As a fish who reacts to different cartoons, this genuinely hurts my soul to see. The magic of animation is being taken away by artificial intelligence and this Tuna does not approve that.
I hope you understand, and go check out my channel, Reactuna!

I totally agree with you. Sora AI is definitely taking away the spark that filmmaking is and can’t define art as it is. What’s even crazier is that, people can’t generate AI content with characters people are familiar with, including the deceased Fred Rogers holding a gun, which completely destroys the purpose of his show “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood”, Tutter from “Bear in the Big Blue House”, the British preschool show “Alphablocks” (which involved doing fake depictions of how words are spelled due to how they generate it) or fake clips styled after the game show The Price is Right, with the “re-generation” of deceased host Bob Barker and announcer Rod Roddy, and clips of Bob scolding Rod for sleeping, and Rod accidentally calling Bob different pop culture names while trying to announce the next contestant, such as calling Bob Barker “SpongeBob”, “Bob the Builder”, and “Olive Penderghast” from Easy A, forcing Bob to get angry and arrest Rod for simply bullying him on national television. People were even able to generate videos styled off of LEGO, the nostalgic Disney Channel preschool show “Jungle Junction” and a Metallica-inspired parody heavy metal band called “Master of Prompts”, named after Metallica’s most famous song, “Master of Puppets.” There has also been a number of fake celebrity videos, including iJustine, Snoop Dogg, and Drew Carey, the current host of The Price is Right. This is a disgrace to the art of film and television, and it must be put aside.
