Yeah this guy ain't selling me shit. AI is a crap excuse for real art. It wishes it had the kind of emotion and detail that comes from people. Maybe in 100 years when we have TRUE AI maybe then. But right now AI doesn't learn. Its fed.
Let those of us with anxiety disorders do the heavy lifting for you! We’ve been worrying about 1,000 separate things our whole lives. We were born for this!
Stay focused and push hard where you can.
Part of why there are different styles for cartoons is to invoke the imagination of the viewer to fill in the details... similar to reading a story or book vs watching a movie.
Quite funny. Loads of people want this guy buried for being imbecile, me too, but Miyazaki, well he just refuses to go to USA and really didn't want to sell his work to the USA, because he saw the country as pollution.
I mean, I'm not Miyazaki and I'd go pretty much anywhere, but he has a point
LOL I was lucky because one of the first videos of his I saw was a critique of Winterfell and I was like, "nah, this guy's gonna be some kind of asshole". It was just such a stupid video.
That girl is from a film about human industry destroying nature. A girl who is the story's embodiment of human's lost connection with nature. A part of a studio's ongoing anthology of human's lost connection with nature, and what we can gain by reconnecting.
There is nothing more Australian than claiming every bad Australian 'celebrity' is actually from New Zealand, and every good New Zealand celebrity is actually from Australia.
AI has no soul for art. It's commercial and tawdry in my book. Real art you feel the joy, the anger, the fear of the artist in the work.
AI has a place, but I will never consider it an art form. There's nothing of the creator in it.
He just wants to fuck the AI version more. The Venn diagram of dudes "improving character design" and dudes wanting to fuck anime characters is pretty much a circle.
Hey, you don’t need to import screenshots of bad takes from donkeybrained idiots on the other site. You don’t need to show me the smelly dogshit you found on the sidewalk.
Wow he's not even in step with the rest of the generative image losers. he's just fucking deranged. Honestly surprised he doesn't call Ghibli films "Subversive" too. I still can't believe anyone takes this guy seriously when he uses "subversive" as an insult.
Also funny for a man with no art style of his own who has to ask the computer to mush together a bunch of stuff into a pretty common soupy art style that these guys love has the gall to insult the work of Miyazaki. This guy must be so jealous of Jazza being the brother with any skills and character.
Thing is, Shad DOES have an art style.
Sort of an early 2000's teen cartoon style sure (Think Magas XLR, Brace face, those sorts of shows).
Dude could make money off that style and make it his own if he just put a minimum of effort in
It's a studio that's made many, multiple animated movies for children, adults, and timeless classics for all ages, and the art style is different, movie to movie.
People who do this have no clue, so they think they can distill decades of different art styles into one.
The ai looks like he did realism style and he is an idiot thats not what people like about ghibli. Its the fucking artist they like the style is the artist just because the person is multiple people instead of one man means nothing ether in japan it’s common to have people literally study under 1/2
Another artist and learn there style and work one projects like movies with them. Misaki left his legacy to them and that legacy the style and storytelling is what people like! God why are tech bros so dumb 2/2
Degenerate art you say? I was wondering when the new official state aesthetic would drop, the new Nazi Art Deco, and that post makes it finally clear to me, even though I’ve been seeing it in clickbait for years.
I mean, that AI woman’s face, it’s the exact face on all of them, right? Does it even move? Miyazaki’s OG stylized/simplified “anime” style has infinite range compared to this.
San has a certain "hardness" in her gaze, which you'd expect from a woman who's lived with giant wolf spirits in the wilderness since she was a baby. That hardness shows something essential about her character, which is totally lost on the porcelain doll babyfaced AI depiction
I just got the post suggested to me on Twitter and literally everyone in the comments is cooking him except for Black Dumpling who of course agrees with him.
It will never stop being funny that my introduction to him was "oh cool educational vid about knives" and then a year passes and the next I see him he's starting to scream about women wearing pants and now AI.
Literally posts the image on the left that’s just *gushing* emotion from her expression to try to make this “point” (while the image on the right is just… idk, generic fuckgirl eyes?)
That's the point... They don't want art. They want fuck-girls generated in the way how they want it. These are exactly the same goons who're upset about if a female character in a video game isn't enough sexy no matter if it's not even doing anything with the story... 🙄
God this is just the fucking reason the right in particular LOVES these AI gen anime images so much isn't it. cuz they pretty much all skew erotic and it lets them live out their fantasies where media is still all made with mens dicks in mind. that's why it "looks better" to them. cuz better = sexy
I don’t get what the point of ai art is. Art is about the effort to get to that end result. It’s something to be proud of. Tf do you do with Ai art? No effort and nothing to be proud of, no skill or anything. It could be better if you drew it in your own style or whatever but it’s just random ass
The people who think they've accomplished something with it have never had to work for an accomplishment in their lives and couldn't make, much less understand art.
Plus, they mainly just create porn and want validation.
That reminds me of the short lived high framerate movies we had that just looked terrible but tech bros we're sure was the next big thing because more frames equals more better or some shit
In a way streaming is the best such thing to come out of tech culture as it’s the only one that gave artists money to make art. There’s a concept! Imagine if these companies just paid artists. Hell, half AI’s legal problems would go away if they just commissioned the training data from the creators
He literally gave an argument as to why actual art is better than AI art but then proceeded to say it's "worse" than AI like these people are completely braindead
A friend and co worker had his book and I ended up borrowing it. It was literally one of the worst things I've read in awhile. very unpolished, terrible ending chapter. so no wonder all he does is ragebait. it pays the bills I guess. cuz that book certainly ain't getting him big sales.
There is something ironic about using Princess Mononoke as the image for this. A film about the importance of humans respecting nature. Then they use AI, a tool with a notoriously terrible impact on nature with it's power consumption. There are plenty of other statements to be made here...
I'm kinda tempted to check if any of the old, HUGE IMAX screens are showing it, because I want to see that projected onto the side of what's essentially a 3 story building.
And the Lion King "remake" told us that's a lie. Anyone over the age of 4 knows lion cubs are incapable of doing this face (heck, even us humans cannot). But we absolutely empathise with the human emotions this fictional character is expressing to us with this face.
well yeah that's the (il)logical conclusion you expect someone with this level of intelligence to reach. "you see more = better" is the simpleton's thought process
Ghibli style animation is in harmony with the fantastical story-style. The animation style supports the story and doesn't detract from it. It's like an amazing dream that sticks with you... Ghibli style is a feeling you remember and sticks with you... It's not about bells and whistles
The AI is blank. There's nothing there. The Ghibli has distaste/anger in the face and eyes. We love the story, but if you think Ghibli is "uninspired" you're a bigger moron than Felon 47!
The amount of detail in minor things like the grass and trees would have you crying if you could comprehend it.
The ghibli style is my childhood, and you can't separate my emotional attachment to it along with the fact that it's just so fluid and just the start of my art journey also id recomend you take that opinion up with haiyo miyazaki who has since the start hated ai
For someone who claims to be an “”””artist”””” his channel he made entirely for Ai shlop is pretty much dead with its latest video being over a year old. Where’s the passion, Shad?
Dude in the screenshot can't even iterate the difference between the computer trying Ghibli style, and the computer trained on Sakimichan pinups spitting out a Ghibli child character... creep.
Animation may look fine. Live action film may look fine. These wankers trying to blend both worlds are just braindead.
And then they'll support a live action work of art only if it humanly impossible camera movements and tons of CGI. I worry what kind of visual art they actually like.
No, this is the guy who used to do historical swordplay/weapon videos before descending into hard right wing tech bro grifts and deeply questionable fantasy novels.
To be fair, his historical swordplay and weapon videos were always bullshit that he reasoned from first principles instead of research. That should have been more of a red flag early on.
Shitting on an actual artist hard work over something a mentally handicapped monkey with Alzheimer’s could make with zero hard work put into it will NEVER make your ‘art’ accepted. PERIOD.
Fuck AI and fuck those that think AI will ever be real ‘art’.
To be fair. Imagine literally everyone on the internet liking your brother WAY more than you because he's actually talented. I'd probably fall down the alt right pipeli... Oh wait, no I wouldn't. I'd be normal about it and get a hobby 🤦
Why do they want porn characters in media that has never been sexual, like ever?
I genuinely cannot believe these basement-dwelling hacks, even try and learn about creating art.
Wait, is this the same guy who starts throwing a tantrum when someone making fun of bland and boring real sword designs?
A sword nerd calling an Art style plain and uninspired?
srsly gtfo
I watched this guy for many years and it was fun to see him simping over edged weapons. But now he can scram.
It doesn't look better!?!? It looks similar to every other piece of AI generated GARBAGE out there!!! STOP DESTROYING THINGS THAT DIDN'T NEED FIXING!!!!
Shadman, a notorious creator of loli and shota, tho, his biggest crime was making people feel sorry for Keemstar, cause he drew porn of Keemstars daughter.
Not to mention that, even if it's a still image, there are countless cases of weird merging.
Hair becoming a hand, a hand having far too many or not enough fingers, pants turning into shoes, shirts being a part of a wall, the list just goes on and on
Yeah, but those can be harder to catch, especially when just looking at a phone thumbnail.
But people WILL notice when a moving image goes screwy. I remember an animation based off of this image, and the clothing just kept shifting as they walked. You can imagine the plaid did NOT translate well.
he convinced himself that he had already learned the fundamentals of art and that AI allowed him to skip the "boring stuff" to making it look great. problem is, he clearly just tries to copy from comic book art without any understanding of human form composition
so the proportions are completely amateur in a way that would be understanding for a learning artist, but by applying AI slop rendering on top of them, they escalate to beyond liefeld levels of nightmarish, and he has an unearned sense of calling himself an expert artist as a result
like other AI sycophants, he clearly hates the artistic process but is obsessed with the realistic aesthetics of veteran artists. iirc his brother is an actual artist and found his attitude about the whole thing to be insulting to the craft. he's an embarrassment
It just blows my mind that him and Jazza are related. Jazza is so artistically driven you'd think some of the love or at least respect for the processing would have rubbed off from growing up together, but I guess crazier things have happened.
Amateur artist here. I can definitely see some odd looking things in this: the thighs don't seem connected in the right spots, the head looks like it was photoshopped on top, and there's something off about those shoulders but I cannot pick it out. Any glaring flaws I'm not noticing?
The direction of the light and the resulting shadows are extremely inconsistent. The face has it coming directly from the left, the torso from the top, the hands from the front, and the hair from above and behind. Meanwhile the background suggests the light should be coming from behind her.
I don't understand how a person can clearly put so much effort and love into his videos and weapons and stuff that he talks about...and still be so clueless about creativity and art.
Ai art is just annoying to look at point blank cause its just a amalgamation of images that use the same damn lighting and shading everytime it spits out somethin
Shad is known for being an AI loving wanker, so this isn't surprising. He's also a grifter who is currently targeting the "Gooner" group with AI generated porn that he puts his wifes face on, which is odd because he's supposedly a Mormon, and it's verboten for them to even look at such things.
He makes AI generated images of sexy women not wearing much, and then edits his wifes face into it. They're Mormon, so she wouldn't ever be allowed to actually dress that way in real life. She also couldn't divorce him. She hates that he makes the pics, too. Something he seems to find amusing.
Yeah, I also think that he has insane jealousy and spite over his brother actually being an amazing artist, while he has a stuck using AI. So he justifies it by belittling actual artists
So first of all, its on twitter and nazi art always sucks no matter what skill is applied to it
And second of all, ai isnt an evil tool but techbros have no souls and almost all ai was trained on stolen dreams and so one must assume that all images produced by it are as soulless as they are
Absolutely 100% agree with you, Studio Ghibli Style along with other classic animation styles of the early 80s and 90s are just absolutely timeless and cannot be recreated using AI generated bull crap.
Shad Brooks, known on youtube as Shadiversity. He used to produce some pretty decent content with regards to analysis of medevial weaponry, and history. Which only makes this more disappointing.
Kinda shitting on a whole bunch of people in the HEMA community on YouTube who collectively told Shad to fuck off when he started going off the deep end who are very much not “losers” lmao
It’s funny, he’s so obviously mad his brother is so much better at art.
I’d say he should stick to writing books, but he should stop writing paedo apologia and is probably only a short what’s from using AI to write it for him
Comments
Stay focused and push hard where you can.
Shouldn't you be focusing completely on that one issue rather than trolling around the comments here?
I still don't think you're serious, because I don't want to insult you by acting like that comment came from someone who was trying to be genuine.
I was just trying to plan along.
Capitalists: makes thing really cheap with absolutely dogshit quality, calls you a gay liberal if you dont like it
That person probably doesn’t like anime at all.
You are a showing a nice level of bloodthirstyness too. You can man the guns
Respect 🙏
Thinking outside the box.
Let's just chain him to the shipping container so he's dragged down by it.
I mean, I'm not Miyazaki and I'd go pretty much anywhere, but he has a point
The notion immediately needs to be destroyed and all those with it.
Then I learned what he’s like.
I quickly got rid of them.
Butchered by a monster that eats rivers.
Yeah, that's called style you dense aussie fuck
AI has a place, but I will never consider it an art form. There's nothing of the creator in it.
Also, it looks like the DVD cover art of a porno parody.
But ya gotta make a quid some way when ya lack talent.
I recommend a wood chipper
(Nothing against sword or being weird (I really like Skallagrim ) but that one raises a lot of red flags for me)
Sort of an early 2000's teen cartoon style sure (Think Magas XLR, Brace face, those sorts of shows).
Dude could make money off that style and make it his own if he just put a minimum of effort in
It's a studio that's made many, multiple animated movies for children, adults, and timeless classics for all ages, and the art style is different, movie to movie.
People who do this have no clue, so they think they can distill decades of different art styles into one.
I feel bad for Jazza, having to watch his big bro completely derail from loving swords and castles to being a rightwing piece of shit.
AND ALSO FUCK HIS SHITTY BOOK, HOLY FUCK IT'S SO, SO BAD
He'd fit right in with all the rw-grifting failed comedians, scriptwriters, and actors.
Thank you for bringing cogent thoughts to the cybertable between all the rage, jokes and death threats.
Plus, they mainly just create porn and want validation.
That's such a mean thing to say!
...about Porco! 😁
After all, he knew what side he was on.
WHO would think that actually looks better?
... or 3D movies ...
Honestly I wasn't being harsh enough.
How is that Shad? Like it?
“I couldn’t get aroused by the original animation, so I made her hot using AI.”
😉😁
Sorry, joking.
That guy is a tedious asshole.
Oh yeah that's soo much better it's like totally realistic now le me fast forward to the boinking part

Check your local theaters.
Mononoke Home is currently playing as they did a 4k remaster and it's likely showing in IMAX.
https://www.imax.com/movie/princess-mononoke
Holy crap, it was beautiful.
I'm kinda tempted to check if any of the old, HUGE IMAX screens are showing it, because I want to see that projected onto the side of what's essentially a 3 story building.
I remember when he was just the funny sword guy that made videos about what weapon would be good against monsters and how castles were cool
How far he has fallen.. for THIS of all things..
And ig, all the starting shit w/peeps for no reason and refusing to admit he was wrong too I guess
Well this and his whole obsession with SA and impregnating kids thing
Come back when A.I. can animate EITHER image with the skill and care that a human animator does.
"Can I have sex with it?" disguised as "here's my opinion about art stuffs"
Unfortunately the man is insane.
Pure ai copy paste garbage will always be garbage.
The amount of detail in minor things like the grass and trees would have you crying if you could comprehend it.
To call anything from Studio Ghibli uninspired just tells me they haven't actually looked at it.
And then they'll support a live action work of art only if it humanly impossible camera movements and tons of CGI. I worry what kind of visual art they actually like.
Why pollute the oceans when it can be dropped into an active volcano?
Shitting on an actual artist hard work over something a mentally handicapped monkey with Alzheimer’s could make with zero hard work put into it will NEVER make your ‘art’ accepted. PERIOD.
Fuck AI and fuck those that think AI will ever be real ‘art’.
I genuinely cannot believe these basement-dwelling hacks, even try and learn about creating art.
A sword nerd calling an Art style plain and uninspired?
srsly gtfo
I watched this guy for many years and it was fun to see him simping over edged weapons. But now he can scram.
Like it is not just the AI Shad.
But really that is the cause of these takes.
And you'd want to drop him in the Pacific, not the Atlantic, since he's Australian. Save yourself some shipping cost.
How are you gonna say the art style is bad and then point out the exact appeal of the art style?
AI quite literally can't match that because it's a code yoinking shit based off "color go here"
Plus all the smudge, too
That is because- since the AI cannot thing- it has no object permeance. Shirts turn to jackets turn to skin.
Hair becoming a hand, a hand having far too many or not enough fingers, pants turning into shoes, shirts being a part of a wall, the list just goes on and on
But people WILL notice when a moving image goes screwy. I remember an animation based off of this image, and the clothing just kept shifting as they walked. You can imagine the plaid did NOT translate well.
They're not doing real research into machine learning anymore.
They're just trying to create a marketable product.
Sure, there are still people doing research, but OpenAI and ChatGPT used to be non profit and research based and now they're simply profit driven.
AI isn’t art. It’s theft.
And second of all, ai isnt an evil tool but techbros have no souls and almost all ai was trained on stolen dreams and so one must assume that all images produced by it are as soulless as they are
Can’t get excited about Ghibli animation because I’m looking at the characters and machines and it’s so satisfactory. There’s only goodness here.
I’d say he should stick to writing books, but he should stop writing paedo apologia and is probably only a short what’s from using AI to write it for him
