AI has been a major disrupter of the art-form, and regardless of how do you feel about it and it's place in the industry, is this sub the right place for people to share their AI work or solutions?

I feel this is a space to discus the craft side of storyboarding not a showcase for alternatives to human labor or a platform for those chasing the AI gold rush. It's really depressing to see posts trying to provide AI solutions that are ment to replace storyboard artists to a community of storyboard artists.

Even if AI eventually gets adapted as part of the workflow, there is still lots of nuance to the craft, and a set of trained and skilled eyes is essential to produce quality work. Jumping straight to AI robs artist of gaining that experience and developing these skills.

What do you guys think?

I love JRPG content on youtube, especially retro JRPG related stuff. However more and more channels are popping up these days with AI voices listening 20 forgotten GBA JRPGs or favorite PS2 JRPGs … etc, and it’s really depressing. These channels are flooding the platform and sucking all the air out of the room. I just wanna hear actual people with actual takes taking about games they love and it’s getting harder to do so. Fuck AI, gaming hardware getting more expensive and slop has drowned actual content. I hate this future.

EDIT: I don't watch these videos, but I hate that now part of youtube watching is sussing out whether or not the content you're watching is made by a human or not. I also block these channels and remove them from my watch history. I now just stick to the channels I know and ignore the rest, which is not ideal.

Discovering other people with good taste who go into niche rabbit holes and share their finding was one of the joys of that platform, now It's trying to find a needle in the slop haystack, and that applies to all hobbies and interests, JRPG just happens to be my lane.

Hey. Next week is the 5 year anniversary of getting my ticker. Thing is, I realized this is the first time I have thought about it in months. I am 46 now, and life has been sweet. Other than taking the warfarin in the morning and the periodical INR and annual checks my life is now pretty normal.

Having an OHS and AVR was my personality for the first year, but that gradually faded. It’s no longer something that I think about that much. There is so little friction in my life because of my valve. My health is ok, I am more active, not athletic, but bike and walk regularly. I barely notice the ticking sound. Good sleep, good stamina.

Wanted to share this to let others know that even though it’s a major life disruption in the moment, things get back to a baseline of normality eventually. Love you all

Listening to the the Spielberg ranking ep and they are talking about how miscast was Eric Bana in Munich, which immediately made me think of another miscasting in one of Spielberg's films. I find Justin Chatwin in War of the Worlds to be so laughably bad.

I love War of The worlds. I know the third act deflates the whole thing, but I found the first hour of that film to be so kinetic. That was the lasts time I felt I was watching a Spielbergian set piece in the classical sense. However I bemoan the fact that I have to sit though those Justin Chatwin scenes, and that fallout boy energy, whenever I rewatch the film. What are other casting choices that almost ruins an otherwise serviceable (or actually good) Spielberg film?
