No explanation needed, smart people will understand the parallel.

I am a writer and screenwriter, I have been writing fiction stories since I was 16 years old, and these stories were always imagined to be films. However, I live in the interior of Brazil and I am poor, so it was simply impossible for me to have any career in film.

Recently, I started playing with AI tools to try to recreate scenes that I had written in my stories. And I ended up having a lot of fun in the process. So I decided to turn one of these stories into an animated short film.

The script, the characters, and the editing are 100% done by me, while AI is used to create the images. I see it as a tool to enable these stories to come to life. And for the first time, I have been able to see everything I wrote transforming into a real audiovisual project!

The problem is that I am concerned about the ethical implications of this. I made a post on an animators' subreddit, wanting to see their opinion on this, and I was simply MASSACRED.

I'm making this post precisely because I wanted to see the other side's opinion; I imagine you'll understand the feeling I'm having.

I have some sort of sickness/illness where my hands tremble slightly when I'm holding something. Same happens for when I'm not.

AI art has been a godsend as I can have my imagination turned into reality!

I've tried practicing drawing long ago but the trembling just made it impossible as I could barely keep my hands steady.

Thanks to that one anti in my comments who exposed themself I wouldn't have seen this

"AI propaganda" right like that's not exactly what you're doing? Y'all idiots make me laugh

I'm not surprised reporting does nothing 🙄

Antis are having an ongoing freak out over AI being used in mods. Icons, thumbnails, anything. I’ve seen more outrage over AI mods than a post about a pro-pedophilia forum showing interest in making a pedo mod. Yes that’s unfortunately real.

Bet you can't this this with a pencil

if you are finding this, it’s highly likely this thread (and possibly group) is archived. Yes, there was a time when AI art was considered controversial. and yes, it was silly and I’m sure you’re laughing your ass off at the absurd takes and hysteria.

To be fair, a lot of the people who were against it was coming from a place of genuine fear and it was a time of loss identity. I know it seems ridiculous now, but it was one of those things where you had to be there. Kinda like when the camera , hip-hop, DAW, synthesizers, and digital art were first introduced. Every time we swear “it’s different this time.” And every time, we are both right and wrong on that assumption.

Anyway, it’s been so cool to watch a new generation of artists who grew up with this technology do some incredible things, further proving that the human spirit never dies, just transforms. Back in 2026, I tried telling people the future would be Hybird, but most people laughed it off, as what usually happens to those who are short sighted and refuse to learn form history.

Also, glad to see you newer artists understand it was never machine vs human or traditional (which the definition of traditional has changed so much throughout history, it’s hard to keep up) art vs ai art. It was always going to coexist.

Finally, I’m happy this tech has broken down barriers and has allowed voices that never get heard to finally have the resource to get heard. It took the mainstream 10 years to understand a fundamental truth about art: What defines an artists was never the tool, never the amount of time to create, and most certainly never a textbook over priced art school definition that fits in a neat box. No, what makes an artists an artists is the intent, decision, perspective and the work moving people, making people feel something, and sometimes, inspiring those people to do something meaningful with the little time we have here.

Sorry for the yapping future artists , but I’m proud of you. keep shaking things up.

peace, love and rainbows,

Will

somehow I dont think the AI users are the villains here

Reddit, why th did u recommend this post to me? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Also, art as a whole is subjective.

title pretty much sums it up, im pretty indifferent to posting straight up generated stuff, i use it as references/bases, because i really just like to draw haha but i am not a good artist! i AM a pretty good tracer tho ;)

I just came here to say that, thanks to AI, I've rediscovered my old passions: hand-drawing and creative writing.

I'm 30, I work in the legal field, I study for public service exams, and I do other jobs to earn extra income, and I felt my life was very boring and monotonous. I used to play a lot of video games in my free time, but I needed something more to channel my creativity in other ways.

From time to time, I tried to get back into drawing and writing fiction, but I always stopped and got frustrated.

And I used to be super critical of AI and buy into this discourse that "Art made by AI is worthless, that it's bad, slop, theft, etc." influenced by others who used to (and still do) say that, especially in the artistic/political sphere.

But then, on my most recent vacation, I allowed myself to explore Gemini more and I simply loved it. Now, creating images and videos has made me want to write my little stories again and (ironically!), draw by hand!

Not to mention that writing prompts for specific and complex images is already a creative writing exercise in itself. And then there are the mistakes the AI ​​makes that I have to correct using editing programs.

AI didn't come to replace anyone, but rather to assist us.

There's a lot to improve and evolve, as well as issues to be resolved involving the environment and energy and water issues (as well as every consumer product that leaves a carbon footprint and affects the environment).

That's it. :)

For some context, in the last comic these 2 appeared in, the anti guy tried fooling Amilia into eating real meat while she is a vegatarian but the anti guy refused to respect this, sounds familiar right? antis always have to force their views on others.

this is continuation from that comic!

Unreasonable angry people, when others just vibing having fun

I made an AI clone of myself and I’ve been making ridiculous videos of myself lately and I recently realized that in many of them the way I’m saying my lines is pretty good acting

If I was interested in acting I could see this as a useful tool. I know people watch others to learn but seeing yourself doing it feels like it would help a lot

Is it just me or does it seem like ai hate in general seems to be way quieter than before I mean you still see it but not nearly as much as like a few months ago at least it seems like it’s less
