[@omnomandnugget2494]

@@lunartimberwolf two things here: 1. The universal definition of art is: Art is the expression of ideas and emotions through a physical medium Here, things get quite vague. What medium? Does it have to be made from a human? This definition doesn’t address any of these two questions, meaning that it’s really up to the person (or robot, nature, anything really) to create something that they believe is art. What matters is the idea it’s trying to express. Any medium, including AI, can be used to create something that they want to express. 2. You said that AI is trained to use images from actual artists without compensation, which to you is considered theft. But there’s a logical fallacy in there. Aren’t we, as humans, trained to do art by other artworks? If you say training from other artists without compensation is art theft, then aren’t we, as a society, committing art theft all the time?

I usually hate it when SpongeBob fans put words into Stephen Hillenburg‘s mouth to justify their dislike of something but yeah he would’ve hated this.

[@Mikach066]

Considering that stephen hillenburgs passion creation carried the network for over 2 decades, this is just extremely disrespectful.

[@christianaustin2349]

You knowWhat is something that i'm surprised?Hasn't happened is if someone in that game that nickelodeon took over just took a picture of what it looks like. In reality, like bro, that would be a diabolic troll on Nickelodeon

We need a real life resignation incident rn Ok but seriously, a bill needs to be passed that bans the use of generative ai from being used in the industry, because if companies keep doing this, I'm gonna support EXCLUSIVELY indie shows and movies.

[@ZeepAtomic]

Now that you've mentioned it, the phrase "You're the reason art is DEAD!" really applies to the current state of Hollywood right now.

[@dee4V2]

Holy shit you have idea as me, it should be a crime to use ai commercially

Anyone have Armond on speed dial?

[@jeepmega629]

We need to continually harass these companies for this. We need to make them afraid of using AI.

[@Saber06]

Harassing will not really get you anywhere and to be honest, it's not even worth your time if you Harassed.

It’s as soulless as Justin Herbert’s performance in that game

From the old seasons all the way to the new seasons, SpongeBob’s creators prided themselves on the animation of the show. As the creators said in a DVD interview “This isn’t flash animation: this is ANIMATION.” Of every character to use AI, why did it had to be a SpongeBob character? Well, at least the show hasn’t used AI art yet.

[@funkisimp1229]

Stephen hillenberg did not die for this

[@Twig_ccj]

They literally had an episode of being against fake things, like the fake factory made krabby patties. Then have the audacity to use ai, where is the love fr ?

[@DrAngelKins]

Not just animation, but the entire of humanity. So many people are getting replaced from corporate jobs, boring and fun. Humanity may fall if AI keeps getting bigger

[@DrAngelKins]

Dating has been replaced with AI. Love has been replaced with AI. Everything that people consider human will be wiped from existence, and this includes the executives and the CEOs. They don't realize how they can be replaced with AI too.

Since the deal was announced last July, what are your thoughts on the merger between Paramount and Skydance? Specifically, I’m interested in the plans to establish Paramount as a serious competitor in the field of theatrical animation alongside Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, Sony, and Illumination. To provide some context, once the deal is finalized, Skydance's animation division, which consists of over 800 in-house artists and complete 24-hour production capabilities, will enhance Paramount's efforts in this field. This boost will not only strengthen the merged company's overall kids' and family segment, which includes Nickelodeon, but also support the creation of new stories to be told through the medium of animation.

[@clarenceandgennymcneil251]

Considering the movie Luck didn’t do well and Spellbound had mixed reactions... I wish the best of luck for The Big Splat. But hey! This may allow for more original ideas for animated shows and movies!

Compared to AI art and Squidwards art. I think we all know Squidward easily wins that competition.
