Buda.tv CDs Martin Dasnoy and Dalmiro Buigues cast a half-naked dolphin in this comic and mildly apocalyptic in-house short film that ponders the serious side effects AI could have on the art and craft of animation.

Martin Dasnoy and Dalmiro Buigues: “Today, artificial intelligence is increasingly penetrating our industry, and its advancement is an inevitable reality. However, as creators, we must not rely exclusively on the automatic and unrefined results produced by this technology.
 

“The history of our industry teaches us to embrace new tools, but never to surrender our control, creative essence, and talent to a machine.”

 
“Being creative means being discerning, detail-oriented, and putting passion into every project. It involves bringing our knowledge, experience, emotions, and, most importantly, our humanity to the table.

“The history of our industry teaches us to embrace new tools, but never to surrender our control, creative essence, and talent to a machine. AI should be seen as an additional resource, not as a total replacement or a final output that robs us of the creative process.

“The ideal future envisions us working as we always have, just adding AI as another tool in our arsenal. But the key is to preserve the freedom to experiment, learn, explore new ideas, and dedicate time and love to the details. Because true art lies not only in the final result but in the creative journey that takes us there.”
