recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Hey OP? Thank you for articulating something I've been trying to get clear in my own mind for a while now.

God it has to suck being Verso.

You're a memory. A fragment. Imagined into reality based on a guy who died to save his family. You want so badly to die to save your family, but they aren't your family. You love them like they are your family because you were created to be him. You're not him. He's dead. You're immortal. He ran straight into death and so you were created with the same impulse but you can't do it. You literally cut yourself in half to make other people laugh. You watched a guy die for your sister the same way you did, except it wasn't you and he wasn't real and you're not really her brother and she cares about him far more than you. You want to die so badly. You were born wanting to die. You're not real, and your mother, who you love, is dying to keep you alive. You aren't really alive. Your family is tearing itself apart trying to kill you. You can't die.

Maelle asks "If you could grow old... would you find a reason to smile?" and we do not hear Verso's reply, or even know if he replied at all. Because fundamentally, no matter what Verso said, Maelle was probably going to do the same thing - resurrect all of Lumiere and live in the Canvas, refusing to acknowledge that it will slowly kill her. It's also notable that she never says she'll let Verso die - only grow old - so there's no guarantee that Verso would ever get the release from suffering that he craves after an incredibly long and hard life.

And then we see Verso. And he's older. And he doesn't smile.

I sort of love the fact that OP brings this up, mainly because Verso is so so careful with what he alludes to while he's with the expedition. It really shows where both Verso and Maelle sit with things.
