A lot of people saying it's over for traditional movie-making - lmao. I look at these and see nothing but uncanny valley artifacts, and I don't think it will improve much from here. It's like self-driving cars. They use almost very effective statistical models, certainly better than our previous models, but they never seem to shake off that "almost" and become truly effective.

who is saying that?

As an owner of a Video Production studio, this kind of tech is blowing my mind and makes me equally excited and scared. I can see how we could incorporate such tools in our workflows, and at the same time I'm worried it'll be used to spam the internet with thousands and thousands of souless generated videos, making it even harder to look through the noise. A fun related experiment, I thought it was fun to see what ki…

This one is too funny: https://thismoviedoesnotexist.org/movie/the-virginity-pact

Ooo, check out that trademark infringement.

It’s funny because the last 10 years has seen the most advancement in VR ever. The original Oculus was a step change, and current VR is a step change from that. 8k VR is coming and will be close to indistinguishable from reality visually at least.

8k video games are here and very distinguishable from reality At the end of the day you're still sitting/standing out there with two tv screens 2cm from your eye balls

A better test would be a 8k real life recording running in 8k goggles.

If the screen is wide enough with eye tracking and divested rendering, how could you tell the difference?

All the comments seem to be discussing the implications of this as if it worked, but almost all of these look like complete garbage. All the humans look deformed and broken, or transparent in places they should not be. The only ones that are passable are the fantastical ones like the sloth with the laptop.

So how long before we can “Hey music-stable-diffusion-service,” play me “relaxing baroque violin and flute music in the style of game of thrones” ?

A long time. Much like self-driving cars, AI can take you 90% of the way there, but the last 10% is the difference between music that sort-of-seems-competent, and music that people will actually listen to and enjoy.

Honestly, MidJourney, Stable Diffussion, et. al. have closed that 10% gap quite quickly (in months!).

I'll give it two years, at most, until we get pretty good audio and video generation from AI.

Reminds me of South Park when Cartman was pretending to be a robot and was made to invent movie prompts "Adam Sandler is like, in love with some girl, but then it turns out that the girl is actually a Golden Retriever. Or something.""

“AWESOME-O”, S8 E5, if anyone wants to check it out.

A South Park classic imo

I know some extremely hard working independent filmmakers who struggle so hard to get noticed. After this tech goes mainstream in 5 years and gets really good, I don’t know what they’re going to do

AI is eating the world, and the vast majority of people are not paying attention. I don't know what artists, truck drivers, Uber/Lyft/taxi drivers, delivery drivers, programmers, doctors, judges, fast food workers, etc. are going to do.

Really have a feeling that if you don’t build your nest egg in the next 5-10 years, its going to become incredibly hard.
