Essentially just the TEMU-fication of China-fication of art, which is abhorrent to me.>pic related: 5 second prompt
>>58801762>it's proof they're weak-willed faggotsWe already knew that since covid
>>58801915>China-fication of art,What does that mean?>>pic related: 5 second promptOh fuck, I actually thought that was real
>>58801605It looks generic and is, in the most literal sense of the word, soulless. The whole point of art is human expression. The conversion of thoughts, feelings, memories and impressions into images and other media.AI art lacks that. If you don't understand that, you probably have autism and don't understand the human spirit.
>>58801947Cheap, mass produced, uninspired
>>58801949>The whole point of art is human expressionAnd propaganda
>>58801947>>58801955I realize I made a typo> TEMU-fication OR China-fication of art
>>58801956Technically a human expression. Animals don't understand the concept of propaganda.
>>58801949As it turns out though, the majority of humans don't actually care about human spirit anymore, because they've been so demoralized by their fellow men existing that they'd rather take regurgitations from a machine.
>>58801964Oh yeah, now it makes sense>>58801969True
No, making Starmie tall is lifeless and dead…
>>58801972It really does seem like that doesn't it? I think a lot of people (especially younger ones) seriously damaged their perception of reality and themselves through excessive internet use. Their brain chemistry just doesn't work right anymore because they grew up in such an unnatural way compared to how humans are supposed to grow up and live. We weren't ready for the internet.
>>58801605I use AI for work daily but even I'm starting to question what's the point>use AI to generate a formal email in 5 seconds because it's just better and faster than what I'd write in an hour>correspondent 100% uses AI for the reply>I use AI again to summarize and gather key points because I canThis is just the world we live in now and there's no going back
>>58802003Nah, most people weren't artists back then either
>>58802018It's not about being an artist, it's about appreciating other people expressing themselves.
>>58802014It's extremely sad to learn that I put more time and effort into writing some of my posts on this godforsaken board than professional business emails these days.
>>58802060I only appreciate a handful of people doing that desu
>>58801955>Cheap, mass produced, uninspiredExpedition 33 with AI has infinitely more soul than nu pokeshit, which likely uses AI just as much but pokeshills are in complete denial about it cause they cant get Ohmori's dick out of their mouths
>>58801605>>58801795I'm >>58801178 and I came back to answer.Related to Pokémon: Gamefreak quality control is shit. AI generated images create more excuses for laziness and more areas where quality can and will slip up. If I have to explain any further then you're a retard.Unrelated to Pokémon: Generally I hate AI because we already have a job crisis in the states and it's blatantly obvious that we're not as far as we think from having a way worse unemployment epidemic as corpos are going to no longer have need for humans in many roles. It also sucks that people in creative fields have already been hit first but people are people don't give a fuck and are being too retarded and awe struck to see that they're also on the chopping block because "it's not me though. I have a stable job in tech-ACK!". We're marching to our own downfall. It's lemming shit.Also, I assume you like movies, TV, books, comics, etc, right? You want it to be even harder than it's always been for the common person to want to/be able to enter the industry? It's a future full of pure corposlop because the CEOs are writing the stories now meanwhile you pay a subscription at an audacious price thag won't stop artificially increasing as a simulacram of a time when the product took actual money and resources to make.
>>58802609So we don't have to hire Indian for tech anymore?
>>58802768*Indians
>>58802609>we already have a job crisis in the statesLike how I want to have a job again and made multiple applications.The end result is either:- I don't get a response- I go in for an interview and I don't get a call back to know whether I'm hired or not even though I was told I'd get a call about itAnd it's almost always the assistant manager.
>>58801915I like the pic. I'm not seeing whats so awful about it.>>58801949Its true I have autism, but I'd take generic over some of the nu-pokemon designs we've gotten. Sometimes simple is better than meme/goofy shit.>>58801955I've never been an artsy person and don't care about nuance of how some anon squiggled a line under his cartoons eye while he was taking a dump to convey his emotional state while drawing it.>>58802609If Gamefreak truly used AI I feel like the games would be less shit. AI would be able to cover their deficiencies better.To your unrelated point: I work at Cub Foods (grocery store). My job is safe for now, but I don't have a bloated salary nor do I have WFH capabilities. I live within my means and do ok.I'm not going to shed a tear for some white collar worker doing menial work that is easily replaced by AI. I've seen many vids of some goof at their adult daycare doing fuckall while they scroll their phones or shitpost.If I lose my job I'll navigate that in the future, but I won't lose sleep over someone elses cushiony job getting eliminated.I look forward to working with you guys if you ever end up where I work. We can talk Pokemon and hang out.
>>58802789Where do you live? What kind of job are you applying for?I can prob point you towards a fast food joint or grocery store.
>>58802865>We can talk Pokemon and hang out.It will never be the same as it was in primary school, ever again :(
>>58802865>I work at Cub Foods (grocery store)you might want to look closer at your job security, anon. I don't know anything about Cub Foods specifically but grocery stores get more automated by the year and it's an industry where the higher ups can easily see their employees as expendable>I'm not going to shed a tear for some white collar workerthat's still people in your community who will be struggling to survive>If I lose my job I'll navigate that in the futurewhen was the last time you were unemployed? It may be a lot better where you live but I've been having >>58802789's experience where these motherfuckers don't respond at all, reject me without interview, ghost me, or I swear I land an interview but get turned down or ghosted anyways. It actually mindfucks me to remember that half a decade ago I used to just wapk into places and get a job. Now I swear to god I average 1 interview every 50 applications I send out. Watch your back, dude. Talk to your friends and new hires and be aware how hard their job hunting experiences have been. You need to stay vigilant about these kinds of things
>>58802927>Talk to your friendsWhat friends?
