    Hello. I am here to shamelessly plug my fanfiction, Pokemon Retold, which has just reached the first anniversary of the posting of its first chapter. You can find it here, and I'd really appreciate any comments/replies/reviews you'd be willing to leave it:

    A lot of midis (taken from onlinesequencer, but I did a lot of work myself to mash them together, change the instruments so they all fit, add additional tracks where it was needed, and make them 8-bit) and a bunch of filters over anime OPs (posterize, dither, and choppiness).The anime logos in the bottom are all made by me, text with coloring filters in Photoshop with some additional decorations for some of them.

    Ik there's a lot of controversy with AI art, but I've been playing around with it a bit recently and wanted to share my opinion:

    I think it's good for concept art and personal projects, particularly for people who aren't very artistically inclined. Like, I could get an AI to make an image of a character from a book I'm writing, then take that image and show it to a professional artist for them to use as a reference for my book's cover.

    I think, if you're using AI art for anything, though, it's best clarify that it's AI art, and not something you've made yourself- to avoid confusion.

    At the end of the day, though, AIs are tools, just like a pencil or paintbrush. I think the complaint of it emulating styles/referencing existing artists without their permission is fair, but at the same time it's not really plagiarism? Like if I drew something myself in the style of an already existing artists it's fine, so eh...?

    Idk I gotta go in a moment I just wanted to share my thoughts on the whole issue

    AI might have some use as an intermediary step in creation, and it's foolish to dismiss it whole--even loud detractors of this technology, like Steven Zapata, will tell you that--but it's been handled horribly so far.

    the connections you make in your brain, creative or logical, are infinitely superior to those a robot. no matter what level of skill or even talent you have, you are able to contextualise and impress your own line of thinking and perspective onto your own artistic work. AI can't do that. it just collects and compiles a huge amount of artistic works, with little to no consent on the side of the artist, and regurgitates a pixel hairball that, while potentially visually impressive, didn't have any sort of artistic intent behind it. even the simplest, most childish such intent eludes the AI, because it's not even an "AI" proper: it's a simple algorithm employed for robbery, and the people who use it to that end or enable that should be held just as accountable as a person who plagiarises someone else's work.

    My opinion of it , summarized briefly l, as I already wrote in an earlier lengthy profile post is that it's yet another new tech for art related purposes in a similar vein to digital art, photography, synthetic cheaper paints, the synthesizer, 3d art, etc. Like all new art movements, there is a lot of angry people who deride it and then some new art movement gets made to protest against the new tech and then it smoothly gets integrated into our society.

    To me there's nothing inherently wrong with AI art at all. Imo the more of the problem is rich capitalist exploiting it to be threatening to the artists positions but like that's more of a problem with general society and capitalism as a socioeconomic system than it really is with AI art. I also agree with Koopa con Carne that it's pretty much just a bot that feeds on algorithms and.it can never replace the intuitiveness of the human imagination, as with all prior tech anyway.

    I do get concerns about legality of using it to share doctored images or making something in your likeness without your permission, that's where I think the brunt of the controversy should be at.

    I know everyone's complaining about big-name actors being hired for the Mario movie just for the sake of having their names in there, but c'mon, it could have been worse.

    It could have been Ryan Reynolds and the Rock again.

    Feature films having big-name actors feels like the norm that it would've been a miracle if the original voice actor is cast for the feature film (e.g. Goofy in A Goofy Movie). In many cases, including even Mario, I feel that they tend to use big-name actors as a form of safety net on the success of the film. Not even Pokemon or Sonic are immune to this, and I would say that their decision to do live action is to be safe on the film's success. Of the video game adaptations, Angry Birds is probably the only one who is a successful animated film, so here's hoping that Mario could have success, even surpassing that one.

    I would say that it's really good that Charles Martinet is able to find room for acting in this film, even if it's not the main man Mario himself.

    Thank you for reading.
