Or Warhammer figurines painting, let’s buy them already painted

If you don't want to paint, and also don't want to pay somebody else to paint them, there's always various alternatives like printed out papercraft stands. Fold them, stick them on the base and you are ready to roll.
There's also a myriad of other creative ways to proxy your way out of the general costs (time, space and money) if you check out the term "poorhammer".
You can take already painted warhammer figurines, pose them, take a photo, prompt an AI to make that your first scene, and generate a hollywood level scene in about a minute or two.
Yes, sure, you can buy the figurine and get the joy of painting it. But there's new things you can do now too, things you couldn't dream about before.
But I'll grant you this, the AI coding extinction event is so severe that I do believe we need to support anyone trying to preserve any memory of it. Like, we need to build entire museums, one for each programming language.
But would you blame the figurine painting community for not wanting that?
If you want to do AI movies, join the AI movie community.
The hobby programming community isn't about vibe coding, that's what the vibe coding community is for.

if that's so awesome then why isn't everybody doing it?
I never dreamt about stuff like that, but are there actually people who are like "oh thank God I can finally make my AI movies with my figurines and other stuff I have laying around"
honestly you sound too enthusiastic about this, like Sam Altman "AI podcast about your kids" tier enthusiastic
People are doing it, but not that much, because while it generates some pretty good five-second scenes, it fails terribly at generating any long-form video. And by long-form, I mean 'longer than 30 seconds'.
I think what people want is to tell a story that's in their imagination, and no current AI is up to that task (at least in video format). Great for making an animated PNG for a meme, but not for adapting that fanfic you are writing.

I just don't think this is the case? I could be wrong but I tend to hear this most from people who are obsessed with AI, as in trying to find use cases instead of people using AI to get that task done
so far I've seen it be used in place of stock photos or still image scenes, even those are obvious and are a turnoff for me
but this concept of having a story in your head and then just being so relieved that now you can finally prompt an AI to generate a short film or something from that...
it's just a gut feeling, but I don't think most people are looking for that. having a story and then just sending it off to be generated where it'll inevitably look unnatural and a bit off, I just don't see how anyone would be wishing for this
What's the point of being this rude? People are doing things like this, you just have to look around YouTube.
This is what I don't like about the anti stance, it's just so often dismissive when people are excited about something.
he's talking about building museums for programming languages due to the "coding extinction event" and how you can make "Hollywood level scenes" with your figurines and that it's time to give up the joys of painting them and instead just prompt all day.
am I wrong to be dismissive of this? I mean seriously, if you read the post again it just seems so dystopian
