What working with AI in a professional creative pipeline actually looks like, per a practitioner
nptacek · x · 2026-10-14
A widely shared practitioner thread details what "working with AI" really means inside a professional creative production pipeline: enormous amounts of drawing, design across art styles and systems, math (action potentials, attractor basins, graph theory), research, prototyping, storyboarding, concept art, plus project planning, team direction, building internal tools, hiring artists, modellers, riggers, animators and coders, and interactive client sessions built around image models to pre-build animatics before budget milestones. It pushes back on the accusation that AI creatives just want a machine churning out slop — AI is one part of the pipeline, not a replacement for the craft.
