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…

"Lighters should not exist. Anyone can start a fire, all the time, everywhere. This will lead to an inferno in no time." etc.

This is both amazing and saddening to me. All our cultural legacy is being fed into a monstrous machine that gives no attribution to the original content with which it was fed, and so the creative industry seems to be in great danger.

Creativity being automated while humans are forced to perform menial tasks for minimum wage doesn't seem like a great future and the geriatric political class has absolutely no clue how to manage the situation.

We are all standing on the shoulders of giants, whose existence and names we will never know or acknowledge.

The way these models are creative is the same way humans are.

The artist that painted Mona Lisa didn't credit any of the influences and inspirations that they had.

Just as cameras made many artists redundant, so too will every other new tool, and not just artist but pretty much every job.

But there are still people that weave baskets, and people are prepared to pay the premium to get a product that was 'hand-made'.

While receiving the credit that you are deserved is nice and fair. The world doesn't work that way.

Haven't we always attributed creations to people, to motivate our own egos to pursue higher achievements in the name if "glory"? With vision of wealth attributed to fame? Forgive me for being cynical here, but this is how I always viewed the world. Names are... just this, names. Things we use to communicate some ideas/phenomena, but are irrelevant in scope of endless evolution. And can function just aswell with some other "identifier" attached to it.

I have come to terms with the fact, that I'm just a spit of sand, just as irrelevant to my own creation, as I am to the cells and bacteria that create me.

The Hollywood Reporter says many in the industry are very scared.[1] “I’ve heard a lot of people say they’re leaving film,” he says. “I’ve been thinking of where I can pivot to if I can’t make a living out of this anymore.” - a concept artist responsible for the look of the Hunger Games and some other films.

Honest question: of what possible use could Sora be for Hollywood? The results are amazing, but if the current crop of text-to-image tools is any guide, it will be easy to create things that look cool but essentially impossible to create something that meets detailed specific criteria. If you want your actor to look and behave consistently across multiple episodes of a series, if you want it to precisely follow a det…

It won’t be Hollywood at first . It will be small social ads for TikTok, IG and social media. The brands likely won’t even care if it’s they don’t get copyright at the end, since they have copyright of their product.

Probably a bad time to be an actor. Amazing time to be a wannabe director or producer or similar creative visionary. Bad time to be high up in a hierarchical/gatekeeping/capital-constrained biz like Hollywood. Amazing time to be an aspirant that would otherwise not have access to resources, capital, tools in order to bring their ideas to fruition. On balance I think the ‘20s are going to be a great decade for creativ…

You can’t replace actors with this for a long time. Actors are “rendering” faster than any AI. Animation is where the real issues will show up first, particularly in Advertising.

The creators just don't care humans haha. I don't know why people still learning communications, writing, art or any other crafts. everything will be displaced by next AI.

As said every time this "why are we automating creativity when menial jobs exist?" response comes up:

1) Errors in art programs messing up is less worrisome than a physical robot. One going wrong makes extra fingers in a picture, the other potentially maims or kills you.

2) Moravec's Paradox. Reasoning requires little computation versus sensorimotor and perception.

3) Despite 1 and 2, we are constantly automating menial jobs!
