As with all things ai, it’s debatable. One way or another someone loses a job. You could make the argument that someone just wouldn’t do a proper storyboard since they can’t afford it and create stick figures, but he for sure can afford storyboard artists.

I don't think that one way or another someone loses a job with all things AI.

That's the lie the grifters are trying to sell. "Look we're gonna automate workers, you need to invest in the next industrial age, stop hiring humans".

The fear is selling AI like hotcakes more than the AI is producing.

And I'm hardly saying AI is worthless. It isn't. I use it on a daily basis for my day job. But it's not replacing workers just like Google search didn't really replace workers, the same way wikipedia didn't either. It just made things more easy to do quickly sometimes, and sped up information search and access.

I think people unfairly call it a "worse Google search" when it's a very different sort of tool, but very similar to the situation before and after Google and Wikipedia came out. It has its place but it's not everywhere, and it's not going to make workers redundant as much as that it's selling point. I used to say maybe customer service, but even then it's layer zero for dumbass questions and shouldn't have any sort of trust to fuck with accounts.

Storyboards are just cheap tools that filmmakers use to make films. I am not trying to be disrespectful, but hear me out.

Storyboards, to be honest, put filmmakers out of work...because they're just a cheaper way to find shots than hiring a film crew to shoot tests.

The art of storyboarding developed out of a necessity film producers needed to fill.

It isn't actually a true artform that stands on itself alone. It is beautiful art, and storyboard artists are insanely talented...but, if films didn't exist, neither would storyboards.

That's what graphic novels/comics/manga/etc are for. That's the art. Storyboarding is a day job for graphic artists who also write graphic novels/etc.

A computer can make storyboards for a film, and storyboard artists can still make graphic novels/comics/manga/etc for their art.

Storyboards simply help filmmakers find their shots cheaper than sets, actors, lights and cameras do. Storyboarding is a child...filmmaking is the parent.

AI is so well suited to this, that it would be ridiculous to not use it as the tool it is supposed to be used as.

Doesn't seem like most people in this post understand filmmaking. They're usually a lot more like a technical diagram than a piece of art, especially early in preproduction.

It's also really hard to explain what you want to someone without several revisions
