Though I like the novelty of AI generated content, it kind of sucks dead internet theory is becoming more and more prevalent. YouTube (and all of the web) is already being spammed with AI generated slop and "better" video/text/audio models only make this worse. At some point we will cross the threshold of "real" and "generated" content being posted on the web and there's no stopping that.

My hope was that AI would make it easier for people to create new things that haven't been done before, but my fear was that it would just be an endless slop machine. We're living in the endless slop machine timeline and even genuine attempts to make something artistic end up just coming off as more slop.

I love this timeline.

No API/per video generation? Huh.

It's probably because they're relying heavily on their new editing UI to make the model useful. You can cut out weird parts of the videos and append a newly generated potion with a new prompt.

That’s around more than 20+ VC-backed AI video generation startups destroyed in a microsecond and scrambling to compete against Sora in the race to zero. Many of them will die, but may the AI slop continue anyway.

Not really a microsecond. Sora was announced months ago.

It’s a race to zero margin. The people who win will have lots of existing distribution channels (customers) or lots of money or control over data. Those who innovate but don’t have these things will be copied and run out of money eventually, as sad is it is. The competition between those startups and bigger players isn’t fair.
