Homo sapiens

Follow the guidelines on the website.

He quickly logged into the website of Mengguo Culture and Entertainment Company and found out that it was a subsidiary of Homo Sapiens Company.

On the official website of Mengguo.

There are various sections, including film and television, animation, music, video, literature, painting, newspapers and periodicals.

He found the sub-website Mengguo Comics in the animation section.

After filling in the identity information and details.

Not a moment.

[Congratulations to Mr. Luo Xuan, you have obtained the trial period contract of our company. Please follow this link to download the exclusive APP for employees of Mengguo Comics]

"Passed so quickly?"

Luo Xuan then thought about it. There are hundreds of millions of employees in Homo sapiens company, so there must be a lot of people in this kind of personnel review department.

He clicked on the link and downloaded the employee APP provided by Mengguo Comics.

The interface of this APP is very ordinary and the size is only about 0.3G. Luo Xuan quickly completed the identity registration according to the system guidance.

He tried the operation for more than twenty minutes.

I found that this APP is not like a work software at all, but more like a chat software. The employees of Mengguo Comics join each other's groups, which is a bit like DingTalk.

The work interface consists of the setting page, display frame, material library, and draft library.

Luo Xuan finished reading the novice tutorial, with an expression of disbelief on his face: "Can AI already do this?"

He quickly entered the oil painting of his sunbathing scene on the beach in the settings page.

[Generating...]

20 seconds later, the information was fed back to the supercomputing center set up by Homo Sapiens Company in northern Luzon Island. This supercomputing center is the dedicated AI painting supercomputing center of Mengguo Comics Company.

The total computing power of the Mengguo Comics Supercomputer Center is 8,200 times that of the Sunway Supercomputer, and it has a super database that stores a large number of pictures, painting materials, human models, and animal and plant data.

It is also equipped with a super artificial intelligence management system.

The artificial intelligence system of the supercomputing center instantly produced 100 beach oil paintings according to Luo Xuan's settings.

[Generation completed, please accept...]

In the display frame on the left, 100 various beach oil paintings appear one by one.

Luo Xuan's lips were dry and he looked through them carefully.

"Unbelievable?"

"Light and shadow...the proportions of people and scenery...the expressions are all very natural..."

"Incredible technology..."

Luo Xuan, who still doesn't believe in evil, is going to do something difficult this time. He wrote a short story on the setting interface.

The content of the story is part of a comic he conceived when he was in college. Later, he submitted it to several comic companies in China. Not only was it rejected, but the manuscript he drew was also lost in the mail.

Luo Xuan relied on his excellent memory to quickly recall the contents of the comics back then.

It was a story in the future world. The protagonist Luo Xuan was a college student from a poor background. He was cuckolded by his girlfriend. He was framed as a thief and was imprisoned for a long time.

After being released from prison, he returned to his hometown and was looked down upon. His mother had already died of depression. Luo Xuan locked himself in a room, and then his brain mutated, and he gained the superpower to enter the mirror world.

Then there is the story of revenge, killing monsters and leveling up along the way, and finally becoming the big devil.

He carefully wrote the settings for the first three episodes before clicking generate.

Still about 40 seconds.

The 100 storyboards for episode 1 have been printed and turned directly into a compressed package and sent to Luo Xuan's account inbox.

With trembling hands, he opened the compressed package.

The caricatured image of Luo Xuan appears on the front cover. When you open the first page, it is similar to Junji Ito's painting style. It is a full-color comic.

Although there are some problems with the details, it is not the AI's fault, but Luo Xuan's own settings that are not detailed enough. The AI ​​can only automatically fill in various background content based on the scene.

Luo Xuan looked very carefully.

Before I knew it, the sun had set.

But Luo Xuan seemed to have forgotten his hunger and exhaustion, and his eyes were full of excitement.

3 paintings, 300 storyboards.

He watched for more than five hours.

"Perfect, simply perfect. As long as I modify it a second time, it will be the picture in my fantasy." Luo Xuan picked up a bottle of Feizhai Happy Water and took a sip:

"Huh... hiccup... Homo sapiens company is really a terrifying existence. This technology can kill most traditional cartoonists instantly, no..."

Luo Xuan then thought about it. AI can't write plots by itself. Cartoonists still have a purpose, just like writing novels.

Wait? Luo Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart again: Doesn't that mean that domestic novel authors can also become cartoonists?

No wonder Homo Sapiens Company is not afraid of them leaving after they become famous. It turns out that they have already prepared a big pit.

After all, the number of professional cartoonists in China is definitely inferior to that of novel authors.

There will definitely be a large number of online writers entering the comics industry by then. After all, some novels have their own huge fan base.

Internet article authors are actually very conflicted about converting their novels into comics. On the one hand, they are very happy, but on the other hand, they are worried that the pictures drawn by the artist are different from what they imagined.

Now that there is technology like Mengguo Company, Internet article authors will definitely tend to do it themselves instead of letting others do it for them.

Of course, Luo Xuan still has a little confidence.

Because this APP also has a professional material library, which contains a lot of professional terms for painting, this will give art professionals with a professional background an advantage in the early stage.

But only a little.

Because there are other strange material packages in the material library, such as clothing materials, viscera materials, food materials, decoration materials, house materials, transportation materials, weapon materials, and thousands of other categories.

These things are virtual images generated based on real objects.

For example, in the setting, if Luo Xuan is on the beach, he can specify what shoes he is wearing, and the system can only match him with blue flip-flops based on the scene.

But if he is set to wear a certain brand of Martin boots, the system will automatically match based on this.

The material library is for novices to search for materials, because AI analyzes based on words, so the more precise the words are, the more accurate the generated images will be.

After all, the material nouns in the material library are equivalent to the official Latin names of animals and plants.

New Humans are the most powerful when it comes to applying AI painting. They can directly download the painting material library and accurately set every detail. As long as New Humans are patient, there is no picture that AI cannot draw.

Luo Xuan hurriedly cooked a box of frozen dumplings for today's dinner.

Then I got busy revising comics.

During the modification, he gradually discovered other functions of this APP, such as: synchronous modification, physical background, logical analysis, built-in materials, etc.

Synchronous modification means changing some content on one page. The system will prompt whether the entire page should be modified simultaneously, which greatly improves the modification efficiency.

The physical background and logical analysis are mainly to avoid some logical flaws.

For example, in real life, ordinary people cannot run 100 meters in 9 seconds, and there is no picture of a car door blocking an AK bullet.

AI says I refuse to cheat you.

Luo Xuan was also groping around, while asking the team leader and several colleagues on the APP.

That night, 10:20.

The 3-chapter comic that Luo Xuan revised was officially put on the shelves of the Mengguo comics section under the name "Mirror Man".

Luo Xuan has the copyright and adaptation rights for this kind of AI comic, but the rest belongs to the company. However, the company will give certain rewards every month based on the sales of the comic.

If they can create works that sell well, the human resources department of Homo sapiens will upgrade these external employees to employee levels.

In fact, the probation period salary of 500 gold yuan per month is basically equivalent to about 7,500 Chinese yuan according to the value of gold yuan at this time.

Coupled with other incentives and subsidies, this income can still make a living.

Thank you for your support (ω｀).
