Do some artists want tools to enable their vision faster? Or is there more value in slow art that reaches the same endpoint?
gdulli•5h ago
Yes, there are people everywhere who want to take shortcuts in life and do as little work as possible. They'd agree with the implication that this is only a matter of speed, they'd think it's plausible that they'd reach the same endpoint with profoundly different methods. They'd make up whatever justification necessary.

Not everything needs to be a race, and certainly not art.

Artists are expensive. The goal is to eliminate them ( just like with SWE).

"Gemini, generate a Picasso from those images. "

> "When I tried entering a prompt into Sora 2, it generated a succession of images of popular anime characters with such high quality that it was indistinguishable from the real thing," Shiozaki said in a blog post written days after Altman's Sora 2 note. "However, for some reason, characters whose rights are owned by major American companies, such as Mickey Mouse or Superman, did not appear."

So they know what they’re doing is wrong and they’ll just abuse the people who can’t sue them as easily?

Yeah that tracks.

It is indeed a vile practice, and it works every time. More money to them and almost complete impunity. Talk about a business model.

Yeah, that's Sam's MO -- overpower and abuse the little people.

If copyright industry is going to win this battle then it means nothing is going to stop their madness. The only way forward is abandoning human created content altogether same way open source software abandoned proprietary code and tools. Funnily enough AI output filtering that strictly removes any products of copyright industry might help with that.

Why not do it in the reverse - Japan has shortage of animators, why not use Sora instead to help them and increase productivity?
viraptor•1h ago
It's the creators' choice if they want to go that way. They could've used pose interpolation for quite a while. Going as far as Sora for it is an overkill. That doesn't solve the IP stealing issue in any way though.

So you get security to guard you warehouse from theft. Which is good.

But why not do it in reverse and buy stolen goods!
