So in addition to worrying about fake AI stuff that is presented as real, we now also have real stuff presented as fake AI.

To be fair, we've always had startups pretending they have "AI" or "machine learning" but it was just mechanical turk or someone on upwork.

Ten Finger Automation or Wizard of Oz are the terms my entrepreneur/investor group uses.

AI Mett Porker (I see what you did there) Maybe in my lifetime an AI could generate a few more seasons of Firefly (that got cancelled too soon)? Another AI challenge would be to super-impose Harrison Ford onto Alec Baldwin in the movie Hunt for Red October. That would give nice continuity to the Jack Ryan character across the Tom Clancy movie series (Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger)

Or you could replace both Alex Baldwin and Harrison Ford with Ben Affleck, since he was Jack Ryan in The Sum of All Fears.

The interesting thing here is that Matt and Trey have codified intentionality as a primary writing tool, and whatever this is, doesn't mention that once. That's a pretty major thing to overlook, like a blind spot or achilles' heel of the AI devs. In fact, this is a blind spot of ALL AI that I've yet seen. Matt and Trey approach writing scenes with the following intent: if a scene can be described as following up a pr…

I’m not entirely sure I get it. You can literally prompt the LLM with “therefore” or “but,” and it’ll continue. You simply take the text generated prior and append “therefore,” and it’ll keep generating. If you want to lend more intentionality you can frame it with “therefore ” and it’ll continue generating with that intention.

I’ve been up all night flying internationally but I might have misunderstood.

Beyond not being similar to Matt and Trey, I've started being able to recognize ChatGPTs writing style. It loves re-iterating a portion of what was said by it or someone else - "yes, AI could be a tool to ..." Which makes for awful entertainment writing.

The joke about Trump was pretty good, though.

I skimmed the paper and didn't see an answer to this: how much of the video did the AI actually generate? how much of it was touched up by humans and how much of it was actually drawn/animated solely by humans?

Judging by the rendered samples on the page, I'm gonna assume only the assets (backgrounds and characters) were AI generated. Animations, text, and camera movement were all done manually.

So not even the script was written by the AI?

That's true. And the term mechanical turk by itself refers to an even (much) older 'fake' AI!

Why’s that a worry?

I assume you agree with the worry about the first part (fake pretending to be real). For the second part, I left out the word, and was more thinking about 'wondering', but I agree the sentence structure suggests 'worry'.

I agree it is not a worry, at least not of the same kind. I do worry a bit though about assuming something and reasoning/discussing with that premise, which is nullified if the premise was wrong.
