Dean for the School of Animation & Motion @ SCAD.

Educator. Researcher. Tinkerer.

Bonsai, BBQ, and the persistent urge to sketch cinematic things.

Can finally afford Warhammer 40K.
I don’t think it can be changed, the momentum behind these kind of tools is already too great. As educators we need to adapt our assessment and teaching & learning strategies, ensuring that we continue to challenge students to think critically.

It’s essentially OneNote/Notion, but trains a large language model using the materials that you link into the notebook. The notebooks can then be shared with other users. Students could effectively move through an entire degree program feeding and training a single AI chatbot for their own use.

Same energy as that Gus Van Sant remake of Psycho in the 90’s. Unimaginative. Unnecessary. Undercooked.

100%.

Crabs. Evolutionarily superior, and proven so in multiple instances.

Put a 4ft tall intelligent crab in my house and I’ll write you a cheque!

Pretty embarrassing, but a perfect example of GenAI’s inability to neither provide effective iteration processes nor reliably replicate patterns across complex models.

I’m very much on the side of VFX/animation artists, and have spent a good chunk of my professional career training thousands of them.

AI isn’t going away. So it’s needs to be wrangled, legislated and democratised. It can be used ethically, in ways you described, and taken out of techbro hands.
