AI will eventually be capable of performing most of the tasks humans can do. My neighbor's child is only 6 years old now. What advice do you think I should give to his parents to develop their child in a way that avoids him growing up to find that AI can do everything better than he can?

This is insane. But I'm impressed most of all by the quality of motion . I've quite simply never seen convincing computer-generated motion before . Just look at the way the wooly mammoths connect with the ground, and their lumbering mass feels real. Motion-capture works fine because that's real motion, but every time people try to animate humans and animals, even in big-budget CGI movies, it's always ultimately obvio…

You might just be subject to confirmation bias here. Perhaps there were scenes and entities you didn't realize were CGI due to high quality animation, and thus didn't account for them in your assessment.

Call me whatever you want, but this technology should not exist. People to just create lifelike videos of anything they can put their mind to, is bound to lead to the ruining of many peoples' lives. As many people that are aware and interested in this technology, there is 100x people who have no idea, don't care or can't comprehend it. Those are the people that I fear for. Grab a few pictures of the grandkids off of…

People will adapt pretty fast and will stop trusting videos

This technology is going to destroy society.

Want to form a trade union I'm your workplace? Best be ready to have videos of you jacking off to be all over the internet.

Videotape a police officer brutalising someone? Could easily have been made with AI, not admissable.

These things will ruin the ability to trust anything online.

It's not his choice. It's the choice of the ruling class as to whether they will share the wealth or live in walled gardens and leave the rest of us in squalor outside the city walls.

Naw, if/when it gets to that, media won't be believed or admissable unless signed with someone's private keys or otherwise attested.

All the examples feel so familiar, like I have seen them all before buried in the depths of YouTube and long-forgotten BBC documentaries. Which I guess is obvious knowing roughly how the training works.

I guess what I'm wondering is how "new" the videos are, or how closely do they mimic a particular video in the training set? Will we generate compelling and novel works of art with this, or is this just a very round-about way of re-implementing the YouTube search bar?

To those who are saying, look at this at a positive and it lets people unleash their creativity?

- This enables everyone to be creators

- Given that everyone's creativity isn't top notch, highest quality will be limited to a the best

- So rest of us will be consumers

- How will we consume if we don't have work and there is no UBI?
