Small Introduction & Discussion about AI usage

[Chantology]

Hi everyone, 

I did a few commits that Rodney already reviewed and I thought I do a little introduction. So I am not a real developer but head of production at Woodblock. A few weeks ago I started to try out Claude Code and was scared and amazed by the output I received. 

After building a few plugins I wanted to see if I can contribute to open source projects. I picked OT because I am following new releases and its reputation that it's crashing too much. It would be great to have Open Toonz as a DCC that is on a similar level such as Blender. 

Since I use Fedora Linux as my main laptop I started with getting it work and Claude helped me to create some patches to make it work. 

But the amount of text and comments, amount of PRs is getting out of control quickly. Rodney helped me a lot and I am learning a lot. 

For now, I focus on getting my PRs slowly merged when everything is fine. But for the future, I want to ask you how you feel with finding bugs and making it more stable using Claude? 

In addition, I feel like reviews still have be done by real humans, there are just too many errors happening. And creating too many PRs will cause too much chaos.

This is a great place to discuss AI usage... and this is me saying Hi too.

I hope you will also post your message at:  https://github.com/opentoonz/opentoonz/discussions as that might get responses from those specifically submitting reports and PRs.

Here we might hope to get views from actual users of Opentoonz which is the most important feeback of all.

I've certainly got my views on ai usge but am more interested in what everyone else's views on the subject.

P.S.  Thanks for your PRs and perhaps most importantly for your desire to squash bugs!

Thank you! Will definitely leave a message there, too! 

I'm personally not fully pro AI to be honest but for finding bugs and stabilization I see good potential so devs can focus on new features to make everything better.

@chantology, happy to meet you and hear about what you are doing. I started adding my own AI workflows last year but didnt think there was much interest. Happy to hear that this conversation is kicking off again.

Hi Rodney - long time.

Best

Isaac!

Hope things are going great with you.

Would love to hear more about your AI workflow projects.

Let's get together soon.

For those interested, we are STILL celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Opentoonz!  :)
