Video will have a much much higher bar to pass than text and I think it will take some time still.
Most of the content production industry is not going to survive generative AI. You can produce your own hyper-customized content on-demand and communities can form around sharing that content. From video games, to text based adventures, to porn - I'd be surprised if humans are going to be competitive with generative AI for much longer. Personally, I enjoyed going back and playing the old Pokemon games for nostalgia.…
I found voice based AI tools pretty expensive for anything practical (Elevenlabs), how are these videos getting made? Especially the wondercraft.ai one, backed by Ycombinator? Is that through investor money? And is the idea that if there are going to be enough buyers for these AI generated content, the initial expenditure is worth it?

I think this sort of proves out that video is a fair bit further away than just text-based reasoning becoming mass market. When you use just text the mind is able to interpolate away and/or fill in some of the uncanny parts. With video, it's just not possible -- the uncanny valley is novel at first, but boring in the long run. Video will have a much much higher bar to pass than text and I think it will take some time…
I'm imagining some kind of TikTok like algorithmic magic combined with this AI generated stuff is going to be a huge thing in the near future.

I recall some controversy over AI generated kids YouTube channels. Some people here seem to assume the target market for this AI generated stuff is Hollywood blockbusters or AAA video games. But really, we're going to see an explosion of content made for toddlers.

These are beautiful. Right now, the biggest issue with AI generation seems to be lacking the ability to generate a visual consistency with backgrounds, character faces, etc. Without the consistency, it's really hard to a movie with any sort of narrative. Without that, you're stuck with these small clips of 4 seconds. I've seen some resort to face swapping for post processing, but it's very tedious at the moment.
There are some clever folks on gig sites (Fiverr, Upwork, etc) who are feeding stock video into AI just for the "artificialization" of each frame, while visually retaining the same actors' features, clothing and background scenes -- which also allows cuts that are longer than 4s. The results are surprisingly good, as long as you can find stock footage of the scenes you need.
