Toei Animation said in some cases, the time spent on a background was reduced to one-sixth of its normal time.
How is creator compensation changing as a result of the introduction of AI?
Are they being paid one-sixth less? Are they working one-sixth less?
One sixth of the people will be working on a project that usually requires a six times greater workforce
The only way this wouldn’t be supremely disappointing would be if they were keeping all staff and only introducing this for lower-importance sequences to reduce the famously insane workload. But yeah, I know I’m only kidding myself to even entertain that idea.
It can be great for filling in frames. Much easier to animate something at like 5-10 frames per second or less and use AI to smooth it out by filling in the gaps.
Except frame interpolation like that typically looks terrible even with modern algorithms.
Personally I don’t see this as any different than anime animators using 3D renders or other CGI to relax their workload. And just like those cases there will be some anime where there you can barely tell there’s any CG, and some where it’s blatant and hastily done. Maybe even some that use 100% AI. This change is inevitable, because it already happened once.
I just hope they don’t cut salaries.
That’s like……anti-anime
Uhh huh. And cgi ruined all of anime at it’s inception. Every last one. Let them feel things out. They’ll swim or sink with the new floaties.
Haven’t watched anything Orange or Ufotable have put out have you?
consider fans already used AI for dbz fanfiction already.

Company doesn’t want to pay artists. Fify

Possibly. But there are valid uses of ai. Uses that streamline the process, take away some of the more tedious bits. Allow the artist to create more, easier. But you’re also not wrong to imply that for a corporation that will always be the exception and not the rule

Fuck being efficient all the time. That’s such a fucking capitalist mindset. That’s the excuse use by the people pushing this slop technology into every aspect of life. It’s designed to remove people from art and to save companies money by removing the human cost.
These “valid uses of Ai” are not valid if they could have just paid someone to do the work.

Japan is speedrunning destroying a world renowned industry. The scandals about corporations not paying artists are piling up at this point.
BroBot9000@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It’s not just Japan. It’s all corporations.
This is a collective effort from the owning class to remove humans from art and to make it purely business.
Like the loom example. They didn’t destroy fabric weaving, they just outsourced it to child labourers in third world countries. That what Ai is going to do with all human creations.
