"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
can't wait for the torrent of garbage that will be released upon us
At some point I suppose movies/shows will be generated on demand; "give me a Soviet era spy thriller where the lead character does a lot of fucking".
"Make the screenplay an Ian Flemming style film, use Snoop Dog as the antagonist, and have the protagonist make a 67 reference every time they kill someone. The antagonist can only travel by unicycle or gorilla back."
I mean, I would get baked and watch that.
it's not over for them, they just need to focus on their material being as human and real as possible and the keep slop and too much CGI at bay, at least that's enough for me to stay interested
Poppycock. The reason people watch a movie or TV is because they want to see real people doing real-world things that emotionally move them. And even in the cases where it's a 3D-animated character or all animation, we can feel the humanity of the artistry and the creative talent behind the artifact.
There's actually no proof anyone wants to "watch slop." On the contrary, every time a slop advertisement or short narrative video is posted online, it is roasted into oblivion. The market just isn't there.
Cool, now generate a 2 hour movie with coherent plot, interesting characterisation and fitting cinematography. I mean the fight scene looks impressive I guess, but that's like 0.1% of a movie. It's not about the fight, it's about why they fight
The Motion Picture Association (MPA), the Hollywood trade association, accused ByteDance of “unauthorised use of US copyrighted works on a massive scale”.
ByteDance: "Yeah, so? Not everything needs authorization. We do not need authorization to say that you suck."
We must never forget that the MPAA and RIAA are villain organizations. They do not serve the interests of consumers. They have been enemies of the Internet at large since the Internet.
As much as I hate AI slop, the MPAA deserves zero sympathy.
If I could make it redo wheel of time and it be accurate and good, sure id give it a try.
