@FoldableHuman as an artist in the animation industry I really appreciate your thread on this! I hope you're right and your line of reasoning absolutely makes sense. Likening user engagement with AI like a slot machine is very apt lol

@FoldableHuman A search engine is faster, cheaper, and provides better results. The only advantage of generative AI is it let's huckster obscure the work they're ripping off.

@FoldableHuman Was it the Bed Bath and Beyond stuff that put you off making videos on such topics? Because those guys are going to generate fascinating nonsense ad infinitum and it must have been hard to pick a point to wrap up the video. As we speak they're predicting a merger with Lego

@FoldableHuman Tech bros consistently investing in the worst stuff, and having it blow up in their face or the umpteenth time.

@NivrapNobody @FoldableHuman You have to remember how they frame artists: Elitist snobs who were somehow granted an undeserved divine gift. They assume its to show off and not as a guide for work.

@Canadia62574303 @FoldableHuman You could use a real expression sheet to do that, but I'm asking what the purpose of an AI-generated expression sheet is? It's not good as an actual artistic reference, and its inconsistencies will only be further multiplied if it's fed back into a lora.

@prohomosexual @FoldableHuman It's the same thing as when they fake "progress videos" by just putting another layer on top and then erasing the layer. Like, they're already aware of the fact that they didn't do any work, but when pressed about it, they have to pretend it takes effort.

@NivrapNobody @FoldableHuman they want to have the legitimacy of being an artist without putting in the work

@FoldableHuman Love the bottom left one where every single expression is the same emotion

@FoldableHuman I like how the third one is just 14 of the same angry face with different intensity levels. Very helpful

@FoldableHuman WTF do they need character sheets for when they're not actually using them as references for anything, and the AI will be completely inconsistent anyway???

@FoldableHuman "cargo cult programming" is probably the closest term for whatever this is but it's so much more general than programming at this point

@FoldableHuman Seeing iterative thoughtful tweets on the subject kind of makes me feel like you're in danger of talking yourself into the video you've already committed not to doing

@eyeznteef @FoldableHuman I also like the meaningless glyphs based on the labels between each face.

@FoldableHuman the fact that these AI-generated "expression sheets" all have garbled artist signatures on them too is a fun little reminder of what's going on

@CharaspowerAI This is not an expression sheet lol one of the characters just show anger the entire "drawing" if u wanna make actual characters learn how to draw

@CharaspowerAI fraud

@CharaspowerAI "I hope you create wonders" But its the program that does everything, what exactly do YOU create?

@CharaspowerAI Not one of these stolen drawings looks the same as it belongs to the same character.

@CharaspowerAI Trash
