Also, probably gotta stress that if someone is an asshole to you, you dont have to take their advice on your project, even if theyre correct.

You can build on that advice so long as you understand what they mean.

Vice versa? You shouldn't be an asshole either, period. People like mutual respect.

Ive had TONS of a bad ideas that I look back at fondly. They evolve or hit the cutting room floor but they have to appear first.

But the Water-Boiling Plagirism-Machine makes you think your first few ideas are so darn irrefraggable.

You have to struggle against the vision to see the vision first.

"We use AI for ideations and brainstorming"

Youre afraid. Im sorry, but you are. You are afraid your staff takes too long. You are afraid the ideas you spit out first are bad and dumb and everyone will laugh at you and you wanna get away from that so you can succeed, right?

Haha-WRONG.

Theres even a few folks in indie-animation who brainstorm with AI and nothing gives me buyer's remorse faster than seeing creators lose faith in their own ability to come up with ideas.

Its YOUR project. The machine isn't "opening up your creativity". It suppresses the ideas that couldve been.

And a timelapse for those interested~.
