In a year or two it won't be an AI narrating your fanfic, the fanfic will be written, narrated, and illustrated entirely by AI.
The way the technology works is too shallow for that. The reason why AI text generation works decently across scripts is because that's measured in kilobytes with a very well-defined finite set of output elements. A 50-page comic issue has enormous interdependency of dozens to hundreds of discrete elements with billions upon billions of logical output permutations, with only fractions of a percent of fractional percentiles making any logical sense and many times over again that few being any good.And just like that, rather than creativity being decentralized and democratized, the ability to shape culture is concentrated in the hands of a few cloud server owners.
That's why there's so much trouble with hands. The basic methodology is reconstructing 3d objects from 2d images by brute-force pattern recognition, and thus small details with enormous variability are obscenely complicated to do anything with. And that's within a single still image, nothing compared to keeping the entire character design consistent across hundreds, possibly thousands, of instances.
You two are fearmongering about AI taking over all creativity, while I'm sitting here and immediately being ejected by the mangled false-text in every damned one of the things. To be blunt, these neural network models are fundamentally incapable of the required context formation, because the way they work is purely blind fuzzy logic. Tell me when somebody has made an AI to generate TF2 Source Filmmaker shitposts without Source Filmmaker or TF2 assets directly in the generation pipeline, then I'll take you seriously.
