The thing I remember most about Toy Story 4 is that the CGI looked ridiculously good, to the point it barely looked like a cartoon most of the time, which was actually a bit distracting.

It's possible to layer additional generations on top, which draw from the data of the layers below, depending on the tooling. So you can, say, lasso an area with people in it, prompt it as empty and (maybe) get a blob on an additional layer that has them removed.

I don't hate generative AI as a technology. My anger sits where it always has, the billionaire class, who are trying to cram an interesting, possibly useful technology into every space with the express goal of making money above all else regardless of the damage it does. Also some AI artists can be extremely annoying with how full of themselves they are.

Some stuff made with AI stuff is can be neat and I've made some songs for myself as well as some art for a friend's restaurant in their GTA RP server (icons for food items etc), both of which I spent more time in audio/image editors than prompt engineering. The tools are quite terrible, not just in an incompetent way but because their functionality is usually geared for a creation process that's end-to-end generative AI. The most prominent AI music generators, both Suno and Udio, have an interface and "work" flow designed like Spotify, by default you ask it to generate the lyrics for you and this is how it's been sold too. There's a glowy Rolling Stone article with the CEO of Suno and nowhere in it do they even mention that you can supply lyrics, instead they see themselves as a ~new form of democratized music~ where everyone gets bland junk generated from filtered keywords they supply. Features that provide more control and intent are more an afterthought and I see the same approach across most of the AI image generators.

You can make art out of this stuff, you can with just about anything, but most don't try.
