And it feels like we can't, there's not much we can do to stop it. I think you're not going to see big production companies doing that just yet because they're too exposed. But there's tons of little independent businesses that will use that shamelessly and make money from that. It's a bit of a shame for sure. At the same time, I think AI is amazing.
In other ways, it's a great progress, and I think it will bring a lot of good stuff. So I'm worried, obviously. I think it will take the jobs of quite a few of us, for sure. But I'm also pretty confident that it's not going to make artists disappear at all. I don't think so. One of the things that I like to... to take as an example is the fact that we have an interest in what people do.
It's one thing that a machine can do this or do that. And we're impressed the first time a machine can fly. It's amazing. And then nowadays, everybody gets on a plane, and it's fine. But if someone goes out and builds a little bike with little wings and manages to fly with his own energies, people will be amazed. Not because he can fly. We can go to the moon.
It's because it's a human performance, right? And that's why we put tens of thousands of people in stadiums to watch people run around a ball, you know? Why do we do this? Because it's the human performance. We love to see people do things that are interesting, right? And I think it doesn't matter if a computer can draw an amazing picture and make an amazing film. We'll be like, yeah, great.
I'll play the game. It sounds fun. I'll watch that movie. It sounds fun. But when a guy comes along and does something beautiful, you'll still be like, wow, this is amazing. You'll still be able to measure that it's a great achievement that an artist can do this, paint this, paint that. So I think we'll keep an interest for what human made things are, you know,
Yeah, I agree. It feels a bit soulless, right?
Yeah, I agree. But at the same time, I feel like with time, AI will get better at doing things like this. And it's also about who prompts the AI to do something. I think there's a way to prompt AI that will make some interesting content. And I do follow on social media some AI creators because they use it in a way that would not be viable by normal artists.
The way they produce some imagery, each one of them would take so much time. You would not see that kind of content already just done by humans because it's too much work. And that, in a way, if they do it in an interesting way, you get something interesting out of it, right? And that's cool. So I think it's about who does it and how they... how they direct the AI to do something interesting.
So I think it's okay. AI can produce something interesting as long as there's a direction behind it. And also it has a lot of, like you said, with your child, you can go out and create something. So for example, I had a friend who had this card game project and he can't draw and he wanted to sell this card game project to publishers.
and used AI to generate different card looks and styles for his card project. And yeah, it's great. You get sort of a preview of what it could be, and that's very, very handy to be able to do that. With the project, if the project gets made, then you hire an artist to create the final visuals. I think that kind of use is fine. In animation as well, you'll see clients come in with a pitch.
Usually they'll be like, um they'll be saying i want something a bit like this and they might have a reference or something and nowadays they come in and like they've already generated graphics and like i want it to look like this and they give you this ai reference feels a little bit insulting like come on you know what are you doing and it's kind of weird because they come up with this
very sort of amazingly crafted thing in a way. And you're like, I can't animate this. And this is beyond human. It was certainly not in your budget that you want to use. Right. How many years do you have?
So there's some funny situations like this. But I can see the use of it nonetheless. I think it's getting more and more used and can be good. But I do worry that it will shrink the industry at some point and then people can... We'll be able to do art, but may not be so many people that can make a living out of it. I don't know. It will be different.
I think it will be interesting when you have a good interface to work with. So imagine a proper Photoshop kind of application that has really good tools that you can really use to craft something with AI. prompting a bit of text, and then you kind of hope that it will give you something good. And when it gives you something, there's not much that you can do to change it.
And there's a difficulty to create something that's consistent. So for example, for me, maybe if I wanted to use it, let's say we're in the future now, and AI is really easy to use, and it can do anything you want. Well, what I would probably do is that I would probably design my own characters, still draw them, And I could use AI to say, hey, can you refine my drawing?
Just make it look a bit better. And I would say, I want more contrasted colors or something. And I could say exactly what I want. And I could say to the AI, just do a 3D model of this. And then I could go in there and then draw over it to fix things. I don't like the belt here. I'm just going to do that. integrate this into it and it would be seamless.
And then I would be like, okay, now I'm going to do a little storyboard. I'm going to make it simple, do very quickly some thumbnails that give it a good idea of the story. And I could just give that to the AI and kind of generate with my style, what I designed.
and creates a story that I want to see, it would be quite satisfying and a kind of quick way to get to something that looks good without too much work. And I understand that if everybody can do this, then how do you make money from it? It's another question, but I think a lot of people could create their own content that way as well. That would be interesting, I think.
it's hard to imagine everything we could do. But I could see myself use it if I was kind of born with it and still want to draw and still use it at the same time. I think it could be interesting.
Oh, well, I don't know. This could be a little bit political. I don't know if you want that on your show, but it's because I'm sort of reacting to what's happening in the news. And one of the things I want to do is to encourage artists to speak up a little bit. not necessarily in a controversial way or in an aggressive way, but to sort of take a stand a little bit on what their values are.
