MOTION IMPAINTING is this the next big thing in Animation?

From a research point of view AI is already speeding up developments in math, physics, medicine and whatnot (I could link some cool stuff if you’re interested), acquiring new knowledge all the time. (detection of Parkinson’s, cancer detection, optimization of existing algorithms, developing new medicine.) Doctors don’t know sh"t about their computers or programming but need their software all the time to be efficient.

The speed of discoveries by these AI are comparable to how great mathematicians would spend all their life solving one problem which takes today’s computer a few milliseconds. I’m not saying we should quit learning skills ourselves, but I am saying that spending tremendous amounts of time on a task just because you can does not make the result more valuable.

About schools: Here I’d only recommend some university. Otherwise students learn basic (often incorrect!) stuff they won’t use 75% of for the rest of their lives as well. Incorrect “facts” in physics, chemistry. Tons of religion (can barely avoid it). 75%+ of history is war related and missing details. Most people know multiple languages and at least 2 they will never use. Math? Teachers are so bad you’ll just learn from Youtube instead :slight_smile: . Programming? IT? Security? Psychology? Basic medicine? Basic survival skills? 0 people learn (and teach) it early on. They are considered specializations for people usually already in their 20s (ridiculous). Libraries (schools too) don’t have the books (like 3 educative books among 10.000 nonsense filled ones). Bloody shame how education goes downhill. I can talk negatively about it all day. Offtopic though. Most of those students they will do nothing else except pushing a button or two to get to results, you know that. Hell if I know how they stay alive.

Anyway, what’s to be done about that. I actually have some hopes for AI to be used for personalized teaching (instead of 1 teacher 30+ people), as long as they don’t teach the average crap. A lot of “specialists” I meet clearly don’t dig through research papers themselves, or don’t get through the basics on their own. Probably not knowing how to get to / through the info or ask the questions.

On the other hand, I see specialists working half a lifetime in the medical field with their own specializations and good education fail to do their jobs. Like specializing in one organ but failing to diagnose disease because they can’t diagnose other connections in the body (the brain, the immune system, psychological effects and so on). One doc sending you to the next. Can’t blame them for not having a ridiculous amount of info in their heads. This is another case AI (already) provides and enhances information to prevent disaster… Lots of people die of wrong diagnosis, wrong meds, meds OD, communication error, and just dying in waiting rooms and that all happens inside hospitals. An AI assistant trained on a f"ckton of medical info is definitely going to save lifes there. Docs which know everything and make no mistakes don’t exist. And getting 5 docs of the correct combination in a room at once is a fairytale.

Well we’re both here in a discussion of how to animate a fake virtual world. Nothing but fantasy lol :upside_down_face: . There’s going to be 1 in 10 million who give a crap for 5 minutes how much time we spent on a 3D model, and just want to see results that give them a quick feel good moment, or makes them money.
