From chatbots and automation, AI is now a headline topic because it is redefining animation. After that viral trend of turning personal photographs into avatars inspired by Studio Ghibli, the latest airwave in the digital world is a full one-minute episode of Tom and Jerry created entirely using artificial intelligence, and people have so many things to say about it.
An animated short was generated using the TTT-MLP, a new advanced AI tool invented by Stanford and NVIDIA. According to Artificial Intelligence News, the model can generate one-minute-long animated videos purely out of text prompts. In this case, the words were simple: "Tom chases Jerry through NYC office chaos." And this followed up on the nostalgic but futuristic homages to the beloved cartoon.
In the video, Tom enters an office building, boards the elevator, and settles in at his desk. As chaos unfolds with Jerry pulling a classic trick- Wire cut- Jerry is back, and now the cat-and-mouse chase is set in a New York City office.
My Friend's Reaction
After reading the news, my friends watched the video, and their reaction was priceless. Meanwhile, some didn't like it at all.
"I have been watching Tom & Jerry since my childhood. I am totally mesmerized by how AI has changed the concept of it", she said.
Another friend of mine said, "Jitna bhi AI karlo, Tom & Jerry ka animation presentation ke alawa sab kuch feeka...
Internet reacts
While the video is gaining traction on the internet for its stellar AI-induced creations, the reaction around the internet has been mixed. Some users marvel at the innovation, especially after the viral trend of Ghibli avatars. They consider the transition from such avatars to Tom and Jerry-style animation as telling evidence of the drastic pace at which things keep moving. "We have come so far..," a user said.
However, not everyone has welcomed the animation with open arms. Critics who have been confronted with a bamboozlement of glitches have termed it soulless while also raising an important concern about the implications that this automation might hold for human animators. These artists with varying, unique styles might end up getting sidetracked by the technology, the critic worries. Others were also seen pointing out some technical errors in the various outputs of the technology. "Looks soulless in my opinion... I am worry about animators who have a unique art style, and this will just steal all their effort," another user said.
The Future of AI in Art
As AI keeps improving, people are talking more about its impact on art and creativity. Some believe AI is a great tool that makes it easier for everyone to create art, even without formal training. It opens doors for more people to express themselves in new and exciting ways.
But not everyone is happy about it. Many artists worry that AI could take away the value of traditional art. They fear it might copy styles without permission and blur the lines between real human creativity and machine-made work.
On the other hand, it brings up important questions, like who owns the art and whether using someone else’s style without asking is fair. This trend shows how AI is changing the world of art and why we need to think carefully about where it’s heading.
