This is super cool and fun and will almost certainly be really bad for society in loads of different ways. From the descriptions of all the guardrails they're needing to put in it seems like they know it too.

But think of all the 0 legitimate use cases for this technology.

> keep objects consistent I think this is not nearly as important as most people think it is. In hollywood movies, everyone already knows about "continuity errors" - like when the water level of a glass goes up over time due to shots being spliced together. Sometimes shots with continuity errors are explicitly chosen by the editor because it had the most emotional resonance for the scene. These types of things rarely…

Water level in a glass changing between shots is one thing, the protagonist’s face and clothes changing is another.

Location consistency is important. Even something as simple and subtle as breaking the 180-rule [1] feels super uncanny to most audiences. Let alone changing the set the actor occupies, their wardrobe, props, etc.

There are lots of tools being built to address this, but they're still immature.

ComfyUI has a lot of tools for this, they're just hard to use for most people.

Someone remind me the benefits of mass produced fake videos again?

People are doing cool things with it. Here’s one example: https://www.tiktok.com/@dreamrelicc Before AI, each video on this channel would have taken a large team with a Hollywood budget to create. In a few more years, one person may be able to turn their creative vision into a full-length movie.

I love the aesthetic in this person's videos, I just wish it wasn't on tiktok :(

VFX artists are definitely feeling the AGI / considering other career paths today.

I genuinely don't understand the consistent rhetoric on this site of: > new AI feature/model comes out > "it's going to replace people in this field! they better start looking for a new job!!!" why is this a good thing?

It’s not a good thing, but it’s definitely a thing. Most of us here on HN are going to be affected by this.

I actually wonder if this will kill off the social apps and the bragging that happens. It will be flooded by people faking themselves doing the unimaginable.

This is also my thesis. The internet is going to be saturated with AI slop indiscernible from real content. Once it reaches a tipping point, there will no longer be much of a reason to consume the content at all. I think social networks that can authenticate video/photo/text content as human-created will be a major trend in a few years.

there will be billions of people consuming the content

Going to be an amazing source of training data, wait till they get it to real time and people are leaving their video camera open for AR features. OpenAI is about to have a lot of current real world image data, never mind the sentiment analysis.

So being able to generate sign language videos for people who cannot hear is not a legitimate use case for AI videos? Or is your hate boner for AI just blinding you from useful applications?
