At first usage I'm not impressed. I've probably spent a couple grand on Seedance 2 to date, and I can't find anything google omni flash does better than Seedance from running a handful of samples through the system. You can find some of the videos I've made in my HN bio link.

Just curious - are you at all concerned about the legal implications of ai-generating property listing videos?

The legal risk probably lies solely with those who are selling the properties. They are responsible if the video misrepresents anything.

I think Hollywood is in for a rough era. The disruption is happening at break neck speeds.

you would watch a movie generated with the sterility of an LLM?

Me? No. My kids? I think they already have. I don’t allow YouTube in our house, but they for sure watch slop with friends.

Sure; why not? It has to be better than some of the absolute garbage that's out on the various streaming services today; right?

AI is already in a bunch of creative workflows. Just look at modern Photoshop. Selecting and hitting delete has AI infill for the background replacement.

Creates can these video gen AI in various ways. There are some youtube channels of people using these in creative workflows that are really impressive, from mocap replacement, character insertion, background replacement, changing camera angle in post, animating/inserting characters from character boards, animated between stills generated in traditional methods, etc. It's not just "prompt and generate". It can be, because it's easy, but it also doesn't have to be. It's a tool.

I'm an AI optimist. But AI video is probably the one thing that does depress me. Seeing that we can make anything visually, there's nothing that impresses me visually. I watch a video that two years ago I would've thought was really cool, and now my first thought is, "Yawn, is this AI?".

Video, more than anything else, is the place where I really care if something is AI or not. If I could get a TikTok that had no AI usage -- I'd be in. Which is weird for me, because I'm typically the guy who is all-in on AI.

Browser crashes while scrolling because of all the auto playing videos. Please use IntersectionObserver to pause the video when not in display.

It keeps crashing my browser as well. I'm on Microsoft Edge.

It ruined the whole category of "cute animals acting goofy" content for sure.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hollywood is already in a rough era but it’s because they can’t create original human stories any more. This tech won’t change anything.

Yeah, during most blockbuster movies lately all I can think is: "All pixels, no plot."

Project Hail Mary was largely real sets and a puppet.
