I’m already sick of all the bullshit thumbnails to be honest. It’s at the point where I feel like giving up my premium subscription.

You would maybe like this YouTube click-bait reducing browser plugin: https://dearrow.ajay.app/

Thank you , my issue is, YouTube should be doing this for me. I’m paying them for a service.

'still' We have not had the ability to create interesting ai porn vids yet. How would we? Meta just showed movie gen. But i'm pretty sure the short images of moving woman very subtle might gotten the one or other of. Just wait a little bit until you can really create wat you are looking for.

You obviously have not spent any time on civit.ai if you're saying that. What scares me most is that in my opinion, by far the best prompt writers are the ones who are deeply "motivated" and "experienced" with prompting. Often the best prompters have only one hand on the keyboard at a time.

I'm aware of civit.ai but i talk about short clips and i rechecked but didn't find short ai clips which are more than a model moving a little bit.

You’re not sick of it. Because 50 percent of the stuff you think isn’t generative actually is. You love a lot of this generative stuff you just hate idea of knowing it’s generated.

Sorry, but I've been doing photography for so many years I can easily tell the difference. I don't care if you don't believe me though. But yes, this is also about authenticity. There's a big difference between something that happened and something that didn't.

I don't believe you at all. I think you're either a liar or a lying to yourself.

I think it's possible you may think you would be able to differentiate AI generated photos and real photos. But if you looked at that site and told me the SAME thing, then I would know that you actually are lying to me.

>who refuse to interact with Zero-tolerance ostracization is mean. If you're not doing that, and simply setting your boundaries - "I don't like the technology, let's talk about something else" - that's one thing. That's not what you were encouraging people to do in GP. I think we should be concise in our rhetoric, because it does have the potential to create needless conflict. "But you just said-" I did. People keep…

I do think there has to be some responsibility taken, rather than being "nice" all the time. And I was speaking of a business sense. If someone uses AI in their own work, I fully support not supporting them. That's not social ostracization, that's just good business sense in not supporting a technology that I don't believe in. So yeah, let me be clear: I absolutely support boycotting people who use AI when it comes t…

You're conflating the totally sound business decision not to use AI (as it currently exists, in its current legal limbo) in production, with an emotion-driven appeal to normalcy (which itself you have conflated with justice).

Support, boycott, war: these are words when your intent is to not associate with someone at all, not just in a business sense. You're trying to present your argument as soft and hard at the same time, and I'm saying that it's completely disingenuous if you don't choose one or the other: either this is an existential crisis that deserves radical action, or it's not and therefore not worth ruining relationships or unintentionally presenting yourself as hysterical or a less-than-rational bully. I'm asking you to choose for your sake, and for the sake of the argument you end up actually wanting to stand behind.

> Upload an image of yourself and transform it > into a personalized video. Movie Gen’s > cutting-edge model lets you create personalized > videos that preserve human identity and motion. A stalker’s dream! I’m sure my ex is going to love all the videos I’m going to make of her! Jokes aside, it’s a little bizarre to me that they treat identity preservation as a feature while competitors treat that as a bug, explicitl…

Your dream $11.99 kitchen knife! Perfect for stabbing! IT IS REAL! * product made without use of AI or any unnatural components. pure mountain iron

joking aside, i do think that as AI continues to pervade public consciousness, we will start to see some creators market their products as being "AI-free" or somesuch, for better or worse. It's like lemon market virtue signaling.

Why are there so many websites that are essentially static HTML that make my phone stutter? The video’s look cool, but I can’t really enjoy reading about them if my phone freezes every 2 seconds.

maybe the companies, who make them, have not enough know-how in web-development.

Impressive. Always important to bear in mind that the examples they show are likely the best examples they were able to produce. Many times over the past few years a new AI release has "wowed" me, but none of them resulted in any sudden overnight changes to the world as we know it. VFX artists: You can sleep well tonight, just keep an eye on things!

Yes, and like pretty much every AI release I've seen, even these cherry-picked examples mostly do not quite match the given prompt. The outputs are genuinely incredible, but if you imagine actually trying to use this for work, it would be very frustrating. A few examples from this page: Pumpkin patch - Not sitting on the grass, not wearing a scarf, no rows of pumpkins the way most people would imagine. Sloth - that's…

Ngl I think many of those artists’ work deserve to be devalued. As someone involved in art, there’s a huge amount of art that’s overly concerned with perfecting technique like a robot. Entire movies are made just to be “one single take without any edits” and no one stops to ask themselves whether or not that’s actually the most impactful way to tell the story. The vast majority of digital art was just filled with all…

Yeah, craft is an important thing. I don’t want photorealistic tattoos, personally, but I appreciate that people ha…

Craft isn't labor though, and there are plenty of people who think that just doing a laborious task makes their art interesting. It doesn't.
