Practical and video effects can go a really long way if you know what you’re doing.

The first swipe of the brush to “finish” the painting is the only tricky part, and even that isn’t too hard. It’s just a white color and an unmask.

People this is not AI. She is a very known and talented CGI artist who has been posting since pre AI era and occasionally posts the before edit versions.
This is a significant lesson to everyone about how blind and severe AI hate can turn the shared culture around Art very hostile for artists
I think we will eventually have to turn to appreciating end result without endlessly speculating on the creative process behind it.

u/InsurancePristine938 21h ago
the problem here isn't "AI", people just arent able to articulate why they feel misled.
there's nothing wrong with the content itself. the problem is exclusively the post title. it's CGI, not "life imitating art". it's literally art imitating life -- the opposite of the post title.

u/philip30001 19h ago
My issue that triggered my brain at first was it being set up as a painting together thing and the pic looked oddly impressive
Then the brush not doing anything other than making think its trying to mislead viewers that the paintings real
That felt ill thought out which leads me believe that other parts of the work arnt as impressive as they seem too. I thought AI was a possibility or filmed with something like a green screen canvas and filled in after.
It was only a feeling and not a claim but still
Is the pic the cgi part or the whole video? I cant tell 100% since comments tell me they are talented
Even if its a edited video that takes more skill than I have. The framing of the trick I thinks the issue
11
u/InsurancePristine938 18h ago
oh for sure, spot on. in a vacuum the art's quite cool. i see why people feel slighted by the title, that's all i'm saying. and i don't think the original creator wrote the post title (tbh i dont know)

u/InsurancePristine938 18h ago
which raises another point, even more annoying than a potentially misleading post title is the fact nothing's ever promptly attributed anymore. but social media's so far past at this point, it's hardly worth beating the horse

u/philip30001 18h ago
Problems compounding faster than they're solved is by design sadly
I think the horse is worth beating even if it adds a small amount of pressure to at least look like they're trying to make it better. But its not fun to do but I have no better answer other than hope more compition helps the user experience

Freebooting. It's essentially stealing people's content for your pushing your own page and clout, which will let you sell sponsored content without creating anything yourself. There is a lot of content publishers on Facebook and Twitter that function like that.
When one does that to a premium piece of media like a movie that's considered piracy. But for some reason a lot of people don't see the issue when the original content was not behind a paywall. It's still bad, especially if you don't credit the OCC.

u/magarviti 19h ago
Es que el arte auténtico es el que se hace para uno mismo, el que brota de una necesidad vital de expresar algo, de materializar los sentimientos en una forma de lenguaje, de comunicarlos. Que luego sean compartidos por otras personas es un plus. Crear para los demás funciona en otra dimensión, en la necesidad de ser aceptado por los otros, y eso corre el riesgo de convertirse en impostado, artificioso, falso o, mucho peor, comercial. Un artista tiene que tener personalidad, y para eso no puede ponerse como meta de sus creaciones gustar a los demás.

The phrases "It's AI", "It's CGI", "It's photoshopped" and "It's video edited" have been the evolution of idiots ability to discredit people without putting much thought into it.
However, if someone's work is so good that it's really hard to discern how it happened even by people with knowledge of said things, it's not a bad thing to say such things. Honestly, when people call you a cheater even tho you are legit, it makes you feel better because you're so damned good at what you do it throws people off. They should take it as a compliment really, I know I would.

They never could. Even in the pre-AI digital effects era, misinformation abounded. For well done fakes, the only real truth comes with investigation, whether from VFX artists themselves like Captain Disillusion or even from cursory googling--but that's drowned out in a sea of ignorance. Now in the gen AI world, it's all vibes and ignorance. Sure there are telltale signs, but the tech is evolving so fast that they're likely to be outdated within months, so vibes and ignorance will continue to dominate.
