What if only the intro fanfare was created with AI?
What if only one creature in the film is created with AI and everything else was done using pre-AI tech?
What if certain body parts of that creature were generated with AI, but the rest was then created/merged normally?
What if an overall shape was initially created with AI, but then the artist just used this as a base to start from and spent more time reworking it to their intended vision and no part was left untouched?
What if a green screen was used, and then AI was used to touch up the edges around the subject and the background?
What if AI was used to help brainstorm some ideas by the writer (as in they didn’t just copy/paste the output from the LLM)?
