    This issue i’m describing isn’t about releasing more slop, it’s about giving shows the chance that fans been saying they deserved since their cancellations.

    The core issue here is companies not giving a shit. AI wouldn’t change that. If WB, with all those resources, who could’ve continued TT any time they wanted, suddenly generated a new season of TT with AI, would you really be satisfied with that? If they didn’t give a shit then, they won’t give a shit now.

    The original Teen titians ended at a cliff hanger, and if Warner bros isn’t going to finish it, well, now the fans can easily with ai.

    This would amount to nothing more than fan fiction though. Fans already have the means to do so without AI, and already do with fan comics, fan animation, fan games and fan novels. Sure not to the same scale, but that gap would remain. Having AI do it changes nothing here.

    Because, like I already said, ai gives the animation medium new voices

    Who though? What minorities are you speaking of? Again, nearly everyone can animate, as long as you put in the effort to get good at it. The exception of course are disabled people, but something tells me companies still wouldn’t hire them even with AI.

      The same scale, is actually very important, since we’re talking about fans using ai to finish projects. Is it fan fiction, perhaps, but it’l have the same quality standard from the oiginal show, and since ai can even recreate the voices, that’s also a plus for the fans.

      Here are few practical examples of who would benefit in the artist side of things from ai, but not limited to, disabled people, and people that, just can’t draw good, and don’t want to go through the process of learning to draw who might have all the ideas in the world that never get utilized because they couldn’t draw to standards, etc

      Now I just thought of this. Lets say you are someone who’s made a comic, but you don’t have the money to pay a big studio, and a bunch of voice actors to do your show. Ai lets you do the voices of the characters you created as you intended them as the creator of the comic in a smaller budget.

        The same scale

        The scale wouldn’t be the same though. Big productions will still have way more resources available than fans. The discrepancy would much more likely remain largely the same.

        but it’l have the same quality standard from the oiginal show,

        That’s a bold claim.There’s no guarantee of that at all.

        since ai can even recreate the voices, that’s also a plus for the fans.

        And also an ethical issue.

        people that, just can’t draw good, and don’t want to go through the process of learning to draw who might have all the ideas in the world that never get utilized because they couldn’t draw to standards, etc

        Those aren’t minorities. Drawing is, for the most part, a skill you can learn. If you don’t want to put in the effort to learn to draw, then why would someone put time into watching what you prompted to an AI? Granted, the amount of effort is probably not the same for everyone, but the point still stands. Even the most talented ones put in hours of practice.

        If you have a lot of ideas, there are tons of other roles you can fulfill in creative productions like scriptwriting, directing, producing and tons more. Animation productions don’t just rely on people that can draw. If you want to help, help in the way you can with your own skills. That’s more satisfying in the long run anyway. Why would you want a role that you didn’t put effort into learning when there are people who did? That’d get boring pretty quickly.

        Lets say you are someone who’s made a comic, but you don’t have the money to pay a big studio, and a bunch of voice actors to do your show. Ai lets you do the voices of the characters you created as you intended them as the creator of the comic in a smaller budget

        In this hypothetical, why do you need to be on par with a big studio? What’s the problem with starting small? What’s the problem with asking amateur voice actors that aren’t that expensive or might even do it for free? Many voice actors, animators etc get their start with small projects like that. Without those, they’ll never even get the chance. AI generated projects only muddy the waters.

        Things aren’t perfect from the get-go and that’s fine. That’s kind of the point. You actually get to have a journey of growth. Maybe that won’t give you instant gratification and you’ll probably struggle along the way, but is that really a problem? Instant gratification will only last so long until you want more and more. Find out what you’re good at and hone those skills. That’s so much more satisfying.
