My thing is usually you can tell AI creation from a mile away, I feel like no one is creative anymore just plug crap into a computer. Distortions prop using AI is absolutely amazing and that’s completely different but the visual creation of props is kinda a bummer for me. Who knows maybe they will be good 😬
I 100% agree with your opinion. It’s important to have real creativity go into an animatronic. If a prop is made entirely from AI, then there is no real reward/success to the person or company who made it. The talented artists at Spirit, SVI, and best of all, Tekky would no longer be needed, and jobs would unfortunately be lost. Maybe once in a while an AI inspired prop would be okay, but I think we should really just stay away from AI in situations like this.
As an artist, Ai can be used to get into. However, it shouldn't be used in over abundance and real artists should be involved with the process of designing props and animatronics.
That would be a big NO when being used by a company like SCAREFACTORY. The finished animatronic will look nothing like the AI image, it will look like garbage. And, the garbage finished animatronic will malfunction catastrophically within 3 hours of operation. That is, if the customer receives their prop at all, which given Scarefactory's history, most likely not. AI would be just another tool of deception when in the hands of an unscrupulous company like Scarefactory.
AI has no place in a designing process like this. Not only is it bad for the environment, steals from non consenting artists, and takes away creative jobs: it’s not reliable. Because of AI stealing from other real creatives, it’ll spew out the same generic stuff over and over again. Stuff that’s already been done before. No creativity, no sole, no real thought of how it’d even work as an animatronic even. Just pure generic designs or ideas that’d have to be saved by a human artist anyways. I mean did they really need ai to think of “pumpkin with limbs” “ghost with a skeleton face” “demon ram skull”? THAT’S their best results by using ai? It’s not impressive at all. And if they had those ideas and used those specifically as prompts, why not just hire a human artist to begin with? Because they’d need one to adapt it into something actually usable anyways Really disappointed that this happened, if I was someone in the market for big animatronics like that I would not support them or the company for making a move like that.
Me personally I believe AI should NOT be used to make animatronics and even if they do then they should not charge us as much for the props designed by ai because there was no actual person to draw out and design a prop so there’s less labor expenses.
If I want AI in animatronics I would want it to be a character that you could talk to and interact with using AI like Dr quantum. Not using it for designing the props
I certainly do not advocate for AI interference in the creative process in any genre. Be it Music, Art, design , or what have you . I'm cool with CG design , as usually a human creates the concept and uses digital means to draw, paint or sculpt it. However. I feel it is inevitable , and even unstoppable. One company will never let their competitor OUT DESIGN them. If one uses it , they will all follow suit.
We have to face it AI is the future now soon as these other Halloween companies gets their hands on AI it’s going to be over for the people that designs props which is really sad
Hot take I don’t mind it It’s not completely unoriginal the only thing they generated was the prop itself and not the mech and some people just need help coming up with ideas I think they shouldn’t have put the ai photo on the catalog though We should still have human artists though cause they need jobs
scare-factory comes out with mostly the same props every single year, same mechs, same molds, just different clothing and paint jobs yet they still needed to use AI to help them come up with more shitty prop reskins that already felt lazy and repetitive. sad af, really hope we don’t get anymore ai prop designs any time soon:(
What do YOU think? Should AI be used to design Halloween animatronics?
No it could ruin animatronics
Personally I think it could be used for inspiration, but not full on making the character design
hey we don,t know why were not so sure about these new animatronics coming 2025.
Ai is not real and ugly concept art. REAL drawn concepts are beautiful and real
The answer is obviously no, it makes uncreative and horrible designs
Flying phantom is definitely sick, but why is it 20 feet 😂
As an artist, people using ai in general pains me to see. Especially when it’s something I love like animatronics.

That demon skeleton thing is sweet too! I wish we got more hell like demons and good straight up ghosts/wraiths

Yes!!

Yes!!
Yes and no, we need humans for hands on, but AI can put it together to see what it looks like.
That would be a big NO when being used by a company like SCAREFACTORY. The finished animatronic will look nothing like the AI image, it will look like garbage. And, the garbage finished animatronic will malfunction catastrophically within 3 hours of operation.

Good points!

TOTALLY agree with you on everything! Great points!

Exactly! Agreed!
I really don’t like AI drawing the animatronics because you won’t see the real picture of the animatronics.

Seeing generative ai encroaching upon every aspect of life and draining away the creativity from so many different things is just depressing man
For real!!
We need living breathing artists❤
Agreed!!
I have a feeling Sunstar would try to do this.
I'm pretty sure they have been using it lol
It is quite literally art theft. AI learns from real artists and images.
We have a lot of SCAREFACTORYS Animatronics in our haunted house
That's awesome!
OH HELL NO BECAUSE THAT WILL BE SO FREAKY AS SHIT!!! 😨😨😨😨
I've used AI to come up with AI animatronics ideas
It's nice to play around with for fun/personal use for sure!
@GMHaunts so far I'm enjoying your video. Still watching it.
We have to face it AI is the future now soon as these other Halloween companies gets their hands on AI it’s going to be over for the people that designs props which is really sad
As long as the community complains, companies won’t do it.
Hot take
I don’t mind it
It’s not completely unoriginal the only thing they generated was the prop itself and not the mech and some people just need help coming up with ideas
I think they shouldn’t have put the ai photo on the catalog though
We should still have human artists though cause they need jobs
Hey, Griffin. I don't want AI to make animatronics.
Agreed!
Yes and no because I think ai could be used for a starting point but then actual people build off of the ai and make it an actual animatronic
Good insight
No bc ai tries to make something beautiful but Mario looks worse and it would be even worse with a Halloween animatronic
Nah. Human Elements should remain and designing and inspirations could be in tact. I mean, why not create some Pumpkin Abomination of your liking.
YES!!
Spirit Halloween Lowe's and home Depot do not take any ideas this is for entertainment purposes only and please do not use AI for animatronics lol
Very well said GM Haunts,, NO AI
I agree with you on this one.
Not a good thing, it's fine how it is already, human artists over AI any day
Maybe it should be
I Love Your New Video
Thank you so much! I'm glad!
scare-factory comes out with mostly the same props every single year, same mechs, same molds, just different clothing and paint jobs yet they still needed to use AI to help them come up with more shitty prop reskins that already felt lazy and repetitive. sad af, really hope we don’t get anymore ai prop designs any time soon:(
Ahhh, NO!!!
Agreed!
AI isn’t terrible, it is too overpopulated…
Hiiii
Hello!
Hmmm 🤔
Something to think about...
@GMHaunts secret about what
Are you talking about clowns don't you
I dont think so
