Cel shaded 3d models?

Wait, you're telling me that computers have enabled us to have fewer artists and thereby replacing artists for a long time now?!

Just like pretty much every industry out there?!

And that it's widely accepted so long as people get their cheap plastic goods from China?!

And that the current outrage won't even be remembered in 20 years?!

Kind of, it hasn't replaced anyone though. 3DCG just became good-enough basis for artists to build on, what AI bros have been fantasizing and advocating for couple years by now, yet completely ignored and mocked over.

Which tells, AI hatred don't necessary come from what pro-AI thinks where it comes from, people potentially just find AI art rage inducing.

Like, not even specific technical aspect of AI is bad or could use improvements. It just sits at the wrong side of the uncanny valley, and arguments clump around that.

That's the real problem with generative AI.
