The quality is quite high, but an observation is the direction they're taking these models correlates heavily to the usage demand of China vs the West. Specifically, they're immensely focused on t2v for action / high effect shots. There's one human reference shot in the entire release page, and that one doesn't focus on dialog at all. For filmmakers I've talked to in the US, one of the biggest demands they have is v2…

I hear this a lot, but I observed this is no longer that simple. Like Green Book (2018) made over US$70.7 million in China. And one of the most popular films in 2021 was Hi, Mom (2021), made over US$785 million. Obsession (2026) is another one that is doing amazing in China, absolutely beating high action films like Supergirl ($12 million and going vs less than $1 million)

Supergirl is basically a lazy slob who is born with godlike powers, I can see why that doesn't play well in a culture that prioritises hard work and self-discipline.

I dont normally like AI videos but this was just amazing, by next year the tech will be perfect, cheaper, we are going to AI videos everywhere whether anyone likes it or not.

people like it. Maybe not older generations, but we're about to get a fresh new generation of people that will not have a lifetime of experience looking at human generated content, and so have no real bias against AI content. And then every generation after that will be born into increasingly a AI-video rich world.

This one posted above looks fine to me, even after five decides of looking at human generated content:

Honestly, it is frightening.

The emotional delivery is so flat and the words are phrased so awkwardly. They're still a lot of work to be done in this space before its believable.

There is a woman on twitter who makes seedance videos of her and Dario from anthropic, they're kinda weird but generally pretty high quality: https://x.com/CuiMao/status/2058458683781365873 (full collection: https://x.com/CuiMao/status/2082740754380984373 ) - seeing them was the first time I'd been impressed with AI video gen.

Not a fan of this AI slop. We should boycott it

For first of us without twitter: https://xcancel.com/CuiMao/status/2058458683781365873 I can not believe how good the AI video has gotten. In one spot the written letters were obvious AI. Other than that - I couldn't find a thing.

the thing that upped the immersion was the the way it emulated the optical zoom when switching from the 1x lense to the 3x lense

The older generation loves them the most. Sometimes my mom sends me several AI generated reels in one day and she doesn't care if it's AI or not she just finds them funny.

same here.

Also in my country there is trend of remaking the old songs, with AI.

modernised sound with AI voice singing and AI video. They have ton of views in YT.

Are they targeting movies or ads?

There is a ton of vertical dramas now (Duanju) made purely of AI. Even on chinese streaming services you find it.
