On the gift scale, an AI thing is worse than an envelope with cash.
I remember the day when my dad gave me $100 in an envelope. One of the worst days of my life.

I think for something like this, creativity is actually a detriment. You're not going to win an award for an extra-special video, you don't really want to draw attention away from the couple towards your clever editing you know?
I think this is the case more often than people want to admit. A lot of genres demand the expected and often demand even the cliche and you better have damn good reasons for straying from it. Usually it takes a lot more skill than most people have to successfully deviate from genre expectations in a way that doesn't make things worse . If you're making a wedding video, you better stick to the genre expectations unles…
The vows were also AI generated.
Doesn't put creative effort into video editing. Complains about end of creativity in edited video. Ok?
Maybe I'm an outlier, but personally if a friend used ai to make me a gift like in TFA, I'd be pretty offended. Using AI shows that you didn't care enough to even think about it on your own. When I see a business use obviously AI generated imagery, I think "I'll stay away from them, they clearly don't care enough to do things the right way." It's a sign of disrespect and a lack of care. I know my partner thinks simil…
What if I used no AI in writing it i.e. it was all heartfelt but used AI to literally edit a video together? The author says "Two videos, with different stories, shared so many similarities that most people thought they were roughly the same. Same similar tone of voiceover with cadence. Same cutscenes of flying over empty beaches, and navigating forest trees and stars/universe, and same narrative: after years of evol…
Because there's no value in something that you offload to AI without effort.
If it's something that anyone could do, without skill, why would anyone be impressed by that?

I wonder how many parents are looking forward to the day their kids can just talk to a computer and have an LLM produce all the works. That'll be something to proudly hang on the fridge, yeah?
This thread inspired me and I made this prompt for you: “A comic of a kid and his father standing in the kitchen. The father is pinning a page to the fridge with a magnet while the kid stands there, proudly watching. The page is an image depicting a comic of a kid and his father standing in the kitchen as the father pins a page to the fridge with a magnet.” Edit: I decided that without effort, a gift can fall a littl…
Also a pretty great demo of why original content creators hate LLMs for stealing all their work.

That was good for a laugh. And of course it is so typically AI. Superficially pretty incredible, and then you start to spot the errors. And they are the kind of errors only an LLM would make, not a human. Also a pretty great demo of why original content creators hate LLMs for stealing all their work.
NOT ME!
I look at This Is Colossal [0] and see how art and creativity is alive and fresh as ever. There is no end to creativity. [0] https://www.thisiscolossal.com
I would like to share your optimism… I follow Flash Art magazine, and many other magazines about arts… to find something really nice - not extra, but nice that is not a copy of copy or empty or nihilistic - is quite hard. After few pages at This is Colossal, Are.na, Dribbble, Deviant Art, It isn’t happiness etc… it is similar to millennial grey plague. OP’s example with similar wedding videos shows trend. Pareto is e…
People are just trying stuff out! In the mid 90s I received several homemade clipart color inkjet greeting cards from relatives that had just gotten a computer. Trend didn’t last too long.
One of my favorite family photos is us standing in front of a big banner we made with dot matrix printer celebrating my grandparents 50th (this must have been in the mid-late 90s). It was so incredible to me at the time as a very young man, there was even fonts! I think it was Print Shop Deluxe for Windows 3.1/95.
