AI video won’t need Hollywood. Putting IP into it was a dumb idea. Mickey Mouse seductively polishing a candle stick? That’s not what they wanted, but that’s what they’d get.
When AI comes for movies, it’s going to show how crappy (most) movies already are.
I am not afraid of AI taking over movies, everything AI makes is suffocatingly derivative and boring.
Umm… just like Hollywood.
No, the difference is it is actually possible though unlikely for an original movie to come out of a big studio.
AI because of the fundamental design of it, will never ever make anything original.
Sure it will. Give it a prompt and it does the work. Make the prompt original and it will be original. AI doesn’t choose the story… humans do.
I just don’t think you understand AI beyond chatbots and low effort memes.
You don't understand AI beyond your scifi slop fantasy of what it is rather then the reality that it is possibly one of the worst lossy data compression algorithms ever designed.
Without a constant influx of high quality human training data curated by humans AI is capable of nothing novel. It is a highly lossy data compression algorithm that is somehow so processing inefficient it has become an existential environmental problem because of the electricity use required to sustain this bullshit.
Yeah, you’ve got no idea what AI is if you think the compression is out of the user’s control.
You should look at the PROFESSIONAL AI tools for video creation that involve an entire render process for the 3d scenes it makes, that import into apps like Blender, Maya, etc. Auto-rigging and motion generation basically allows anyone to make an entire movie.
You’ve shown you know nothing about AI beyond OpenAI’s consumer offerings.
You can hate AI all you want, but you sound uneducated af.
You are deflecting from my points by appealing to a list of specific references to tooling when that doesn't address my actual point.
These are all lossy data compression algorithms trained on sets of human curated data created by humans. Sure you can make some use of them, but they are massively inefficient from almost every angle versus humans creating tutorials, humans creating project templates and easy to understand user interfaces, humans making teaching materials for other humans, humans answering questions on forums, humans just doing HUMAN things....
ANYTHING you argue as a pro for AI is just a poorly extracted benefit from a curated set of human data that could have been better leveraged by humans helping humans create new things directly.
You sound like you are in a cult.
I mean, you're right on the money. In its current form AI is literally a powerful autocomplete. It's completely incapable of inventing new ideas or creating original "thought". Simply because of how it is designed. This guy seems to have drunk the cool-aid 😁
At the end of the day, whatever it outputs is only ever an amalgamation of stuff humans have already created, and in fact the output will trend towards the average content of all the training data.
You have no idea what you’re talking about. The data YOU are missing is vast. The reason for this is you have no idea what it’s capable of beyond your current understanding.
You’re refusing to educate yourself to hold onto an idea… that’s cult behavior.
It’s fine to hate AI, but do it with education and you won’t come off like some Christian cultist
How am I coming off like a cultist?
“I don’t have to know anything about AI to hate it. I have my beliefs and they are correct. No information exists beyond my beliefs. I have not attempted to gain any further understanding.”
Where in my comments have I said I don't have to know anything about AI to hate it?
Where have I claimed maximally that no information exists beyond my beliefs?
You are Strawmanning me and it is blatant.
Since you don’t use AI, you won’t be able to use an LLM to answer any of your questions.
So outline for me your understanding of how I could use artificial intelligence to make, for example, a 3-D movie similar to Pixar movies. Explain to me the process I would go through.
Outline for me why that wouldn't be a waste of time versus going straight to the tutorial videos and materials the AI stole the content from?
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury…. I rest my case.
