- Because I risk sounding contradictory —and because context always matters— let me, for argument’s sake, assume a different ideological landscape around generative AI, where profit motives and tech-bro nonsense don’t exist, and where anyone can train their own model and run it locally on their computer. :)
In the case of Skywards, the use of AI-generated images as "material" works well. The compositions are done properly, there’s decent transition between scenes, cohesion throughout, flow, etc. The show isn’t bad. It’s certainly not the greatest thing our eyes have witnessed, but it works well for what it is. Had it been paired with a fully transparent "Look, we wanted to make this, but without AI we couldn’t have pulled it off" disclaimer, I’d be fine with it.
Honestly, I don’t see a huge difference between Skywards and, say, De Profundis — which borrows from Magritte, slaps on a random pixelated Isle of the Dead (original by Arnold Böcklin from about 150 years ago) at the end, and I’d bet half the intermediate graphics were preexisting somewhere within the internet vacuum. I could even say that, aesthetically, it looks less coherent than Skywards. - isokadded on the 2025-04-22 19:41:44

- That was unexpected! Pity that the bigger part of the graphical content is AI generated images though. Sweet tribute to Ultrasid. That was a nice touch.
