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.
