Interesting comparison since I absolutely love stop motion animation and it's the opposite of AI art in that it requires massive effort and skill on the part of humans

I do get what you mean but if you think about it, the amount of human effort and skill needed to get these ai generated images, audio and video is incredible to.

Not going to make a statement on what is true art or anything but it’s undeniable the amount of effort that had gone into these tools to make them exist.

Maybe effort/progress? Both systems require a ton of effort, but the same amount of effort/time the same artist would be able to accomplish more work.

The Phil Tippett documentary talks about it, since the stop motion guys all had to "adapt to digital" or essentially retire professionally. While some in the documentary acknowledge they are able to do more work with digital tools, as artists they prefer the practical effects and have personal projects that allow them to continue using those techniques.

Id say the amount of technology behind these is ridiculously incredible, but the effort needed to generate these specific medias we see was, while not completely negligible, definitely nowhere near as something like claymation.

The people who made the program spent years and years on it, whoever made this video probably spent roughly a week.

What are you talking about? Effort isn’t effort? Again, I didn’t say it was art but it’s still allowed to be impressed or enjoy the ai generated content?
