Pure genious in every way!

I said Sartre is dead. I have a cold

[-] silver@das-eck.haus 34 points 18 hours ago

Straight up can't tell if this is ai or not. It feels too high quality

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 35 points 15 hours ago

It is, 60's era Kung Fu is a common and flexible format. The rocks over the wall and identical real cats in robes is what seals it as AI to me.

That being said, this is very well made. Good consistency, fluid motion. That's more to do with selective editing of 1-4 second good bits from 10 second clips.

I had a first suspicion when about 14 s in, two of the squid's arms fused.

[-] flango@lemmy.eco.br 8 points 15 hours ago

Ok, now I want to watch old Chinese movies. Suggestions?

[-] TopsickPilgrim@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Watch Eight Diagram Pole Fighter, and Return to the 36th Chamber of Shaolin

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Bruce Lee movies.

The ~~Man~~ GUY With Secret Kung Fu. Apologies, that can throw off a search. The best part is, you spend the entire time arguing who it is because THERE ARE TWO MEN. Also there's a frankenstein vampire robot. It is best to make fun of with friends.

i remember it being on one of those free online

[-] Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago

Is the second one you mention The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

they might both be? it's been a while and I smoke a lot of weed

[-] Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

I'm thinking that or Mr Vampire.

Fuck it I'm gonna watch both!

Thank you!

油 is a clever double (triple?) entendre here. Yes it directly translated to oil and 石油 (crude oil) has the same pronunciation as 食油 (food oil).

But 油 also has the same pronunciation as 铀 (uranium). That is why he was talking about 炼油(refining oil/uranium) 来 (to) 炸 (fry/bomb) 鱿鱼 (the squid).

[-] regdog@lemmy.world 15 points 18 hours ago

"Ai slop + Human editing" does that still equal to ai slop?

[-] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 hours ago

Well when you gather a bunch of different shit into a pile does it turn into something else or is it still just a pile of shit?

[-] stray@pawb.social 3 points 2 hours ago

The Mythbusters proved you can polish a turd, especially if it's from a carnivore.

[-] Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Neural Viz is the best example of brilliant writing and editing while using AI tools.

[-] NihilsineNefas@slrpnk.net 51 points 1 day ago

I know we're living in the backward world, but this isn't satire, its pretty much historically accurate.

[-] stray@pawb.social 4 points 2 hours ago

It's literally satire.

Satire is a genre of the visual, literary, and performing arts, usually in the form of fiction and less frequently non-fiction, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, often with the intent of exposing or shaming the perceived flaws of individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 76 points 1 day ago

That was certainly... A thing.

[-] alexquiniou@lemmy.zip 48 points 1 day ago
[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago

dude, at this point i don't care. there's enough care to detail that a human is doing something. it's being used as a tool rather than as a slop generator.

there is a difference between ai art and ai slop and this my friends is ai art.

[-] alexquiniou@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago

I forgot /s

I'm just making a dad joke. Not judging the outcome which I like.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

no worries. i'm just rambley today

[-] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca -2 points 7 hours ago

That’s fine, you’re acclimating to the slop, soon you’ll be fine with complete slop.

Some of us do still care however. I don’t care if a human edited this shit together it’s still shit.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

well, we had this argument about autotune in music, and y'all said it was okay. now suddenly it's not. hrm.

you take the human out and substitute it with a machine. do it in art and it's fantastic. do it in programming and it's unethical and you have the technical language to describe how the code it puts out is substandard because this shit threatens your money. it is real to you.

[-] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I still think autotune is shit but okay, guy.

And this shit threatens everybody’s money, not because it’s good mind you. But because the executives making the decisions think it’s good enough that they can stop hiring humans to do work on the back end because it’s all good enough to the slop consumers.

And they’ll keep raising the prices of everything while pocketing the new profits so everything gets more expensive while also getting continually shittier.

Why? Because people start to accept the slop.

Don’t accept the slop. Have higher standards.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

sorry, but i feel like such a luddite here

i'm not going to complain when the computers are massacring another art form when they just finished massacring mine. It's either all good or all bad.

[-] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

Look up the luddites actually, they were resisting for literally the things I just said. And y’know what? They were completely right! It wasn’t about fearing technology that could in theory make things easier, it’s that the owners were turning to the machines that made an inferior product for cheaper.

They fucked over the workers and the consumers because they didn’t care about quality of the product. They just wanted a cheaper made product and to not pay the workers.

So you’re actually on the side of the owners screwing all of us when you shrug and accept this crap as an inevitably.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

look my fit must be well hissed or so help me deer jesus i will be back with the whole squad of clown divas, ya follow?

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 49 points 1 day ago

Meowatollah!

[-] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 42 points 1 day ago

China's shitposting is fucking elite

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

save as brainsquidamericaneagle dot mp4. i don't know what to call it.

[-] halfapage@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Is that ai? Anybody knows the source?

[-] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 21 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Gotta be. Camera cuts are 8 seconds or less. Which isn't a universal limit anymore but indicates a cheaper model or plan.

Also things move wierd. Like the stabbing motion with the gun. Or the squid sitting in strange positions instead of "attaching" to the head like you assume it would. In a wierd way I feel like I can almost recognize what films this may have been trained on.

Also over the last month there has been a deluge of ai videos being made from this perspective on this topic. Context is usually biggest evidence, barring everything else.

[-] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 20 hours ago

Continuity is a film production role that gets taken for granted until its done poorly. I would say that ai isn't very good at it, but this vid at least looks very consistent with the designs between the shots

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 9 points 18 hours ago

Sure, but humans can still edit the slop to be coherent.

[-] FuyuhikoDate@feddit.org 34 points 1 day ago

I think that was too damn good for ai slop. But i understand your concern and I am also interested in the source

[-] thesink05@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

Look at when America sinks into the mud. Watch how the mud stains on his pants climb upward.

AI vids can be pretty damn hard to spot these days. My mom sent me a vid on silver investing and it even took me a minute to be sure. She wouldn't have spotted it if I didn't raise the question, we were spooked

[-] MrQuallzin@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

The shots are way too consistent to be AI. If it was AI, we'd expect background details to change between each one. This feels like a high quality robot chicken production

[-] regdog@lemmy.world 12 points 22 hours ago

Pretty good. I want to know more about the creative process behind it.

[-] WalnutLum@lemmy.ml 7 points 17 hours ago
[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

yeah, and how many iterations did they do, how much did they storyboard, did the ai do the entire thing and if so did the ai use the traditonal concept to storyboarding to scene to etc. process to generate it.

we have a specific process that is followed when folk make film

does the AI do something different? could we look at the tree and arbitrarily pick a different fork if we didn't like a decision rather than having to ask an entirely new question?

it's fascinating.

[-] WalnutLum@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 hours ago

Afaik seedance only has like three modes of generation:

  1. Text to video
  2. First frame + text to video
  3. First frame + last frame + text to video

From what I've seen you can do ranges of time in the text for certain things like 1-3s: slow pan in etc.

People will use something like Google's nano banana to generate still frames in a storyboard-like prompt then have seedance generate the video for each 12 or so second portion

[-] FuyuhikoDate@feddit.org 18 points 1 day ago

OK what does the squid symbolize?

[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago

I guess the dog lady near the end is supposed to be vdL, then?!
EDIT: Nevermind, it has to be Takaichi.
