People who find this interesting might also find the work being done recently by The Companion--a service that specializes in providing fan service (writers panels, behind the scenes stuff, etc.) for popular science fiction content--with some researchers from Google and the showrunner of Stargate on extended episodes for Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. So like, the "obvious problem" with this content for Seinfel…

Wait until we have multilayered AI models.

One to generate the 3d scene. One for the lighting. Three for cameras. One for each actor acting out the given script along with a set amount of "improvising" and "randomness", one to generate background royalty free music based on the emotional context of the scene, one to serve as a Foley artist for environment sounds.

The equivalent computer power of a medium sized bitcoin farm running everything with the only humans being the writers, the IT people running the systems, a director watching each take as it is rendered live to pick the best ones, and an editor to slap all of the takes together.

That's probably technically possible now, if not actually implemented.

Another 15 years or so and kids will be rendering full movies in the basement and watching them with their friends.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The movie "Her"[1] is already here with AI Chatbots. I was recently fooling around with open source 6B parameter AI chatbots. The model is 20GB. That's just for text and that's more text than I could read in my entire life. I could talk to the chatbot for my entire life and never get to the end of it. The amount of raw information that humans can I/O into their brains is very small compared to these chatbots. [1] htt…

I saw "Her" on a plane near the end of last year. I had avoided seeing it because I thought it was a movie about AI and expected it to be trite. For anyone else who might be dismissing it for similar reasons: its not about AI, its about relationships, and it is really good.

Reminds of Arrival in that way: come in thinking it’s a movie about alien invasion, realize it’s a (rather provocative, mind-bending) love story.

Writing the script for a Seinfeld scene was one of the first use cases I tried on chatgpt last year. I kept a copy. There is some sort of intersection between A Show About Nothing and an AI that creates empty responses from everything. INT. MONK'S CAFE - DAY Jerry, George, and Elaine are sitting at a table. Kramer enters and sits down. Kramer: Hey, guys. Jerry: Hey, what's up, Kramer? Kramer: I've been having some tr…

The rest of the episode continues with Kramer getting a wild streaming setup, Elaine setting up Teams for Peterman and George quite quitting by mounting a picture in front of his webcam

That is so much better than this twitch stream.

One for each hand to maintain the appropriate number of fingers.

> I went to the doctor the other day. The doctor asked if I have any hobbies. > I said I liked watching movies. > He said that's not a hobby. > I said it is if you do it enough times. I don't know if it was the flat delivery or the surrealness of it, but that had me actually laugh out loud.

It's a pretty good joke, but I'd bet it's directly stolen.

I'm curious as to why the dialogue is so bad. What AI is this using? When I ask ChatGPT to write a scene, the results are usually somewhat funny: INT. JERRY'S CAR - DAY Jerry and George are driving down the road, with Jerry behind the wheel. Jerry: (gazing at the cup holder) This car is such a piece of junk, it doesn't even have a proper cup holder. George: What are you talking about? It has a cup holder right there!…

The description says it's GPT3

I have to confess I don’t really understand the appeal here. It’s not funny nor particularly entertaining (to me of course). Obviously reading the comments I’m in the minority here.

If you don't find the original Seinfeld funny, then you won't find this funny too, and that's ok. It is definitely a type of humor that you gotta be attuned to and/or like it already, with many people never getting around to liking it.

I... I don't know what to say... this is so... man... wtf? I really have no words to express how uncanny it feels to watch that stuff, it seems alien television from the future and the comments seem a hive mind of bots. The experience is like seeing the apocalypse coming towards you from afar at a steady pace and there is nothing you can do to stop it. We need a big solar flare before it is too late. I don't even kno…

Creative endeavors are going the way of artisan crafts 100 years ago, mass produced by AI assembly lines, the rich will pay a premium for genuine artistry but the masses will digest this copy of a copy of a copy media.
