Sure you like it - it's telling you what you want to hear.

Look - I didn't know Georgia was rolling back their film incentives until I decided to make the argument. Why? Because it's so obviously that. Tyler Perry is an incredibly talented creative who gets short shrift from wypepo because he doesn't make content for them but he is every bit as sharp as anyone in the entertainment industry, probably hella sharper.

And I don't know who "BirdRespecter" is but I know he couldn't give a fuck about Tyler Perry or film incentives - he's got an axe to grind over whatever the Internet has an axe to grind this week.

My fear with generative AI isn’t that it’s good enough to replace artists, it’s that people who control art through money will force feed us dogshit because they don’t care about quality and can’t tell the difference anyway

Look. This shit makes me so tired. I should just stop. I should just fucking walk away.

But it's been SIXTEEN YEARS since Stephen Spielberg was celebrated for doing Crystal Skull without CGI and then just fuckin'

OPEN ON: digigopher

I mean this in the nicest possible fucking way. Y'all are fucking idiots. Y'all are gawping morons, rubes, dipshits, dilettantes, tryhards, fuckwits. YOU DON'T KNOW ENOUGH TO HAVE THE ARGUMENT.

Nobody - NO ONE - who has ever participated in a VFX pipeline is in these discussions. They're too busy being shouted at by the terminally online. I gave up weeks ago - there are way too many people with way too little knowledge and way too much opinion to allow anything as inconvenient as expertise protrude into their platonic ideal of a debate. I myself have said "I have faced this" "this is directly what happened to me" "this has been my lived experience in exactly this situation" and the answer has been "no no you don't understand fuckwit let me repeat myself louder."

Here's the conversation I've had with every producer and VFX artist for the past 24 months:

"Whelp looks like mattes are solved."

"Yep."

"Shame about the extra limbs."

"Yep. Don't see that sorting itself out anytime soon."

"Yeah so about that strike - "

So Tyler Perry will continue to go "yeah yeah something something AI" when the rednecks threaten to take away a black man's film incentives because he knows none of y'all have the complexity of mind to discuss the socialism at the heart of cinema and you get SOOOO MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD about whatever Twitter tells you to be.
