Can we talk about the elephant in the room, porn and i mean the weird and dangerous one? that moment in history of AI is going to happen and when it did shit will hit the fan.

You should have AI start writing your comments for you so at least then they'll make sense.

Do you think anybody will really care? People were generating CSAM basically as soon as image generation become accessible. And for the less dangerous stuff situation is way more rampant already, both in free and commercial way.

Yes. Deepfaked porn is already a widespread mechanism for harassment, both among children and adults. As it gets even easier to create and more and more convincing it will just get worse.

The amount of gatekeeping I see when this topic is brought is outstanding! Why can't people be happy that more individuals would be soon able to create freely in a more accessible way? Personally I can't wait to see the new creative doors ai will open for us!

if I wasnt around to witness it over the last 10 years I would have thought most commenters on HN were bots pretending to be offended and gatekeeping for obscure profit motives. So the bad news is people are just insecure, jealous, pedantic, easy to offend, highly autistic - and these are the smart ones. The good news, is with dead internet theory they will all be replaced with bots that will atleast be more compelli…

If you call motives of designers, painters, musicians, filmmakers and other c-word professionals obscure, then I have bad news for whatever occupation you have for a living. Maybe it's just because it depends on how well AI sells, or because there's suddenly a perceived window of opportunity wide open at some fee for everyone unable to c-word anything on their own to finally become able, even if by relying on corporate crutches, the window you deem endangered by said gatekeepers?

I'm excited about this.

Think of all of your favorite novels that are deemed "impossible" to adapt to the screen.

Or think of all the brilliant ideas for films that are destined to die in the minds of people who will never, ever have the luck or connections required to make it to Hollywood.

When this stuff truly matures and gets commoditized I think we are going to see an explosion of some of the most mind blowing art.

This demo video of Veo 3 on reddit, featuring a variety of characters talking in different scenarios and accents, is one of the most incredible AI demos I have ever seen: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1krmsns/wtf_ai_vid... Created by Ari Kuschnir

Calling it now.

Someone will use AI to make the "AI Killed the Video Star" video. Probably the same guy that made this[1] and other masterpieces.

It's already difficult enough to make a successful book adaptation, even WITH authorial intent. Can't imagine that hours of patchwork AI-generated video, with all its artifacting and consistency errors, will fare any better than "The Rings of Power".

Not only did the iPhone 9 never exist, the iPhone X was a huge paradigm shift in design and capabilities. That was the phone that introduced edge-to-edge OLED screens to the iPhone line, as well as the IR camera that enabled FaceID and the first generation of Portrait mode. I know it well since it also introduced the ability for developers to build facial motion capture apps that would’ve previously required expensiv…

Arguably OLED screens and IR cameras are no paradigm shift. At least nothing comparable to "no smartphone" to iPhone 1.

There were smartphones before the iPhone. One could also describe the difference as "just a touchscreen".
