The vows were also AI generated.
And a computer would make a more efficient and less error-prone officiant.

#32People are just trying stuff out! In the mid 90s I received several homemade clipart color inkjet greeting cards from relatives that had just gotten a computer. Trend didn’t last too long.

#33I have a theory: People are are less critical to GenAI, slop even, if it is content that is directly related to them.
For example, if a friend generates some silly AI video or photo of you or other, you're less likely to act negatively to that - than seeing some random slop.
This is something I've noticed a lot in different social groups of mine, like in various group chats.
Re: The End of Creativity
#34I mean, video montages of pictures for birthdays/weddings/whatever were never creative to begin with. Before AI they were just some random template downloaded from a website or backed-in some editing software (I remember so many birthday montage videos made with Windows Movie Maker that looked all the same). People love these not because they are creative or good executed, but because they see the pictures and the st…
I think something half-baked by a non-expert hold more valuable human touch than the most perfect machine-generated result ever could. Not even in the same ballpark.
Re: The End of Creativity
#35My conclusion is that this in not the end of creativity but an increasing premium on creativity that is certified to be human made. It’s like how if I cook something from scratch that’s considered more meaningful than if I simply heated frozen food or ordered in for a guest.

#36Doesn't put creative effort into video editing.
Complains about end of creativity in edited video.
Ok?
Re: The End of Creativity
#37Maybe I'm an outlier, but personally if a friend used ai to make me a gift like in TFA, I'd be pretty offended. Using AI shows that you didn't care enough to even think about it on your own. When I see a business use obviously AI generated imagery, I think "I'll stay away from them, they clearly don't care enough to do things the right way." It's a sign of disrespect and a lack of care. I know my partner thinks simil…
On the gift scale, an AI thing is worse than an envelope with cash.
Re: The End of Creativity
#38I look at This Is Colossal [0] and see how art and creativity is alive and fresh as ever. There is no end to creativity. [0] https://www.thisiscolossal.com
I would like to share your optimism… I follow Flash Art magazine, and many other magazines about arts… to find something really nice - not extra, but nice that is not a copy of copy or empty or nihilistic - is quite hard.
After few pages at This is Colossal, Are.na, Dribbble, Deviant Art, It isn’t happiness etc…
it is similar to millennial grey plague.
OP’s example with similar wedding videos shows trend. Pareto is everywhere.
As almost everybody can be an artist (or they think they can be :) …statistically 80% will be average/mean results.
As there are more “artists”, we are knee-deep in average.
Sometimes it is better not to do any video and give a photo book instead. :)
Re: The End of Creativity
#39Culture has been rapidly regressing to a mean long before AI.
See e.g. modern cars. Until the mid 00s, you could tell different brands apart from far away. And you could perhaps also tell a few things about the owner from the color.
Or movies. The past 20+ years of high-budget film-making has been mostly rehashing franchises and remaking what has already been made.
AI is perhaps accelerating the trend and eliminating many opportunities to witness something original (e.g. a quirky amateur wedding video). But the trend had already begun.

If you don’t learn how to play every instrument, sing, and use your private plane to fly on location to film the music video then your soul ain’t even in it bro
I need millions spent, rainforests burned down, office complexes erected, ecosystems and lives ruined, layoffs - or it didn’t happen bro. It’s just AI
