Neurodiverse voice actor and techie currently voicing Caine in #TheAmazingDigitalCircus! He/Him. LOUD BOI. Opinions are my own. PFP by Floating Megane!
It's impossible to scream at artists on the internet loud enough to make them answer accurately if a huge project involved AI or not You're not Batman. Most of them are just individuals doing their jobs. Fuck AI, but don't let it rob you of your humanity towards human artists.
Stephan Krosecz@stephank.bsky.social · last wk.Gonna be real: it's deeply shitty to aggressively demand that artists who worked on a large project guarantee to you that nobody who touched the project used AI. They can't know that and they're not responsible for that. They can only know things within the scope of their own job.
I get that fans are frustrated by the ChatGPT thing in the Avatar slide, but maybe don't lay that at the feet of people who had nothing to do with it and worked really hard doing work they're proud of. And certainly don't accuse them of lying with zero evidence.

Been seeing a lot of people headcanon Yellow from Deltarune as having moral OCD and yeah, I can see some parallels to my own experiences. Definitely feel the excessive self-punishment for things people tell me “aren’t a big deal”, and just in general struggling with doing justice “the right way”.
It’s a lot of young people raised online, well before they can understand how complicated morality really is and - importantly - before they can see that complexity in themselves. From experience, the realization that you, too, fall under a shade of grey is *crushing* if you’re used to moralizing.
Skylar Sunday 🔞 (semi-hiatus)@skylarsunday.bsky.social · last wk.Literally what fandom discourse has turned into I fear.
People weren't saying the animation was made with AI oh my GOD!!! That's not what people were worried about- they were worried about cultural research being assisted by ai- as mentioned in an official art book at an official event!!
These are the very first paintings I made for Avatar Aang. I designed the art style for the ancient Sonam and Tagah scenes throughout the film!
Everything about the Dark Avatar in Korra just turned what was a great concept into just another “evil guy”. Even “Anti-Avatar” would have sounded better. I hope maybe the new series will return to this concept and do it better since the new Avatar has a twin, buuuuut I’m tempering my expectations.
Kippie ♠ Do not be obedient in advance@kippie.bsky.social · 2w agoSo I think the people behind it have been shedding the writers with any actual dang sense or actual care for the original intention of exploring non white culture through fiction and NOW WE'RE HERE I have a lot of goddamn beef about Vaatu and Raava if you can't tell
This is the hard part. Objectively a lot of talented artists worked on AA:TLA! But if you see AI referenced in production even once, it does make one wonder how much was used elsewhere in the project. I think it’s fair to support and honour their hard work while still holding healthy skepticism.
Phendan@phen.dev · 2w agoIt absolutely does. I think it's a gorgeous movie and lots of people did phenomenal work on it, but it stings that I now have to wonder to what degree it's tainted by this garbage

Genuinely starting to believe that A:TLA’s success was a fluke. Does ChatGPT even cite sources? At the BARE MINIMUM if you’re using one of these you shouldn’t use what is plagiarized and possibly wrong or irrelevant anyways. Check your sources and talk to people, ESPECIALLY if they’re marginalized.

Raven Beak from Metroid Dread. He is the most powerful character in every video game ever, and I hear that he even has an eight-pack.
