The Tales of AI in Art Contests

New video! Aaagh, I would've posted this days ago but the internet in the cabin I was staying at was far too weak to upload a 19min video.

Let me know if you spot any mistakes. Started writing this like a month ago when the Pokemon story was brand new but womp womp my slowass missed the train on that, so I wonder if any of the info in here was new to the people who frequent art news channels, would love to hear that in the comments. I hope at least the jokes/commentary were entertaining.

Let me know in case I missed your name in the credits! And I hope the goofy depictions of the "audience" characters are ok with you! Felt bad for the characters that didn't fit in the scene, so I added a little extra detail on those ones. Struggled a bit to figure out IndieDev's character from the teeny tiny ref. Can send png's of all your characters individually too if you'd like!

Is the title and thumbnail ok? istg it's literally the deciding factor if people even click and I never got any clue what to do with it...
