It’s like trying to fight the tides at this point.

@AVARY the crashout against this is so weird to me. ppl are angry he's not hand drawing storyboards? 😂seems like a really weird reaction, i genuinely don't understand the ai hate

@AVARY People like Scorsese helping to guide AI is a best case scenario. AI is coming no matter how much people cry about it. We either get really bad AI guided by tasteless hacks or AI guided by GOATs like Scorsese.

@AVARY The tides are Mike Tyson in 1987.

@AVARY 💯 not one industry statement @IATSE unionized storyboard role gone @ADG800 art directors guild on life support many illustrious @TheAcademy members, just... gone

@AVARY This is code for someone who got paid by a start up

@AVARY @MrCoopersVideo So fucking disappointing. You old generation hacks are not just killing the filmmaking industry, but you're killing us all because of the data centers needed to use the AI. You're literally ruining the environment.

@AVARY From being in the middle of it to literally having no interest in American movies at all, even with the hype around the youtubers. What do they know of life? American movies stopped being about life 15 years ago. So of course "artificial" is the logical next step.

@AVARY Another boomer sold out. No big surprise there. He can see that his influencer daughter won’t have real rosy financial prospects once he’s unable to do Insta skits with her, so he took a big check for her trust fund.

@AVARY Scorsese is 83 and all his movies, every single one are all behind him Someone wrote him a million dollar check He accepted

@AVARY If one man could end a debate, I think it’s him.

@AVARY I've been using chat gpt for images, if it allowes, for Star Trek Holodeck cast photos, Animal Aluminum Factory characters, and I've been "casting" actors in roles of coworkers. What ifs with John Cazale movies had he lived to the 2000s. Wild fun stuff.

@AVARY I'm not fighting shit. Just won't watch anything with AI. That probably means no new movies for me. Oh well.

@AVARY Pretty sure Marty draws his own storyboards.

@AVARY once it became legal to steal ideas as long as you put them in the AI idea grinder before rehashing them, people went all in

@AVARY Injecting externally generated seeds for long form ideation in storyboarding seems like a real crutch for Scorsese. Long form narrative has been his weak point, as he mostly focuses on the energy of characters themselves to somehow hold stories together.

@AVARY Silents and Talkies and on and on. I have a dozen screenplays and dozens of treatments to explore my first years with uploading to YouTube...

@AVARY Old guard trying to help. Like a last gift in a way - saying I would use it, should be a signal to some kid somewhere to try the tools and become the next Marty. It's a brave forward thinking move from the old master.

@AVARY That's exactly why you fight... To be different from the rest that have given up and fallen in line with the herd.

@AVARY They don't get it because they're not capable of getting it. A hundred years ago they would have been doing rain dances to save the industry. filmthreat.com/features/no-on…

@AVARY No problem with AI in film it's just the enslavement of humanity that's suboptimal.

@AVARY Scorsese has always embraced new tech. He used 3D in Hugo and AI de-aging in The Irishman.

@AVARY UH-GREED

@AVARY Luckily we still have Werner Herzog. And let's be honest it's been a little while since Martin's made something non-shameful.

@AVARY Funny. We said almost the exact same thing at the exact same time. Agreed.

@AVARY People need to give Scorsese a break. He can't draw! He won't be using AI either, someone else will do it for him, preferably a storyboard artist, and much time will be saved.

@AVARY Roger, Adapt or be obsolete. The tide will swallow you. No substitute for craft but it will enhance it.

@AVARY I'm pretty sure he will go back to hire a storyboarder. My guess is that he's gonna feel very quickly he's spending way too much time trying different prompts to get to the result he intended. The waste could be huge. Talking to a storyboarder is way more simple - and pleasant.

@AVARY The work of @AlfredAlfer77 has turned me around on it's place. Though none of it will matter if the person using the tool is uncreative.

@AVARY If the tides would move dog shit instead of water, yes.

The man is 83. Let him have some fun making movies with new tools and toys. What the Ai spits out is essentially irrelevant without an artist to pick and choose how things are tweaked, fixed, edited and changed. I've spent years in preproduction, creating storyboards and concept art. I've seen what Ai can do and the artists are still 100% necessary to the process. Also, people need to realize that concept artists paint on top of copyright material ALL THE TIME. They will literally cut and paste actors into images. They will take pictures from online and sketch on top of them.

@AVARY The Bull tried

@AVARY But it will replace filmmakers.

@AVARY Its not. Just get a fucking human to draw for you

@AVARY It’s inevitable. The business has always move towards technology.

@AVARY I know, it’s crazy how fast things are moving! 🤪
