"If it's bad it's generative AI, if it's good it's regular AI": the debate over AI labels
amplifiedamp · x · 2026-10-20
A debate over AI in animation: the original author argued their tool was "AI-assisted," trained on libraries they built to automate a tedious part of animating, not generative AI. The resharing comment mocks the double standard: "if it's bad it's generative AI, if it's good it's regular AI — please do not look at the underlying technology." It highlights how the community's moral distinction between generative AI and AI-assisted tools is breaking down.
