Reuploaded this video, now with a crappier intro animation, after it was initially up for all of half an hour closing Monday evening. The fashioned model’s intro animation, which my editor and I put relatively quite loads of time into, was deeply unpopular with the fans. Of us get been transvestigating it to say it was AI. It wasn’t, but I watch why folks idea that. As I’ve acknowledged sooner than, I’m not hostile to generative AI on theory, but I never get and never will exercise AI within the creation of my hang movies. Composed, there was a deeper criticism that I felt had a level: whether or not it’s AI, that extra or much less anodyne infographic animation vogue is terribly un-Tor’s Cupboard of Curiosities. TCOC must soundless stare handmade, and that animation positively didn’t stare handmade. A pair of of my longtime fans get been treating the animation as a staunch breach of belief.
I used to be barely pissed off initially, but by now I have faith it’s comical & endearing that I had to intentionally construct my manufacturing values worse to web the belief of my target market. I cherished the unique animation. And I don’t assume any individual would get hated it sooner than the AI art upright hassle. However I love this one too, and I have faith it suits the vibes of the young folks’ loosely described alien locate loads better. The fashioned model with the slicker, larger-manufacturing-value animation can soundless be watched on the Tor’s Cupboard Patreon. Nice thanks to this episode’s unprecedented editor, Ooyaeenah Ahmed (who even has name), for rolling with the punches.
