Consumer-facing "A.i." makes everything more frustrating and annoying and worse. It inserts confusion between human beings trying to communicate. It spreads disinformation and propaganda and fraud. It hurts cognition and breaks down actual human abilities and skills...

Hello all, my big fat stupid motorcycle that I love has racked up a $2000 vet bill, but since FanFest season is rapidly approaching I figure I can cushion a bit of the blow by perhaps doing art for folks looking to get stickers & stuff made, I set up a commissions page over at ko-fi.com/coelasquid

This reminds me a little of Mel Brooks dealing with studio notes.
![From the New Yorker (2021): You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at thestudios.
I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on“The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” Hewanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” Inever did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head ofWarner Bros. threw me into the manager’s offi ce, gave me a legal pad and a pencil,and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” froma daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “Nofarting.” I said, “It’s out.”
That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the
campfire scene
.
I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I keptsaying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all hisnotes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running[production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end ofit. You say yes, and you never do it.

The shit part about most animation in America is that we keep making animators who are so goddamn passionate and skilled yet we force them to do other things because outsourcing is cheap and exploitative as all hell.
Now that the Adobe debacle has started to die down, please don’t forget about the animators. There are a lot of crafts, including animation, that have gotten the shit end of the stick during bargaining for decades. My craft is dying. We need more in house animation.

Would Orson Welles want his lost classic restored by A.I.? You mean the same Orson Welles who, when Ted Turner was leading the charge to colorize black & white movies, famously proclaimed "don't let Ted Turner deface my movie with his crayons"? I think I can make an educated guess here.
In 1942, RKO slashed 43 minutes from Orson Welles's "The Magnificent Ambersons" and slapped on a happy ending. Now, an A.I. company wants to restore what was lost. Are they righting a historic wrong or descrating a classic? My deep dive, in this week's New Yorker. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
