Or maybe, the limiting factor in one's ability to create art will be... creativity rather than the technical skills necessary to make movies, draw, or pluck strings.

99% of humanity have very little interest in creating. They're mimics, they're fine with copying, hitting repost, et al. You see this across all social media without exception (TikTok being the most obvious mimic example, but it's the same on Reddit as well). You see it in day to day life. You see it in how people spend their time. You see it in how people spend their money. And none of this is new. The public can cr…

That's simply untrue. Children have a natural inclination to create art. It is slowly drilled out of them by various factors, in large part, economic pressures. One of my best friends has a natural talent for drawing. He even made a children's book. Guess what? He became a cop because being a graphic artist is too precarious. If we alleviate the pressures that cause people to become closed off to the possibility of creating art, more people will be open to it.

It will be as interesting as our dreams. So maybe personally interesting, like for a small group sitting around a table and taking the piss. But it’s not gonna make a global sensation.

> And, through the same lens, maybe human-created art is more interesting because it is real. Conversations I have with people in real life almost always come back to this point. Most people find AI stuff novel, but few find it particularly interesting on an artistic level. I only really hear about people being ecstatic about AI online, by people who are, for lack of a better term, really online, and who do not have…

> "AI generated" I just instantly find it un-interesting artistically How familiar are you with what is possible and how much human effort goes towards achieving it? https://civitai.com/images Photography, digital painting, 3D rendering -- these all went through a phase of being panned as "not real art" before they were accepted, but they were all eventually accepted and they all turned out to have their own type of…

If I were trying to convince people that AI art is interesting and creative then I would not choose to highlight the site dedicated to strip-mining the creativity of non-AI artists, to produce models which regurgitate their ideas ad infinitum.

Some of these look really obviously bad, like the guy spinning the fire and the girl running along the beach. And it completely failed at the bubbles

Interesting perspective, considering a paper ByteDance just released yesterday [1] has much worse video quality. If your comparison is to real videos, then for sure the quality isn't great. If instead you compare to other released research, the this model is one of the best released thus far. [1]: https://epiphqny.github.io/Loong-video/

Okay, let's give it a participation trophy for being the best of the slop category.

You know it’s going to happen: “I want a funny road trip movie staring Jim Carey and Chris Farley, based in Europe, in the fall, where they have to rescue their mom played by Lucille ball from making the mistake of marrying a character played by an older Steve Martin.” 10 minutes later your movie is generated. If you like it, you save it, share it, etc. You have a queue of movies shared by your friends that they like…

It'll require tens to hundreds of hours to script the flow of the AI content, to edit, make adjustments, clean it up, make the scenes link together smoothly, fix small glitches. Even with far more advanced AI, it won't come together like a movie people would enjoy watching, without vast human labor involved.

Sub one percent of people are going to be willing to put in the hours to do it.

The bulk of the spammed created content will be: the masses very briefly playing with the generative capabilities, producing low quality garbage that after five minutes nobody is interested in and then the masses will move on to the next thing to occupy a moment of their time. See: generative image media today. So few people care about the crazy image creation abilities of MidJourney or Flux, that you'd think it didn't exist at all (other than the occasional related headline about deepfakes and or politics).

The content bubble apocalypse, where no one is ever watching the same thing and we lose all cultural connections to each other. At least until someone figures out an algorithm/prompt to influence the content, yvan eht nioj style.

Rick & Morty introduced the concept of interdimensional cable in 2014. Ten years later, it's a reality. Crazy stuff.

But mostly just porn.

I think AI porn is overhyped. We've had the ability to create realistic photos and short vids for over a year now and onlyfans creators are still doing fine. AI porn is just a niche for stuff that humans don't want to perform.

'still'

We have not had the ability to create interesting ai porn vids yet. How would we? Meta just showed movie gen.

But i'm pretty sure the short images of moving woman very subtle might gotten the one or other of. Just wait a little bit until you can really create wat you are looking for.

I think AI porn is chocked full of fascinating moral quandaries. It kind of transcends all other types of GenAI for the amount of hard questions it asks society. As they say, porn is always the leading spear of technology. It's something to keep an eye on (no pun intended) to understand how society will accept/integrate generated content.

It's definitely interesting from a moral and tech perspective.

However, commercially it seems like a niche within the existing structures of porn. Mostly competing with the market for animated stuff. At least that's where it is right now, and its already at photorealistic parity with human content creators.
