I agree completely. From Technocratic to "Creatocratic".

The move from Technocratic to "Creatocratic" tools might be massive 🔥 Small AI epiphany 🧠 Highly sophisticated tools like Cinema 4D, After Effects and Blender (to just name a few I've had personal experience with) are highly complex, technocratic and not very user friendly tools. The barrier to entry is very very high, even if you're somewhat skilled in visual editing software of various kinds. Technocracy prevents creativity within the context of these apps. Your imagination is highly restricted and contained within your technical abilities. But what if this is about to change? 🤔 With the advent of Gen-AI tools, as well as the fact that AI is finding its way into tools of different complexities from Photoshop to Unreal Engine, we might find ourselves in a scenario where we're facing a paradigm shift. From a "Technocracy" to a "Creatocracy" where your imaginative output isn't necessarily capped by the knowing the in's and out's of highly complex software. Just like every iteration of coding languages have been about simplifying and making the process more intuitive, us creatives might find our selves in a similar process - which I think is fantastic. Don't get me wrong, there'll always be a time and place for the detailed specificity that highly sophisticated tools provide. Not to forget that many AI tools today are very technocratic (ComfyUI anyone? ^^) but with services like Stable Video and many more creating more intuitive user experiences around them - the future is looking bright 🔥 I'm certainly looking forward to a more Creatocratic future, how about you? End of AI stream of consciousness 💡
This will eventually be true, once these companies stop focusing on gathering as much stolen data as they possibly can and start working on novel training with small data sets. That is when Gen-AI will be not only a viable tool, but a paradigm shift in how creative projects function. But as long as LAION-5B is the backbone of all Gen-AI it is immoral and, likely soon to be illegal to use. It's also INCREDIBLY inefficient to require super computers to train on hundreds of terrabytes of data to produce decent results. We would already be there, but everyone is too busy increasing fidelity while ignoring actual function to con investors. An excellent example of this is Nuke's CopyCat node. It is a ground truth model that only uses explicit, small datasets to train a model that does one specific task. It takes away all the technical aspects of beauty work and actually makes it entirely a creative process. I did a 3 minute segment for Marvelous Mrs Maisel last year using only a paint node and copycat. Took me one week with 3 computers. All v1 final to picture. No roto, no tracking, no cg.
This is a mentally-stable response to the AI revolution, I think. Working with the tools to enhance our creativity rather than barking at the moon.
