He really is. I mean I fucking hate 3D animation and I hope it never catches on in Japan. It looks like shit. But fuck Miyazaki for sperging out on those guys. They are experimenting and trying to "create" something that pretentious oldfaggot is constantly bitching about. How nowadays everyone is a consumer and not a creator. Well Mr. Miyazaki you got 3 guys infront of you that are trying to revolutionize animation. He's being a hypocritical artfag. Only reason anyone takes his opinion seriously is because of how overrated his studio is.

Art is a reflection of the human condition, its not something that we should replace machines. Its the same as having a robot write a song. Sure we can do it but why?

The machine is not trying to communicate with us like an artist does. There is no conversation. We lose something of ourselves in the process when we give up that which makes us human. .

Nice borderline retarded comment there Miyazaki dick rider.

However unappealing 3D animation is, those three are trying to create something quite sophisticated. Calling them 'lazy fucks' shows your lack of understand of what an undertaking it would be to create an A.I. that can animate as good as a person without any direction. If they did this it could potentially change 3D animation for the better. Of course, it's a pipe dream in our current age but it's better than being a pretentious old artist and putting people down for trying something new.

There has never been a good point as to why 3D is inherently bad, trust me. I know some people bitch when it's overly done in 2D, but that's just because it wasn't incorporated well enough. All "arguments" against 3D are just muh feels and not muh 2D. The process of creating 3D well enough, like they do with Pixar, goes through the same process as 2D, perhaps a whole lot more, so the argument that it's not good enough just isn't valid.

To me they are lazy because they obviously aren't creative. Rather than do what it takes to become more creative, they would rather write a program like dull codemonkeys so they can tell the most primitive creativity-lacking stories possible.

They were demonstrating an AI that learned to walk on its own. The whole purpose of their display was to show how they could develop a program to do something.

Its the same with Googles AI they developed to write songs that emulate classic composers. Sure it may sound like them but their is nothing to it. The computer is not trying to convey any meaning like the original artist.

The work is hollow
>>
>>150774632

I can't necessarily agree with you because I haven't seen a good example of 3D even from Disney/Pixar. I just think it looks ugly.

The reason I got into anime is because I thought the style of 80s/90s anime looked cool and thought it was cool in motion.

Traditional animation is just more colorful, vibrant, full of imperfections but that is part of the appeal.

I think the only way to get me to like 3D animation is if they can blend it so seamlessly into 2D work that I don't even notice it.

It's not like Miyazaki hates all technology, he uses it for his movies sometimes. For exemple computer program was used in some scenes of Princess Mononoke with the demon god's worms. He just prefer to go by hand animation as much as he can.
It's hard to tell with only the short clip but their presentation didn't seem very well thought out.

In this particular context it is barely creative. How can you argue that it is? They clearly want to just automate certain people's jobs and they observe good animation as being something repetitive and easy to replicate with a machine, which is just not the case for anything above the most primitive works out there.

If you're defending those idiots you're advocating for lower quality standards in Japanese animation. Prepare to see more horrendous blunders like Berserk 2016.

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about, advanced and sophisticated IAs would prevent a blunder like Berserk 2016 while delivering animation at a nice quality and efficiently, so the humans can actually waste their time on actual creative stuff like planning the storyboard and direction.

>>

A sufficiently advanced AI could generate the stories and stories as well, so why do we need humans to write them? Taken to the extreme why do we even need humans to read them?

A human knows what suffering is so naturally they should be the ones who attempt to capture suffering in art. Art is a dialogue between the creator and the viewer. If you replace one with AI then it becomes a pointless endeavor. You are no longer producing art, you are producing a commodity.

I'm not defending their project. That shit looked like babies first step into Maya. Those kids looked like College Freshmen.

What I'm defending is their dream. Miyazaki didn't give out any constructive criticism for their project. All he did was get triggered and draw up a strawman argument about his crippled friend and how this somehow correlates to their project and trivializing crippled people.

I'm sure at one point in his life Miyazaki was seen as a maveric with radical ideas towards animation. Now he's the guy that puts down those kids with crazy ideas. Nobody is saying that it be great if animators are completely replaced by machines but it would be fascinating to see someone create an A.I. that is as sophisticated as a human being in terms of animation.

It's also worth noting that just because it's an A.I. doing the work doesn't mean the animation will look like Berserk 2016. An A.I. with a sophisticated drawing & animation algorithm could potentially replicate hours of human labor of hand drawn slides. It could be used to assist a human animator. Not replace them.

You aren't fooling anyone, codemonkey. We know you're just looking to automate and replace other peoples' jobs rather than provide more complex and better toolsets for artists.

If art is an expression and creating machines that can draw is an expression in itself, it is the expression of an age that lacks integrity and depends on automated systems to do things for them.

Another thing that is being underminded here is the impressiveness of an artist that goes above and beyond for his work. Seeing something that looks amazing and like it took an entire person's life to master their craft and be able to execute is impressive and is part of the experience of art. A very complex program is impressive too, but intellectually so. It's cool to see but it doesn't have the same effect, and the works created by it will not carry that same effect. We lose that part of the experience of art from machines. And that is a huge part of the experience, the biggest defining influence of the culture that surrounds art and continues to push it even higher. Eliminate that and you will see a drop in quality, not an improvement.

>A sufficiently advanced AI could generate the stories and stories as well, so why do we need humans to write them?
We don't need them, people will still write stories when they have something to tell, it won't ever stop, the ones that will be fucked will be the hacks that just write garbage to cash in, absolutely nothing of value will be lost.

Nice how you skipped over the point by the way, autistically drawing 200000 frames that are barely different from each other is not a creative endeavor, and I'm assuming in the future those will be the first jobs in the industry to be replaced when we get software that can do it with an optimal output quality

You're relating 3D animation to the shit you've seen until now because you're n ignorant fuck that doesn't realize that 3D animation nowadays is shit precisely because the algorithms are mediocre.
>>
>>150773662
I think one can vehemently disagree with Miyazaki's personal views while still respecting the work that he's made. Too many times in this fandom anime fans have this polarized view of Miyazaki where you have to have this unflinching adoration of him and it's a blasphemy to say anything negative about him. On the other hand, you have fans who despise Miyazaki the man so much that they can't even bring themselves to say one positive thing about his movies and they'll completely write off all of his filmography because of their ideological differences with him. I think either outright hatred or outright idolization of Miyazaki isn't healthy for anime fandom and we need to take a more nuanced view of Miyazaki's legacy. Having said that, given how well known Miyazaki's hatred of CGI is, I'm not sure why anyone would show him this barely finished project to try and change his mind on CGI. They should have at least showed him a finished product for him to be able to fairly judge it. On the other hand, I think Miyazaki is being entirely unreasonable in completely writing off any project like this based on this very short barely started work. I'm also not sure why Miyazaki brought up the point about his disabled friend but it was entirely awkward and frankly rather offensive of him to try and use the troubles disabled people go through to insult somebody' else's work. And you can just tell how much everyone in this room is now despising Miyazaki after his reaction to them.

They are not pointless, but they are not art. Humans create art. Its one of the ways we communicate with each other. It helps bridge the gap that every human faces when trying to understand the mind of another.

What is a machine trying to communicate to you when it creates a story, or draws a picture?

How do you define machine? How much automation involved so a work could not be called art? Are you saying cinema is not the 7th art? You're so wrong I don't know where to begin. Bash the idiots who use such bad quality engine, not the effort to create one.

In an interview in the July issue of “Neppuu”, the Studio Ghibli published pamphlet, the famed animator does not pull any punches when discussing the iPad, or what he calls the “game machine-like thing” that people are “stroking with strange gestures”.

“For me, there is no feeling of admiration or no excitement whatsoever,” Miyazaki said about the iPad. “It’s disgusting. On trains, the number of those people doing that strange masturbation-like gesture is multiplying.”

Inferiority complex is the soul of an artist. It's not that surprising that they would get triggered by the concept of an A.I. doing their work better than them.

If this AI becomes capable of delivering animation at a better quality than animators then it'll eventually happen and no one will complain.
The only reason people is against it is out of the absurd notion that human animation has some quality intrinsically related to the human condition that makes it unimitable by a machine, just because we haven't seen a machine capable of doing so yet.

One of the primary purposes of art is the artist trying to communicate something to the viewer. A machine could create an identical work but their is no communication with another human.

Half of what makes art great is the discussion that revolves around it. With a machine doing all the work there is no intent, nothing to discuss, beyond that the AI was programmed to generate something

You can't be fucking serious, dude. You don't know a god damn thing about art then.

To be clear, I do think that the end creation is what is most important. But an appreciation of the artist's methods and tools has always been a part of the appreciation of art. This is why people still like hand-crafted sculpture, physical pieces of art, architecture, works that took a human hundreds of hours to finish or hundreds of humans to finish, woodblock prints, etc. This is why there is the endless argument of authenticity in the art world among artists and art critics.

>people saying 3d anime is inherently shit

It's just that 99% of the time it's lazily done. It's possible to do well.

I've never actually watched webm related, but to me at least this looks well done, at least for the characters (watch the whole webm. The fact that they are 3d models doesn't stick out like a sore thumb because the filters and shaders flattens them out enough to blend them into the background, and the animation itself is nice and fluid instead of being choppy and stiff as balls as most 2d in anime is. In fact, what they are doing here would be outright infeasible with 2d animation.

Another good example, that I have seen for myself, is what cyberconnect 2 does. They make video games, not anime, but what they excel at is absurdly well animated cutscenes and attack animations, which is something that they could obviously just make an anime with.

Here's a 3d anime short they did for some animation festival: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-PudD1UrvU

A better example would be Asura's Wrath, which was a video game they did back in 2012 which was essentially just a interactive anime. The missions were called episodes, they had mid episode commercial bumpers, at the end, they had a "next time on" preview, and it was as much cutscenes and QTE's as it was gameplay. Despite it being absolutely medicore as a game, it was amazingly fun to watch just due to the absurdity of the animations and scale of what was going on. Even though it was still clearly 3d and would stick out as such purely as an anime, unlike the short above I think it would still be a good watch. They also do the Naruto games, which do have a flattened cel shaded look to them, which would work well as a 3d anime in style.

>>150774813
Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlRU_J5qYg0 ,k it's a companion short to the CC2 one. It's 3d, but most of the time you can barely tell it, and if you paused it, you wouldn't know it at all. It's not that amazingly animated, though.

Not true at all, since the 20th century there have been artistical movements like aleatoricism going against that belief, that's just what you care about, most people just care about the end result.

>Half of what makes art great is the discussion that revolves around it.
Instead of figuring out what the artist that made it wanted to say people will try to figure out what the guy that programmed the machine tried to say.
Not even an argument.

>You can't be fucking serious, dude. You don't know a god damn thing about art then.
Utterly ignorant, for centuries the importance of technique and skill has been slowly waning from art, precisely thanks to technology.
When you have machines that are capable of doing what you do, you can't count on impressing people with something as pointless as technique anymore, so you have to look into other ways, plenty of artistic movements on different mediums on the 20th century came from that (perhaps most notably in painting, thanks to photography).
People will be impressed at someone moving their hands fast on a piano, but ultimately won't care if they don't like how it sounds, the same with everything else, technique is ultimately irrelevant as long as it's good enough.

Niether of those are "anime" though, that's just a CGI film, like pixar movies.

Anyways, did you actually watch the entire webm? I have a hard time believing that you honestly think it looks bad. The shading on the models makes them not stick out super terribly in most shots, and the animation itself is very fluid.

The only parts of that that look bad to me is near the start where the crystal shatters, the shot from overhead when they are on the iron beam or whateer, and then towards the end looking at them from the side after the catgirl crashed.

Every other scene/shot looks great.

Aletoricism is just the introduction of randomness or chance into the art. It has nothing to do with elimination the artist attempting to communicate with the viewer.

I agree that Miyazaki was being a little too harsh on these guys, but Mckellen had good reason to start crying. He started as a theatre actor which requires playing off of the people around you.

But he had to sit in a little green screen room and just talk to himself while pretending he was surrounded by other actors. Relatively newer actors have little problem with this, but for someone who's been in this business as long as he was it was hard to do.

Most people have never actually been to a stage play so they have no idea how different an experience it is. Watching the actor live a performance in front of your eyes and seeing all the little changes and imperfections is beautiful.

Its so different from a movie that has been cut and spliced, not saying its better or worse, but its very different and not enough people appreciate the skill
>>
>>150776824
>Aletoricism is just the introduction of randomness or chance into the art.
Yes, and by adding random elements you're reducing the artist input into the final work, meaning that whatever message it had gets diluted.
Stuff like 4'33'' doesn't even have any artist input on it, it's just background noise.
>Just because you let your subconsciousness take over does not mean you are not trying to communicate something
What are you talking about? Adding elements out of the control of the composer isn't anything related to his subconsciousness.
One of the main points of aleatoricism was to make music composed with the environment, not out of a composer, it wasn't a human making a message, styling it up and delivering it as a piece of art, but the environment itself making the work of art out of pure randomness.

>We are not talking about tools to help an artist, we are talking about an AI that would eventually replace an artist
That other anon said that technique was one of the main draws of human artistry, something that is both shallow and wrong. Watching someone have good technique at something might be cool, but it's not different than watching someone do a cool trick that requires a ton of practice, it has jack to do with art.

Aside from the shots I mentioned, I really don't think it suffers from it at all. Yes, there's still a sense of mismatch, but not to the point where it's bad.

You need to keep in mind that part of the goal with animation is to have a sense of depth to begin with. To a degree, you want that sort of mismatch of layering. In that webm, aside from the particular parts I pointed out as bad, I feel like there's just enough of it that it adds a sense of depth preception, without being so severe that it's obviously 3d and out of place. It looks smooth and meshes well, at least to me.

For the Asura's Wrath webm and CC2 short I linked on youtube, yeah, that's certainly an issue, but I also don't thik that in their cases that's necessarily even a problem or a deal breaker. The animation itself in those is so engaging that, at least to me, it's not a problem/distracting.

What about the CG short from the other company I linked to?

Another possibility is that "soul" is a concept they conveniently borrowed under the logic that it would endow them with some sense of strength.

Well, maybe in those asura's wrath webms, it doesn't do a good job of showing it, but the game has impressively fluid facial animation. here's a better example in that department, though obviously the gameplay at the start of it isn't what you need to be paying attention to.

>Mechanical

Explain how it's mechanical, the animation is super fluid and the movements have an appropriate amount of weight and inertia to them, Way better then most 2d animation does, actually.

That's something 3d is actually good for, since you can do actual kinematics and physics simulations with it, as well as motion capture.

There is an argument to be made that the artificial nature of the 24fps allows the viewer to more easily suspend disbelief. 48fps is like looking the world, when you watch a movie at 48fps it almost looks hyper-real.

Expressive as in being expressed by an artist as opposed to synthesized by a machine. There is no human element and it doesn't feel like there's a human element. It's not about fluidity of movement or physics simulations, it's about creativity and beauty. Would you honestly want to watch a movie done up in Asura's Wrath's style? Would you be able to watch said movie and tell me it's as well animated as one of Miyazaki's films? CG has its place in a lot of things, like video games or the sciences, but not art.

the whole point of the animation was to produce something unsettling and uncanny for use in horror games or films. uncanniness is generally one of the only scary parts of a video game (horror games or otherwise), people can get comfortable plowing through jump scares but when something seems unintentional or breaking the rules it makes our brains freak out.

miyazaki wants to relate to real people in his works, it's only natural that he reacts this way against this stuff.
>>
So like how many people actually watched the video to see the specific reason why he felt offended by the model as a veteran animator and considering the things he and his generation tended to focus on when it comes to character movements. It's in there and pretty obvious but it seems like yet again /a/ is just making up it's own reasons for it's own convenience.

That's true, but that "soap oprea effect" is avoidable. I've seen footage of real life people taken at higher framerates where it's a non issue, wheras other times it does bug me, but usually after a few seconds my brain just fixes it for me and it just looks like normal video, just smoother.

The way you fix it is artificially adding in motion blur in post processing. I don't have a webm on me, but I saw one once that compares a hand waving back and forth in a game at different framerates with differing amounts of motion blurred applied.

At 60fps, the hand movement was unautally smooth, because in real life, with our actual vision, we have motion blur, wheras looking at a screen, no such motion blur exists unless it also is there in the footage itself. So it needs to be artifically added.

Currently, with most high framerate films, it's not, so that's why it looks like shit.

If you bother looking into music theory you will understand. Music is so limited that practically every song is copying another to a degree. The only way to break this limit is micro tunes but I haven't really heard any song do that. But shows and visual art break limits a lot more easily. You can follow formulas but you don't have to do so as strictly as with music and many also do not. Basically, it's fucking stupid to try compare machine made music to machine made art/tv.

Machines are useless for music. It's understandable to use machines to eliminate the more tedious animation work involved, but writing music? That's retarded.

This is literally wrong.
Popular music destined to the masses follow certain standards because those are what uneducated plebeians have shown to prefer, but that's no different from any other medium, the only genre of music that could be considered strictly defined by formulas/algorithms is serialism, the posibilities of music, especially contemporary music beyond the 20th century are as endless as anything else.

>In the end what you say is true but not true to your original point. Ultimately music is sound
Yes, the medium of music is sound.
This is why most "artistic IA" focus on music, because for a computer, sampling soundwaves and digitally altering them is mundany, they only have to worry about the logical layer but that doesn't mean is limited, the number of ways you can represent a mechanical wave are mathematically infinite.
>It's also odd to have a robot limited to what it's programmed with to try and make limitless music.
Well that's the ultimate point of IA, making a robot that is capable of self-writing his behaviour pattern, to act in ways that the developers didn't originally predict.
That's essentially the main difference between human and computer, we can willfully act against our hard-wired instincts, a computer as it is right now will never act beyond the scope of their algorithms.

Cant wait for him leeching $ that could be used to realize an actual fresh and original idea.

Instead we get another rehash from that senile fuck that so generic, lifeless and devoid of any appeal that nobody will watch it or ever discuss it outside of its initial release.
Seriously, Spirited away was the last movie of his i even remotely found any enjoyment in, and even then it dindt exactly blow me away. I was more impressed with the visual side of the movie rather than anything Miyazaki was involved with in it.
But hey, no matter what piece of shit he produces next it will every award in japan as people desperately will try to dig him out of obscurity and gain some critic cred.

If you are too stupid and technology illiterate to understand what can be the applications of self learning a computer algorithms then why the fuck should you even comment on it? And why should anybody find your opinion worthwhile? Just fuck off back to your coffin.
This is why i hate Japanese culture.
Juts look at those afraid beta males just sitting there and watching this old senile fuck criticize their work while he produces his childrens entertainment while the person in front of him brings the human race one step forward.
Call the old fart out on his crap, dont just take it, speak your mind. Fuuuuck. Its so aggravating to watch in what the state are modern men in.

And fuck your friend Miyazaki, stick your crappy sob story up your ass, nobody cares. What you gonna do, draw him a picture?
Smart men like those in front of you heal disease and might one day make him walk again. Show some respect.

Another video that makes me think even less of modern Japanese society, thanks op.

Just like everything in Japan, they only pretend. Old people are not respected as fuck. Sure everyone has to be polite to you but everyone also secretly admits old people fucking suck and hates your guts. Old people are only superficially respected, which is why at the end of the day these developers are going to go back to making whatever they're making and bemoan that their stupid CEO made them show this to Miyazaki who wouldn't appreciate because he's a dumb old fuck they hate and hate having to pretend to respect

>>150784049
>Why do you watch anime then? Out of curiosity.
I'm watching it less and less recently, since I'm starting to see how limited it is not only in its animation quality, but also in things like storylines, presentation etc. Fuck, most anime stories out there might as well be live-action due to how small they take advantage of their medium other than that occasional scene.

And let's not get started about how hugely homogenized the general artstyle is, and how much of the same expressions and body language are used over and over. Say what you will about the "CalArts shit" persistent in western TV cartoons nowadays but even the shows using such a style have done more interesting variations on it in comparison.

>Or are you just saying the average animated film is bland looking regardless of the tools used to make it?
Yeah, pretty much. Regardless of whether it's 2D or 3D, chances are that most films will suffer from the same art style plague anime does as it's mostly just the same dime store Disney crap time after time.
>>
>>150773662
>Being moving by using his head
>has no concept of pain

Miyasaki wasn't triggered because it's "unsensitive to his friend" or new, he was disgusted because it produces animation without any kind of personality or feeling. Doesn't matter if it's a zombie that has no thought process or preservation instinct: it has to transmit something to the audience beyond "that looks weird and gross". Even in present day most zombie movies show them struggling, falling and moaning, as it gives a sense of suffering. The logic behind that animation test is the same that made the zombie-waves in WWZ so ridiculous.

There is nothing stopping the human element from continuing to create its own artwork even if AI reaches a point where it is capable of delivering results of comparable quality.

Consider rewatching favourites or watching a classic instead of what's airing, maybe? I find this mentality common among those who forget that anime has been big for many decades before the 90s. There's a ton of proper great animation from Japan, but most of it is very old. How much world animation do you watch? Every time I doubt animation I rewatch a Frederic Back film and I'm totally renewed.

He was talking about how those lazy guys let an AI make spook animation for the sake of random spooks and how they are stupid enough to think the random production of an AI is worth it.

Is that what they were trying to do? I honestly don't see the practicality behind what they showed. An AI that learns on its own how to move with the joints we give it — that's what they were showing, right? How does THAT become something that can draw pictures? They seem to actually want AI to replace artists, but they don't seem to realize that an AI won't possess any artistic vision until it is complex enough to be its own human being, which we are far off from achieving.

Why do people hate 3DCG so much? It doesn't look quite as "natural" as pure 2D animation, but done right, it can make up for it's drawbacks by looking amazing. For example, a well done fight scene in 3DCG is always choreographically superior to a 2D scene. I've always enjoyed 3DCG, the lack of 2D art never seemed like a major problem to me. Regardless, it's fucking retarded how many idiots don't understand or appreciate technology. Fuck, I bet the people who hate 3DCG are exactly the same kind of people who said electronic music wasn't real music. It's not the tool, but the artist, that matters. If it doesn't have good qualities about it, it's not the tools, fault but the artists.

Also, it's naive to think AI is any different from any other living being. There's no reason an AI can't learn, and make itself better, just as humans did. At the end of the day, there's no fundamental difference between a mind that lives in a metal framework, and a mind that lives in a flesh and bone framework. AI is simply a sentient entity created artificially, by the logic of people ITT AI humans should never have been able to advance at all because it wasn't inherently ingrained in us. A true AI will have learning systems that allow it to take in new knowledge. For all we know, we've already created sentient AI that are just as aware as a human. Because all that was required for humans to be sentient was a certain type of programming that allowed us to expand on new information, in fact this is likely the basis of being conscious. If we've created something that can truly learn and better itself, than we have likely already created new beings.

Now, maybe he is wrong on that part, more than likely is. But being wrong =/= being retarded here. His response is normal and understandable and there's definitely an aspect of truth to it. Every advancement in technology creates new values in the world but also loses some. An old man being concerned about the ones being lost is normal. What you should think more about doing is growing up so you don't get so angry over what an old man has to say about things.

Because in this business world it is easier to make 3dcg, 3dcg with pixar has already killed 2d in the west, 2d in the west is never coming back except in maybe kickstarters or something.

So if 3dcg ever takes of in Japan then 2d animation is dead F O R E V E R, with only 2d being nico nico and youtube projects.

Thankfully Japanese otaku are diehard anime lovers and really want to adhere to a higher art even if it means you get shit pay at a bad work place. And thankfully many studios are run by genuine people who actually like anime rather than thinking of it as just a source of money.

It's easier to make for people who don't care, but for those who want to make a quality work, it is a canvas infinitely bigger than 2D. More shitty stuff will be made, yes, but thew good stuff will be god-tier. Great 3DCG fight scenes can be way better than 2D fight scenes. That doesn't mean 2D doesn't still have a purpose, but the truth is someone who would only use 3DCG for the purpose of shitting out bad and cheap products wouldn't have been making god-tier anime if they had been using 2D instead.

The cheapness and scope of 3D only expands the art world, it doesn't limit it.

You just need to get your heads out of your asses. It's smooth, fluid, and the characters are always on model. That cannot be said for most 2D anime now. You all hate it because it doesn't "feel" like 2D, and you're used to that. In your mind, a "good" animation is sup[posed to have all the visual cues as drawn animation. You have to adapt your mind to intake this new information. So it doesn't have the exact same gritty, paced feel as hand drawn anime from the 90s? So what, just because it's different doesn't mean it's bad.

For you to be so buttblasted over this you must have received harsh criticism from an older peer of yours at one point in your life. That or you really are an autist. Either way, you should chill out, because this isn't that serious.

>The fuck does this even mean? Lost values, like what?

As in our values change as technology changes. Our expectations change. It's black and white right fucking there in the video. Miyazaki, a 75 year old man, shows disgust in the idea of an AI replacing humans to create art. Meanwhile, the younger generation around him does not see the issue he sees. His values are different from theirs; he appreciates different things. And that is because they are from drastically different generations.

Since you're defending those kids you probably don't give much of a shit about someone who spent years mastering their craft to create something. Does Hokusai's woodblock prints mean anything to you? Does it matter to you that they are printed on woodblocks, or are you just looking at the pictures themselves and getting quickly bored? That is the difference in values from one generation to another and how technology impacts our expectations, because it makes greater things possible, but it also changes our perspective on what to focus on (since it automates and simplifies things that were previously very difficult to achieve). We can manufacture something like a woodblock print easily now, but in the early 1800s, that would have been a really special and inspiring thing to see. And that's just one example.

Right, this shit is mass produced and sterile. Get 10 great traditional animators to draw the same scene and they'll all look different. Get 10 great CG animators to do the same scene and they'll all churn put the same thing. It's not a creative process anymore. Who are your favourite CG animators anon?

Pay attention to the cut where he's first sent through the trees. Then look at the one where he's sent flying after the last kick, and notice that he bounces off the ground to show a sense of weight and doesn't need to shake and spin the camera all around to try to achieve that effect, because the animator doing that scene had enough talent to get the point across otherwise. That kind of flair is utterly absent from CG.

Some 3DCG fights look amazing. Again, you're saying the 3DCG fights are "bad" because of elements that are different from 2D. What's wrong with slow downs for impact? Nothing.

The thought of being able to design an AI that could put everyone out of their jobs or even replace humans, is amazing. We would have created something that's better at what we do than ourselves. But as a person, that's scary.

The next logical step would be to then to find a way to convert ourselves into such an existence, and keep progressing.

I never said I didn't like ANIMATION, I've been animating things myself in my free time since I was a little kid. But I care more about the product and not the process. If it's good to me in the end, I don't care who made it. If it was made by an artist I like, great, but it wouldn't be any more or less good done by an artist I don't like or don't know.

Anyone who thinks art cant be automated is retarded straight up. There are many small patterns which people find appealing. Machines can be taught to utilize those patterns. Look at something like Infinite Stratos. It's so generic it's painful. All the character archetypes have been done a thousand times already. All the character designs are fairly generic (look at the hundreds of Houkis for example). The plot is extremely generic. Infinite Stratos could totally be made by machines in 10 years.

It DOES look like crap.

I think AI can help animators do the menial, repetitive work like drawing inbetween frames between two hand-drawn ones. Or you color one frame and it tries its best to follow your example for the next few frames. Kind of like waifu2x. But thinking that it can do the animation for you is retarded.

>As in our values change as technology changes. Our expectations change. It's black and white right fucking there in the video. Miyazaki, a 75 year old man, shows disgust in the idea of an AI replacing humans to create art. Meanwhile, the younger generation around him does not see the issue he sees. His values are different from theirs; he appreciates different things. And that is because they are from drastically different generations.

Hes just a n asshole and technologically illiterate. Ignorance isnt something new or lost to use, its an universal human nature.
Hes not disgusted since its too bizarre for him, hes faked disgust is to cover for his own stupidity and inability to see any applications for what is show to him, yet alone to understand how its made.

Thats not an example of changing values of a society. Replacing one form of media with another, or one art form with another dosnt change the fact people still get impressed with ones creativity and mastery of a craft.

We are never going to be able to do that. Humanity is flawed, humans are flawed, what we create is flawed and that is the beauty of humanity. It is never the same, it is different every single time because we are not perfect and we make up for that with interpretations and personality.

I agree that programmers are not the best at creating 'human' images like this or what Miyazaki was saying. It takes a human to understand the effort of something like he was describing, not everything like a obligatory idle stance or breathing animation, but actions.

It's a lot like the difference between Japanese animation in games and Western studios in action games. Japanese animation tends to favor spectacle, inertia and speed while Western studios usually go for a very blunt animation. "Buff guy swings a sword!"

That's completely irrelevant to the disscusion. It's not a matter of if it will replace 2d or not. The Question is if it looks good or not. He's asking why people said no, and thus far, the only actual, non bullshit response anybody has given is that "It's still causing an unantural seperation between the charaters and the background".

>Get 10 great traditional animators to draw the same scene and they'll all look different. Get 10 great CG animators to do the same scene and they'll all churn put the same thin

There's literal proof that's that BS in this thread, compare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-PudD1UrvU with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlRU_J5qYg0 . Two CG animation studios, the same basic prompt, the same characters, made for the same event, vastly different results both in terms of the storyboard and in terms of actual animation style and general look and feel.

Per your point of why people can't name particular CG animatiors, the reason is because... They are also 2d animators. CG animation is storyboarded the exact same way 2d animation is most of the time, and the characters are usually drawn by 2d artists firsts as concept art, the same as in 2d animation. It's just after that step, everything else is made using 3d models/animation tools to match the art, vs just the actual frames being drawn via 2d. The actual animation directors and all that are the exact same people who would otherwise be working on or doing, or in many cases, STILL do 2d work to begin witth.

The actual talent involved is the same, the only change in terms of the people working on it is instead of handing off the actual work after that to korean contractors or junior artists as with 2d anime, it's handed off to 3d contract companies that occupy the same niche (except they do a better job, since they only need to get the model right once, vs with the koreon studios having off model shots all the time) or specific 3d arists in the studio, who, again, occupy the exact same niche, and like them, will eventually be promoted to animation directors themselves and will be recongized for their talent if they git gud.

why do you think codemonkey is an insult that you can throw around? it's a class of tech people

as for the rest of your post, it must be said that what makes art 'art' isn't something as minor as how the work is created. It's the attention to detail, the creative mind of the person behind the work

does it matter if the artist used a generative process to fill in the details of his work if the highest amount of effort and attention to quality was executed?

Since Miyazaki is a celebrity and he need to stuck his dumb face everywhere he goes.
So when he visited the IT company they showed him that as part of some presentation while cameras fallowed him around to show how smart he is while he gives amazing insightful commentary based on his 30 years of experience in programming and AI developmnt ...

They chose to present it to him. It's on them. Miyazaki is not in the wrong for saying what he thought of it; by choosing to present to him they were basically asking him to comment on it. What do you want him to do, fucking lie?

>hes faked disgust is to cover for his own stupidity and inability to see any applications for what is show to him, yet alone to understand how its made.
I don't agree with your interpretation. It's too cynical and doesn't paint the full picture.

Yeah, he probably didn't grasp what he was shown. He does not understand what the newer generation is doing or how their work is equally as hard as his, he just sees the parts of their lives that were tough for him but are now made easier thanks to newer technology having automated it for them.

He also has decades more experience than them. He has worked hard and he is no longer easily impressed. Feigning disgust with that motive in mind is too complex for an old guy. He appreciates different things than they do and is not impressed by what they are doing.

>Dont know, dont care.
Thanks for basically proving my point on values changing over time. It takes someone who is more of a historian to even know about something like those prints because they are that irrelevant now.

But why are you responding then if you don't care? Your opinion is worthless on anything this thread is about if you don't care about the history of art, doing a little research or trying to understand what is being discussed.

Want an example? Watch Shin Godzilla, and Giant God Warrior Attacks Tokyo. Both are directed by Anno, and both clearly ooze his influence, yet instead of being 2d animated, one's all puppetry and pratical effects, and one's CG/Live action. The medium is just that: a medium. The talent and style will shine through regardless provided you actually have somebody competent doing it.

In short, you are blatently mischaracterizing not only how CG animation is made, but also 2d animation. It's rarely just 10 guys on equal levels all working on the same thing. It's a single animation director, maybe 2, making all the actual shots and decisions of how shit will look and play out, and then people under them making that happen. Same with 3d as it is with 2d as it is with claymation or stop motion. It's ALWAYS, no matter what the final medium, rooted and starts with 2 storyboards and concept art because it's way, way easier to draw up a sketch and refine it or start over then it is to do the same with a 3d model or animation or sculpture.

Similarly, the people who do the conceptual work or actually draw art or make the 3d models all go through the same process regardless of what medium the work on: They have portofolios they fill with original work they thought of or work they did for past projects, and then the send that to studios, and then they work on whatever the actual talent and heads of the studio are doing for them, and if they aren't fired right after the project is done since they are super dispoable, they MAYBE have a shot of becoming somebody actually calling the shots in the future there. Same process and preocedure for getting hired and moving up the ranks for 2d and 3d.

You've seen the images showing how different animation directors and their junior animatiors drew characters in DBZ on a per episode basis? How certain directors led to different proportions for characters? The exact same effect is shown in the two CG shorts.

Sure the shorts are different in terms of animation style, but only as a whole compared to each other. All the animators in their respective shorts are bound to one unified style as it's harder to develop an individual style in CG animation due to the animation process being even more fragmented. In 2D animation, the animator is responsible for the model, movement, and layout. Sometimes they even have a say in coloring and lighting.

3D animators focus on making the movement from the models done by the modelers instead, that's already less room for individuality than 2D animation.

I agree with this sentiment. But, I have to remark that your first statement is far better than what's happening here. CG Animation is a completely different skillset, but it's one that still allows for creative input from the modeler and the animator. While it cuts out traditional animators, it creates a new breed of animators.

Deep Learning AI does not. It's a machine learning actions according to goals, successes, failures, and evaluations of attempts. But there is a line between automating a craft and automating creativity. The neural network that learned how to tag illustrations by viewing millions of images on danbooru, for instance, compares patterns in images until it knows the difference between panties, pantyhose, and panties_under_pantyhose. That is a craft. Lots of tedious work done to provide a good service. Automating creativity is different though. Any job can have its share of "creativity", but when we automate to become "more productive", it's usually in utility. Printing press? Utility. Need more paper to write on. Telephone operators? Faster communication. Product production? Accuracy, safety, consistency.

But what happens when you automate anime creation? Game development? Story writing? Poetry? What happens when you try to make entertainment "more productive"? You just get more products. You have a new content creator that adds to the flood of content. Is it more creative? Who knows. Probably not, its work is based on shit from the past. Does quality go up? Subjective, but the AI can learn from your tastes and create things based on your ratings. It probably will over time.

There is no "new breed of creator" that comes into play here. It's a machine that outputs content based on desires with no need of human skill nor method. We free up the creative's time to create, but what else does he even desire to do? He was already a homeless bum on the street. What did you change? Where does humanity become more productive in this?

Real ironic you are calling me stupid when you eiether didn't even bother to read the posts or are too dumb to understand what i'm saying.

Take a look at it again, i'll even cut out the unrelated stuff just so it's easier to understand:

>CG animation is storyboarded the exact same way 2d animation is most of the time, and the characters are usually drawn by 2d artists firsts as concept art, the same as in 2d animation....The actual animation directors and all that are the exact same people who would otherwise be working on or doing, or in many cases, STILL do 2d work to begin witth....

Wether the final product is 2d or 3d, the actual storyboards, IE, the shot composition, how things will animate and flow into each other, the keyframes, all of the ACTUAL IMPORTANT SHIT THAT MAKES GOOD ANIMATION, is done ahead of time before anything else in 2d. That's the step where actual animation directors influence the project, and they are equally involved in the exact same capacity regardless of if the final output is going to be in 2d or 3d or done with puppets or even in live action.

I meant more along the lines of, given an exact storyboard to follow, two animators would produce different results due to their idiosyncrasies, human imperfections etc. - things that are lost in CG. I'm sure a big reason that it took off in the West is because it produces that kind of consistency despite a large team, but I don't believe that's a good thing.
>CG animation is storyboarded the exact same way 2d animation is most of the time, and the characters are usually drawn by 2d artists firsts as concept art, the same as in 2d animation

>instead of handing off the actual work after that to korean contractors or junior artists as with 2d anime, it's handed off to 3d contract companies that occupy the same niche
Right, right. Because cuts were just "handed off" to Otsuka or Mori, Kanada or Imaishi. The work was already done, they just needed to turn it into drawings. Seriously?

On the same project? Their output will probably be pretty uniform. Look at modern Disney, no one celebrates CG animators because they've been reduced to becoming just another cog in the machine. They have no room to express individuality unlike their 2D animation counterparts. Back then guys like Glen Keane, Mark Henn, or James Baxter were praised for their skills as animators as their work would stand out from the rest of the film but it's nearly impossible for a 3D animator to stand out when all he has to do is make some models move. It's a far more limited scope than what 2D animators had to do when each frame had to be made from scratch.

No, not to the extent that there would be using traditional methods. Forgive my analogy, analogies are always shit and irrelevant, but think about it like this: if you give a number of painters the exact same paints, canvas etc. and sit them down in front of the same landscape they'll turn up different works. Give this same landscape to a bunch of CG artists and they'll all render it in more or less the same way. Does that make sense? Do you disagree?

A majority of those are inbetween frames, not much creativity going on there.

In fact the more you try to "express yourself" the more jarring it becomes and fuck the whole flow.

Not every frame is drawn by Miyazaki or Imaishi or whoever. Most of it is almost entirely mechanical.

>>150793858
I don't think that's accurate, because you are making a generalization about the layout of art teams that I don't think is correct. Depending on the specifics of the project, either setup you described could be the case regardless of if the final result will be 2d or 3d. If you have a 2d team animating an existing manga, for example, then the thing you brought up about how there's less freedom for the underlings to devolp their own style is true, because there's already set character designs and to an extent, a "storyboard" in the sense of the manga panels to follow. In that situation, you actually WANT to be there to be as little variance in style as possible. Alternatvely, it'

On the other hand, for smaller CG teams, there are definately cases where the people doing the storyboarding, modelling and character designs and animations are all the same group of people and there's wiggle room for stylistic devolpment. Even if it is the exact situation you describe for a CG studio anyways, there's still a degree of collbarotion and experimention for people outside of that role to pitch suggestions. It'd be even easier for 3d then for 2d since for 3d it's just a matter of changing the render settings or shaders or the animation files, hitting play/doing a test render, and then either deciding "yeah that works" and sticking with the change, or hitting the undo button.

I agree, but I'm saying there are large parts of the work that can be computerized and you won't lose even a fraction of that.

Again, I'm talking about "animation" - the art of movements that are drawn - nothing else. Of course CG teams can come up with creative layouts and character designs or whatever, but the movement itself is generated, not drawn.

What would you have computerized? Inbetweens? Colouring? I dunno man, I don't buy it. I think it could only ever be considered good in the context of cost or time saving. I'm more of a romantic when it comes to the arts so I prefer not to think of those things; my general opinion (and I think what Miyazaki believes) is that creative activities should not be considered an obstacle or a pain in the ass to get out of the way, but parts of the process that should be given the time and attention they deserve.
>>
>>150795096
You do realize before the press there were people whose job was to manually copy text, right?

And I still can't understand how someone can think an AI that learns to draw can be a bad thing.

If you want personality you can probably hire your favourite artists to draw concept art for the series and teach the machine to draw like that. And noone said you have to use that as a final result, you can go back and fix things you do not like manually.

The ability to replace animators is important though it allows the machine to do the boring parts faster and better than the underpayed koreans, and allows for good writers who do not know how to animate to express their creativity.

As >>150795415 says though it won't happen in a long time.

I disagree about your point on teams working with adapting an existing property such as manga. Firstly, storyboards don't have to follow the manga panels and any director worth his salt will make appropriate changes in adapting things to the animated medium. Of course, this is applicable in both 2D and 3D animation.

Now with as for the designs themselves, it's not much of a barrier to drawing creativity when 2D animators are given free reign to interpret the designs. It's not uncommon to see anime episodes with talented animators having scenes that look different in terms of drawing style. Look at Hiroshi Ikehata's episode 37 of Zettai Karen Children for instance. It's a manga adaptation, but that didn't stop the likes of Jun Arai, Hironori Tanaka, and Hokuto Sakiyama imposing their personal drawing styles on their scenes. In 3D animation, it would be a lot harder to apply individual styes across scenes due to the animation process being fragmented across modeling, texturing, animating, and lighting departments. 2D animators on the other hand have a lot more control over their scenes.
>>
>>150793858
>In 2D animation, the animator is responsible for the model, movement, and layout. Sometimes they even have a say in coloring and lighting.

It is strange how you are implying that the same isn't true for 3D even if a 3D animator is stuck with one model (protip: they aren't) that still leaves movement, layout, coloring, and lighting which can literally all be changed even in the middle of making a scene. Lights are virtual and can be moved shaders can give a completely different feel with a few variable changes, layout and movement are even easier to mess with when you have a well designed 3D model and a virtual stage with a camera that can be freely adjusted to give the desired effect.
>>
>>150795522
Inbetweens, to an extent. There's no room for creativity in that process and ideally should only serve as a stepping stone for young animators to hone their line control before being promoted to key animation.

>Give this same landscape to a bunch of CG artists and they'll all render it in more or less the same way. Does that make sense? Do you disagree?
I do in fact disagree. I understand where you're coming from, but assuming the CG animators are starting from scratch without any premade objects to use, it will vary. They will still imprint their own artistic image in their work. Especially with a medium like anime which is already removed by several degrees of realism from the original, and for the better, variance will change. If you told the CG animators to make it look as photographically realistic as possible, it would be much more similar. But if you use the same parameters for exaggeration and deviation from the original, or basis, as anime, I believe you will get works just as varied. The way in which they are different will not be the same, but it will still be just as different. This is assuming the CG artists have the same variance among each other as the painters. I do understand that because CG allows for more precision, it won't be quite as varied, but it also allows the variances in the good traits of the artists to be amplified. For example, no one will have an eye look wonky, or an arm look out of shape, but the the individual "visions" they have for the work will be even more pronounced. Because CG allows for more precision, it means that artists will not be limited by the medium as much. a painter can only use paints and brush strokes, but the CG artist can you absolutely any shape he can think up. Mind you, I do love hand drawn animation, a lot. I understand why everyone loves hand drawn and is skeptical of CG, but I also can see that CG has many good aspects of it's own.

The drawing part might take a long time, but we can take shortcuts in the style part.

Right now we have pretty good methods based on somewhat simple techniques, in the future we will probably be able to extract the style from a couple of concept art drawings.

Nobody even claimed that artists will be replaced by machines; they're honestly the last professionals that should worry about being replaced. At the very worst illustrators will be.

In most cases, the output of a machine is never gonna be the final product when used by companies that aren't hacks. It will take consultation and manual tweaking from experts in the field.

Computer scientists work hard to advance new tools for the benefit of a variety of fields. It isn't lazy to offer to new tools and methods, even if companies will use them poorly.

The grotesque animation is a work in progress, which I hope most of you understand. What you may not know is that it takes a long time of feeding AI information for it to recognize and develop the patterns it needs to function gracefully.

Check the credits from any CG production next time. Even Disney or Pixar will do just fine.

>I don't know how you can possibly believe this when 2D animation is much harder to change when you don't like the result.
That does not go against my claim at all. 2D animation is pretty much done from scratch for each frame which makes it harder to reshoot. Any scenes with unsatisfactory animation will have to be done all over again whereas 3D animators are more like puppeteers where they just need to animate the models an not worry about making another model from scratch.

Which as done by different people. 3D animation is even moreso the combined effort of multiple people so it's harder for an individual to project his style onto a scene in a whole project. The 3D workflow necessitates more style unity.

Additionally, there already exist computer-generated design methods that aren't actively replacing any designers, but are instead providing designers with tools that can offer variety or a unique experience. Admittedly, these things apply more to interactive media, but at the same time the people in the video offer games as a potential use of this technology anyway.

>>150796357
I think this particular case is on the wrong track. The best 3D won't look like 2D, the quality might be very good but it's not the same product. There are ways to make tools that actually assist 2D animation, but building them on top of 3D animation isn't one of them.

If these guys had made an automatic inbetweener or rough colorer that is specifically made to cater to 2D animators I'm sure Miyazaki would be a lot more receptive. But they're already starting down the wrong path.
>>
>>150796322
Yep, we are not quite there right. But the NLP crowd is looking pretty hard for ways to combine deeplearning with long term dependencies.
And when the crowd of artificial vision finally solve it they will probably jump to the video train, it's the logical step.

I like many different genres.

Computers will never make artists obsolete and will never compete with them because they lack the human element. They can only replace simpler things like elevator music. They will never replace musicians like David Bowie or Jeff Beck, Black Sabbath or Queen, Stevie Ray Vaughan or Miles Davis, Mozart or Beethoven, etc. Maybe you think I'm being silly for bringing this up, but I am starting to wonder if people really do think computers will some day make artists obsolete. If so, I'm sorry to hear how ignorant you are of higher art.
>>
>>150796598
The latest NLP models can barely process more than 20 words in sequence without freaking out, and this is with stuff like attention networks. Imagine this for hundreds of frames.

It's possible that something revolutionary might happen in the near future, but judging by the tools we have and whatever incremental upgrades might happen, the mountain's higher than we think.

But you're wrong. Look at it in practice. We have animators and schools of animation, and animation techniques that people recognize because of the skill and vision the animator. No one watched CG and thinks "Oh man, there's that signature distorted style with lots of stretching and think black outlines the characters that X animator uses for action scenes." it's always just "Oh look, the camera is spinning around because it's easy to do that on a 3D background." CG doesn't lend itself to actual creativity like hand drawn does, only cheap camera manipulation make up for a lack of style.

Feel free to hit me with actual counter examples instead of quoting a blog you read about how CG is totally legit and a comparable artistic process.

It would have to be indistinguishable from a human. An imitation of a human being on the molecular level with the opportunity to grow and live in society from childhood to adulthood just as humans do. In short, it has to be a human, not an AI.
>>
>>150797038
If by, human element, you mean a dude on stage then sure but otherwise, AI will get close to the same level if not above the level of most musicians.
Its only a matter of time.
And don't get me wrong human artist will stick around forever and make great stuff for generations to come. I just think that at some point AI will either argument them (composing, songwriting) or be in direct competition to them.

Just look at vocaloids, a few decades ago people would call you crazy if you would tell them that a singing computer could fill a stadium but here we are.
>>
>>150797038
>Computers will never make artists obsolete and will never compete with them because they lack the human element.

Musicians and music are two very different things.

If the thing you like about music is rockstars or celebrity then sure no computer algorithm will ever be able to consume cocaine and alcohol at their level. But if you are talking purely about music then there is no real reason why human "creativity" cannot be surpassed by the proper application of algorithms and RNG.

The music made by your list of favorites is simply the inputs (language, culture, musical influences, style, genre etc.) fed through the human machine and then output through the tools at hand (voice, instrument, modulation).
It is the extremes of hubris on your part to think that there is some spark that makes human music that can't be simulated in a way to make it indistinguishable from machine made music.

This means all you need to turn machine music into a worldwide sensation is to get a particularly (charismatic) human to sing the lines written by a computer. You can even let the computer play bass because nobody will notice if the bassist is replaced by a animatron bolted to the floor.
>>
>>150797775
Actually a fair sentiment, I feel. AI is only going to work off existing patterns. Art should be concerned with continually finding new means of expression, as machines will be able to emulate (even if poorly) a well-established style.

No, if anything what vocaloid is instrumentalizing (is that even a word) Vocals. You still need a good human to arrange the voice.

>>150798171
An AI could most certainly sequence her voice in a pattern that matches common vocals, but it would be utterly unintelligible without a very long time of teaching it both musical patterns and speech/language patterns.
>>
>>150798025
>>150798330
Also vocaloid vocals are pre recorded. I'm still waiting for one madman to arrange on the fly live.

>If by, human element, you mean a dude on stage then sure but otherwise, AI will get close to the same level if not above the level of most musicians.
What a rudimentary understanding of musicians. The artists I named were not just "dudes on stage". Their artistry is to be recognized in their cultural relevancy of their respective times, the technical and creative boundaries they pushed in their medium, the principles and techniques they redefined, AND the beautiful music that they produced (made beautiful because of what they express and communicate through it; something relatable to humans). That is all what the "human element" includes there. Computers aren't human; they LACK all of that.

>>150797887
>But if you are talking purely about music then there is no real reason why human "creativity" cannot be surpassed by the proper application of algorithms and RNG.
Computers don't understand the human condition because they aren't human yet. That is a real reason why they will never surpass us. If I heard a song generated entirely by a program singing about some tragedy, I wouldn't take it seriously because I know what wrote it isn't even human. What would it know about tragedy? Or any other emotion for that matter.

And it would also not impress me. Computers don't "work hard" like humans do. Generating the song would not "take effort" for it in the way that we understand effort. That is another aspect of the experience of great art.

Beauty is precisely that which we find pleasurable. Higher pleasures cannot be replicated by a computer. They can only satisfy people with low quality standards of art that just want to hear something like >>150796610 something mind numbing and lacking anything that is really human in quality.
>>
>>150798426
If I get what you're saying, a human is someone/thing that understands the human condition regardless whether it's organic or just a mass of silicone?
>>
>>150798592
See >>150797827

Basically. But in order for it to understand that condition it can't just be a mass of silicone. It needs to simulate everything that makes us human.

>Miyazaki generating shitposting like no others
Always based.
>>
>>150798426
>>150798655
I get your point but what if you don't know that the song was written and composed by an advanced AI and simply performed by humans, could you really always tell the difference?

also what about mass media, where lower quality standards are arguably the norm.

>defending them this hard

They literally went in there asking to be spat at their faces.

AI will never be able to replace human animation because it doesnt have a human brain nor the factors that this one has.
The unpredictability, passion, angle buests etc.
For AI animation to even be able to happen first you need to make actual AI that works, like a Roboto or something like that.

What a waste of time and resources.
>>
>>150799289
so how about giving the AI what it should animate
something that shows the important parts of the scene and what is suppose to happen, what the setting is, what kind of angle you want and how the "camera" is moving something revolutionary i call it Storyboard.

Machines can think in a way different to our own, I think that's cool and worth exploring.

>What would it know about tragedy? Or any other emotion for that matter.

Plenty of humans sing about things only having gotten their knowledge from popular culture. Most songs across the genre spectrum (country, rap, emo, hardcore) are fiction or distorted reality or written by some white guy in an office. Claiming that it muh human condition is BS.

All i have to do is write a story about how my musician(AI) grew up in poverty and took some hard knocks and you will eat that shit with a shovel.

>work hard

What about a piece of music that a human worked really really hard on but sounds like shit? Can you say that you would enjoy that more than something that sounds great but wasn't human?

>Beauty cant be replicated by a computer.

Comes off as really funny when written on the board that invented the 3DPD meme.

>mind numbing and lacking anything that is really human in quality

One more thing in common with computers and humans; both are great at making mind numbing bullshit.
