It's insanely impressive. At the same time, all these videos all look terrible to me. Still get extreme uncanny valley and literally makes me sick to my stomach.

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?

Holy over-engineering batman! Is text too old-fashioned?

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.

Great point. Really, the main problem with subtitles is that the creator can understand them without having to know another language, and therefore can spot check them. That makes it much more difficult to insert Black Mirror-style Contextually Relevant Advertisements.

I know the comments here are gonna be negative but I just find this so sick and awesome. Feels like it's finally close to the potential we knew was possible a few years ago. Feels like a pixar moment when CG tech showed a new realm of what was possible with toy story

I already get enough AI spam and scam videos on social media. I don’t need them to be better quality

If I was on the OpenAI marketing team I maybe wouldn't have included the phrase "and letting your friends cast you in their [videos]". It's a little chilling.

The livestream showed an interesting UX with Facebook-style permissions that make it so you very explicitly have to opt into this feature: https://bsky.app/profile/minimaxir.bsky.social/post/3m22zg2h...

Even moreso than Facebook tags, the person being cast can cause the deletion of the source video at any time.

Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.
