Since this one has broken containment:
If you just NEED to read a book about a young wizard who ends up being a sort of "chosen one" go read Ursula K. Le Guin's 'Wizard of Earthsea' series.
Rowling wishes she was even in the same solar system as Le Guin when it comes to talent.

STOP. GIVING. ROWLING. MONEY.
If you are simply too weak-willed or unread to find some other fandom to base your entire personality off of, at least pirate the shit.

I am so serious when I say I think Abdul is going to completely change the way we as a nation talk to and about people who are hell-bent on making our lives fucking horrible.

Watched the episode multiple times for research - loved it! Also, painting this character made me fall in love with sketching owls.🦉

I got a few replies on my post that blew up a bit/got quoted in a few articles, from animation fans asking why I wouldn't want AI inbetweens/inking.
because they're part of the soul of animation!! Imagine throwing away everything but the meat slices in your sandwich. what??
After the controversial AI-powered DIOR director called in-betweening "the repetitive, mechanical part of animation, not the creative work" – hearing legendary animator JAMES BAXTER say "every single drawing in an animated shot is important" is a relief.

Concept art may be considered a thankless job, but the end result is something so uniquely beautiful and human. Disappointing to say the least that WDI would want AI anywhere near this art form.
NEW: Disney and Adobe have announced a multi-year strategic AI partnership.
Walt Disney Imagineering is already using custom AI models to transform hand-drawn sketches into fully rendered concept art and generate franchise-accurate creative assets for theme park development.
The partnership now extends to Disney Studios, ESPN and Experiences/Disney Cruise Line.
Adobe will now serve as Disney’s Official AI Innovation Partner, providing the company early access to new AI tools and custom models trained on Disney’s characters, environments and visual styles.
In the news release, Disney says the technology will help creative teams develop ideas faster while keeping the process artist-led and protecting creators’ work.

What saddens me the most is that from now on, everytime we’ll look at Walt Disney Imagineering concept art we’ll wonder: "but was that made by AI?"

I feel bad for the talented artists who are holding onto their jobs and forced to usher in this crap. I feel worse for all the talented people tossed a side to be replaced by AI. Disney is working towards removing creatives entirely. What a bleak future for animation.
Disney has partnered with Adobe to develop AI tools that turn artists' sketches into finished concept art.
The deal is the latest example of Disney's investment priorities in a year otherwise defined by layoffs and cost-cutting.
