3D digital art has no foundation to criticize Ai art. You don’t have to know anything about the nature of clay to be able to sculpt or “extrude a cylinder” and the tool gives you an ability that you didn’t earn but the artist user is thankful for. You don’t have to know anything about grinding pigments or mixing using color theory to “eye dropper” a color in Photoshop. Digital artists have no ground to criticize Ai and are perhaps the most arrogant artists to ever exist… which is an impressive feat. When I do stop motion I don’t push an “inverse kinematic” button, I move the form to emulate physics one frame at a time. I hand sculpt the face to change expression but these Ai critics digitally print 6,000 different faces then slap a mask on the puppet instead of sculpting. It’s okay, we’ve always taken short cuts, just like Ai. Even with stop motion you don’t have to draw the character because the puppet exists so you don’t have to worry about it going “off model” or “losing volume”. When I 2D animate it’s the highest difficulty to maintain volume, though digital allows me to undo frames and edit on the fly which I couldn’t do with a 35mm camera (I shot with the camera Kubrick used on 2001 a Space Odyssey I owned in the 90s). Art is a history of short cuts, innovation even having other artists so most of the work for your art. To go after Ai kids is beyond arbitrary, white knight virtue signaling and beneath the real spirit of the arts. PS the audience doesn’t care and will devour analogue, digital and Ai if it entertains and communicates truth goodness and beauty.
