SHOWRUNNER AI MAKES AWFUL 'SOUTH PARK' RIPOFF | Double Toasted

SHOWRUNNER AI MAKES AWFUL 'SOUTH PARK' RIPOFF | Double Toasted - Today at Double Toasted we look at the new Showrunner AI app that uses AI to create tv shows for audiences to watch. We look at the first released cartoon which is a short piece that clearly rips off South Park. What did you think of this cartoon? Let us know in the comment section below.

I'm just scared that a year from now the social media is going to be packed with AI generated content like this, You already have those weird Disney/Superhero stuff for kids. I think AI content needs to banned on certain platforms.

[@autolosss]

Unfortunately as someone living in a country where Facebook has dominance, AI content generation sludge is already filling up social media feeds here, a mix of odd posts of AI generated Jesus, kids in poverty creating works from trash, undressed women and Koreans, some of which are with Jesus even 😂 Inconveniently, we know as well that most social media platforms.. happen to also be tied to companies pushing for the AI buzzword and underlying ML tech, as messy as it is. So there is not much reason for them to care, or if they somehow are willing then they would be more inclined to use AI systems as the easy way out to well tackle AI generated stuff which probably wouldn't be as helpful as we would think.

Chris Miller recently said that ai would never be used in the Spiderverse movies because "One of the main goals of the films is to create new visual styles that have never been seen in a studio CG film, not steal the generic plagiarized average of other artists' work." That's the biggest problem with ai currently. It has the ability to be a great tool for artists, but it was built to steal the works of both big and small artists so that ANYONE can use their work without permission and for any purpose. In order for AI to ever be part of the art industry, whether that be in animation or any other field, is if protections are put in place for artists first. Once ai scrappers are unable to steal so recklessly from any available creations on the internet, then it can be repurposed into an art tool rather than a generator working off of stolen assets.

[@ultimamage3]

Chris Miller, the guy implicated in an expose of poor working conditions resulting in inhumane treatment of the actual animators doing the Spider-Verse movies, resulting in the Beyond movie being delayed indefinitely? They already used AI to help animate ITSV and ATSV, they just called it "machine learning" to deceive people.

[@shadysubject06]

@@ultimamage3 Well that's incredibly disheartening to hear, but I'd rather the movie be delayed than the animators be forced to work to the extent that it impacts their health. I googled about the ai use in the previous Spiderverse films, and while an ai was used, it was in the use of a program that allowed the animators to adjust line density and other elements rather than generating the entire animation for them. It was a tool that they could control, rather than creating the visuals for them using art from other artists.

[@blackstar4111]

If it saves money it will be used. 5yrs away from it being common

[@14supersonic]

I think that's wishful thinking, don't be too naive. While I'm pro-AI tools, I do see there is an issue with data privacy and these models taking it without the creators permissions. You're concept would work out in a perfect world, but even if some people with good intentions implemented a system like that for training AI models the models wouldn't work. They need vast amounts of data to get to a particular level of competency, or otherwise the models would be practically useless. Unfortunately, the only way these models get there is by learning on everything and anything it can to get to that place. It's only when these models can generate synthetic data of its own that can create its own unique art creations is when it can truely go without training on unauthorized works, but like I said this wouldn't be possible with out an initial data set to work with. I know there is contention in the artistic communities about how this tech is being used to "steal" and "plagiarize". The fact is this is a reductive and reactionary take on what actually happens behind the scenes of an AI model. Eventually, when these models do start achieving the protections and applications you seek to work for and assists artists, we'll be long pass those criticisms, and everyone would have forgotten all about "The problems with AI art" anyway.

[@shadysubject06]

@@14supersonic You think that everyone will forget that the art generator that companies are hoping to replace their workers with was built by having it copy and manipulate the works of all artists on a worldwide scale against their will and without their consent?

I can help you with pose-to-pose animation using mobile apps. Use a notebook to write down prompts as reusable presets for your animations. Compared to traditional animation, it's much faster and more efficient. As an experienced cartoon animator, switching to AI digital imaging has significantly streamlined my workflow.

[@DoubleToasted_]

I’d love for you to show me this. Can you email me your information?

[@MattHawes]

The copyright situation may protect artists jobs in that works solely created by prompts as A.I. is not protected by copyright law. Corporations, studios, and publishers notoriously are protective of intellectual property and copyright. Well, if they seek to bypass using a human creator to save some money by using A.I., the joke is that new property cannot be copyrighted. So, they'll have to go the old fashioned route instead if they want to maintain ownership: Paying real human creators.

[@Little1Cave]

That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking. And considering the copyright question is being asked in multiple countries, even having one country denying copyright ownership would be a risk to the studio’s bottom line.

[@jcoster8291]

yeah this looks pretty bad like most A.I. shows, but I've been keeping an eye on a few AI generated parody shows particularly Family Guy and SpongeBob and I think they have picked up a lot of steam since they've first started streaming. A lot of community input leading to some incremental improvements; and you know also people occasionally trying to purposely break it for fun and also some of the absolute most wild, crazy, out of pocket, insane, offensive, degenerate, sick, twisted, horrifying, scripts and plot lines THE INTERNET can imagine. That being said I saw Plankton sing "Live and learn" from Sonic Adventure 2 on stage at the Goofy Goober with all the passion in his tiny soul and it was awesome.
