I'm not on reddit this is hackernews- I am an indie filmmaker and a programmer amongst other things. Are you a bot?

Both and now they are one in the same.

No- but actors are unnecessary puppets- nowadays I don't need actors which is great for me as a director- as an animator you act out all the shots/scenes yourself anyway- and nowadays you can just do the mocap/change your voice etc- human actors are not needed anymore and thats a good thing. The status quo will slowly replace the human actors with ai one's.

Actors have been given this ridiculous unwarranted status in modern times- they are nothing but puppets so who cares what actors think? They are just puppets that play make believe that they don't even make up themselves = redundant.

Haha- yes a filmmaker for 25+ years- had an original self made/produced animated feature film in the Sundance film festival, have made 6 original animated feature films- I've made several green screen heavy projects in the past- they suck for everyone involved except vfx companies/software or plugin companies. I'm still making films- heavily modified game engine cg + mocap- green screen is terrible for everyone and its a good thing its dead.

Indie filmmaker who had an original animated feature film in Sundance featuring lots of green screen in it many years ago- green screen is dead- game engines + pure cg/2d anim are the future of indie film-

Directors hate green screen, actors hate green screen- obsolete visual fx artists larping as storytellers/filmmakers love green screen.

So its for mainstream film studios? Thats tired status quo stuff.

Photopea has ad's though- Photocraft doesn't- he may of made Photopea "by hand" but it is a direct copy of Photoshop- "AI" copies better and faster than "Ivan Kutskir " and doesn't include ad's- dude was just a temp human thief that needs to sleep and eat (hence the ad's) AI is a far superior thief

I use it everyday- I don't need Photoshop anymore- its faster and does everything I need it to do- the only other "creative" artcraft app I've really tried to use is Filmcraft, the Premiere replacement but I'm still using Davinci Resolve Studio as Filmcraft isn't as far along as Photocraft but Davinci Resolve Studio is slow, bloated, can't customize the UI and barely has an API so I can't wait to dump it

As a human artist/film director/animator/musician etc I view "AI" as just another tool in my toolbox and what a tool it is!

In animation/film production- studios would have a "TD" on hand- a technical director- a programmer on staff to tweak workflows for artists, build new tools etc-

Now my TD chills in VsCode waiting and working for me 24/7 in the form of Claude Code, Kimi Code etc

I can also have my TD embed another TD(Deepseek flash 4.1) into the new tools(making them smarter and more useful) my TD builds for me while I am in active production on the same PC

All of this allows savvy creatives to dream bigger as a single person is capable of anything a "big studio" can do-

So artists need to leverage these new tools and be more ambitious.

Aesthetics are dead- original ideas are it.

Just enabled it- Love Kagi!

That's a great one!

The tech industry took essential human things away from regular people and sold it back to them as metered services.

Social skills, friends, short term memory, dating, sex, intelligence etc

Tech intentionally exploits regular people for its own gain, intentionally breaking peoples brains for techs profit.

In short "tech" doesn't care about anything but the "bottom line" its the same as the military industrial complex- people break, people die, genocide happens and we empower it... who cares we're getting rich.

No one sees the faces of the military industrial complex but tech CEO's(the faces of the industry) proudly smile for the camera's and rub their billionaire lifestyles in the publics faces.

In short people hate the "tech industry" because it has taken everything away from everyone while enriching a few- and its all public.

Like others have already said- just disable the memory function- if you are hesitant about doing that- go read the memory file(profiled you) it has made on you.

You have the right to remain silent, the profile your LLM has made about you can and will be used against you in a court of law.
