Literally just mainlining marketing material straight into whatever’s left of their rotting brains.

    Okay, but the only reason that ai art could help that is because Indonesian mythology doesn’t have the marketability for a budget and real artists because capitalism. It doesn’t subvert the commodification of art.

      Yeah, and as long as we’re living in that capitalistic hellworld, AI art existing allows those stories to be told instead of the same old euromedieval-hobbit-meadow thing that’s the basis of every fantasy movie and game that came out for the last 60 years

          Just cause a computer can make it doesn’t mean anyone will see it.

          A lot of Indonesian people, and other people (like me) who are interested in other cultures would see it. It would at the very least begin the process of allowing cultural diversity to even reach the rest of the world

          As it stands now, poor people in poor countries don’t even have the funds/leisure time to start their own animations (or other similar hobbies). AI art solves that

          The reason western art/videogames/cartoons are so popular is not because the culture is inherently more watchable, but because only westerners (and Japanese) ever had the capital to fund their own animation studios. People watch media because it’s well-made, or because it’s already popular and other people are talking about it. AI art can’t fix the latter, but it can fix the former.
