Movie director who spent time with OpenAI Sora says AI isn't replacing them anytime soon. Its useless.

I thought this was interesting and a lot of points made make sense. Particularly, consistency and controlling what comes out. Even when the best prompts you're gambling on what you will end up with the end result. Not going to post the whole article here. Too long.

Expectations Versus Reality

A few months ago, OpenAI showed off “Sora,” a product that can generate videos based on a short prompt, much like ChatGPT does for text or DALL-E does for images, and I asked myself a pretty simple question:

"...how can someone actually make something useful out of this?" and "how do I get this model to do the same thing every time without fail?" While an error in a 30-second-long clip might be something you might miss, once you see one of these strange visual hallucinations it's impossible to ignore them.

A month later, OpenAI would debut a series of short films, including one called “Air Head," a minute-and-twenty-second-long piece about a man with a balloon for a head, one that changes sizes 23, 24, 26, 27, 29, 32, 34, 39, 41, 42, 43 and 45 seconds into the piece, at which point I stopped counting because it got boring.

The very nature of filmmaking is taking different shots of the same thing, something that I anticipated Sora would be incapable of doing as each shot is generated fresh, as Sora itself (much like all generative AI) does not “know” anything. When one asks for a man with a yellow balloon as his head, Sora must then look over the parameters spawned during its training process and create an output, guessing what a man looks like, what a balloon looks like, what color yellow is, and so on.

It repeats this process for each shot, with each “man with balloon as his head” character subtly (or not-so-subtly) different with each repetition, forcing users to pick the outputs that are the most consistent. Achieving a perfect like-for-like copy isn’t guaranteed, but rather, filmmakers must pick the ones that are “good enough.”

This becomes extremely problematic when you’re working in film or television, where viewers are far more likely to see when something doesn’t look right — a problem exacerbated by moving images, high-resolution footage, and big TV screens.

I have a response to that.

“I predict the Internet will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse.”

25 years on, here are the worst ever predictions about the internet

Back in the Nineties, many experts didn't think the internet would live to see its first, let alone 25th, Internaut Day.

AI will dwarf the ubiquity of the internet within a quarter century

Ai = elaborate plagiarism.
That will have racial bias.
If you are black. You need to be against ai.
Plus continue championing reparations.
While fighting for rights culturally as a black male or black female.


Do not support ai.

it is an elaborate device of misappropriation.

it will still cut down jobs. still be used as a fast way to do certain things

Work in the music sector, AI ain't about shyt...maybe for some TikTok videos but nothing professionally made..

AI in general is a mess overall, despite the progression.

Imagine trying to get a good album cover for a mixtape. You rely on the AI gods only to get you a deformed koala hanging off of a building by it's neck, while the city lights shine down on such an ugly tragedy


Bad enough, AI material always have this superficial non-believable form of structure. I would trust a smoker to write me a script for a silver nickel, over an AI creation process.

That's just me

Creative people will win, hack, formulaic, paint by numbers content makers will be replaced easily.

Even with the parodies, and the "legit" content. AI will never capture the feeling of music. For instance, I tried out this LoFi AI generator, and it just felt wrong. The melodies were there, but on some real shyt, it sounded like stock porno flick music

AI right now is how VR was in the 90s, its a proof of concept but will never make a huge impact as much as the cheap ass greedy suits want it to make a impact.

Square biz, I felt threatened by AI a few days ago, when I was doing a mix. But it dawned on me that creativity will always trump over 0s and 1s. That feeling of listening to my mix and adding that reverb with the smooth transition had the marsupial like ole boy in There Will Be Blood:

Sure my shyt will get buried and overlooked, but man the grind and the feeling of being creative just hits

They say this now but Skynet didnt start off smart and a threat... it grew, it learned, it evolved...

I wouldn't mind if AI was getting rid of the mundane, but I don't get why there's a push to automate the stuff we love doing.

 

[Geek Nasty]

AI is trash and its going to get worse as it starts feeding itself its own garbage data

Google is already bad now Youtube is being flooded with trash ai generated content

That more so the CEO types who want to cut the budgets doing that so they don't have to pay the artist who do that kind of work so they can keep more money for themselves.
