AI-generated imagery is a type of media created using a program that inputs prompts for an artificial intelligence program to build from these lists of keywords. This is becoming a common practice in the film/entertainment industry in the 2020s (especially since late 2023-early 2024). It becomes a massive problem because it not only runs animators, actors, screenwriters, etc., out of a job but frequently, the result comes out with shoddy and lazy quality. While AI is useful in some cases (such as speeding up tasks like security checkpoints in airports or using ChatGPT to research a fact quickly), most uses of AI are often malicious.

Notable Media Made by AI (Artificial Intelligence)

Film

  • The Lion King (2019) (an early example; and while most of the film is human-made, the team used AI to allow virtual characters to behave in ways that mimicked real animals; which resulted in a lack of freedom for the animators)[1]
    • Mufasa: The Lion King (the upcoming prequel to this film; while the animators had more freedom this time, AI was used to generate the voice of Zazu; despite the trailer crediting his voice actor Preston Nyman)[2]
  • Winnie the Pooh (the film is mainly animated with AI tools)

Television

  • Turn-On (Sources claimed that the show’s script was generated by a computer, making it the first piece of media that used AI)

Themed Entertainment

  • Willy's Chocolate Experience (The poster and description website are entirely made by AI, and when people go to the event, it's just a fake event that reminds people of the episode Krabby Land from SpongeBob SquarePants)

Video Games

Web Media

  • Non-fungible token (Some NFTs are created with AI, which ironically makes sense given their environmental impact)

Web Video

  • The Backyardigans (2024) (although the animation is human-made, the graphics, lighting, character designs, soundtrack and voices are suspiciously artificial)
  • Cocomelon (allegedly used AI in its videos for its animation quality since 2021, perhaps one of the earliest examples)
  • Clownfish TV (Some videos use AI-generated thumbnails, though the videos themselves simply use screen captures of websites)
  • Dhar Mann (most of the scripts used in the videos suffer from this. While hypocritically saying he hated using AI, additionally some thumbnails look A.I Generated[4])
  • Elsagate (being content farms, several Elsagate videos are generated with AI)
  • Monster Camp (2024) (the entirety of the film is AI-generated)
  • The New Norm (the theme song is entirely AI-generated; some of the promotional art is also AI-generated)
  • The Rodfellows (some of the voices are generated with AI)
  • Ryan's World (AI was used to generate video thumbnails)
  • Zachryzaxor's Ex-Girlfriend Series (some of the custom effects used in the videos are AI-generated)
  • SuperMarioLogan (AI was used to generate video thumbnails)[5]

How to Tell if It’s AI

  1. Lack of accurate anatomy: Characters are either missing fingers or toes or have extra fingers or toes.
  2. Voice acting is emotionless and artificial and text-to-speech.
  3. Character models look plastic. Backgrounds do not match the image subject's art style or lighting.
  4. Lack of dynamic poses and camera angles.
  5. Dialogue is artificial and awkward.
    • The script also has plot holes and doesn't follow up on the character's storyline from the previous episodes.
  6. Grammatical errors or scrambled text and misspellings.
  7. Image/video quality issues, the content may be blurry than the initial appearance.
  8. Constantly distorted movement objects rapidly morphing, and limbs twisting, common in AI-generated videos.

Why It's Artificially Incapable of Making Works of Art

  1. Plagiarism: AI steals artwork from many artists and imitates their art style to become replicas that impose as many artists, which the AI creators could potentially take advantage of. This angered many artists and caused lawsuits.
  2. Animation made by AI does not look like a humanmade piece of media but rather like a video game. There's a lack of dynamic poses. The most notable examples are the AI SpongeBob and AI Family Guy on YouTube and other social media are the best examples.
  3. Cloned AI voices using the text-to-speech feature, are emotionless, and the voices occasionally "crackle", making the viewing experience unpleasant.
  4. AI artwork also looks plastic and artificial which makes it distracting and uncanny.
  5. Generating the art itself is prone to errors from the aforementioned issues that may take more effort to correct than creating the image or media from the beginning. It's efficient to just create the art from scratch where you can easily fix the errors and make adjustments.
  6. The storytelling and dialogue are disjointed, stories with holes, and awkward.
  7. The images are of poor quality when inspected closely with blurry details compared to authentic digital art.
  8. It puts actual artists out of a job and causes them to be disrespected in the entertainment industry. These people are very passionate about their talents and dreams and went to college to achieve their dreams of working in the film and television industry. Replacing them with AI turns away real talented artists and models.
  9. Much like Non-fungible tokens, AI-generated content is usually produced with Ethereum, which harms the environment. Not helping that, as mentioned before, NFTs that are AI-generated have been produced.
  10. Google is one of the worst offenders of AI ever, as they have AI overviews in searches, and they are so annoying and unreliable that they will never shut up. To add more salt to the wound, you cannot disable them, even extensions don't work or add "without AI overview" to searches.
  11. AI could even generate some very inappropriate material, especially the infamous Pixar posters were based on controversial topics, like foot fetishes, holocausts, and more! This shows that AI-generated content can be too inappropriate for kids to show.
  12. AI-made work can never capture the heart and passion put into works made by human hands. And sure, many terrible, bad, or mediocre best media exist out there, but as bad as they are, even at their most bafflingly awful, at least made by humans who are passionate about their works, and not soulless robots whom the companies that create AI-generated content care about nothing but laziness, idiocy, and greed.

Trivia

  • Because of the rise of AI in the entertainment industry, artists have started movements protesting the replacement of humans with AI-generated art such as the #NoAI movement by JellyboxStudio.
