Man, this is fucked.
Just two months ago, we were all jumping for joy at Sora getting killed off, and now animators are doubling down on using AI in their stuff, one of whom, Jorge Gutierrez of The Book of Life fame, people are particularly pissed about. How the hell did we go from 'Yay, Sora's dead,' to this crap in two months?!
I'll never use AI in my own stuff, however, I mean for one, it's unethical to do so on multiple fronts, and two, I'm very much an analog artist to begin with as far as creating with real materials goes; digital of any sort just doesn't have the same sensory feedback as using real materials to create with.
