Yeah exactly. Generative software makes a lot of sense for advertising and other short term distractions, but not much else. I think there will be a contingent of people who get addicted to LLM outputs and are willing to pay for it (like we're seeing with some chatbot boyfriends/girlfriends) but on the whole it's just... boring.

Ah yes the historically accurate version of that story with vengeful gods and a cyclops and everything

I mean, if a computer creates an artistic work that is truly indistinguishable from a human work, then that would imply the AI possesses sentience and is sharing it's individual perspective via said work. And honestly I consider that something to be celebrated, not feared.

LLMs might be able to fool us for a minute or two into believing it is alive, but unless I'm fundamentally misunderstanding the technology they can't actually ever share a perspective and make art because they don't possess a perspective.

If AI gets half as good as Uwe Boll at making movies I will eat my six month old underwear.

It took some effort, but this seems to be a trailer of the movie.

It runs into a lot of issues tied to AI (bad voices, glossly/weightlessness to everything, art style all over the place). Some things will be fixed over time, but I don't think the current AI trend can replace someone with a good eye for art direction, it certainly can't write scripts on its own, and the voices tied to the video frames will probably continue to prove challenging.

That being said, this definitely wasn't created with some of the better models out there, and articles I was reading said something like 2/3rds of Chinese micro-dramas have heavy AI usage. So, maybe not the end of the world, but not great either.

I'm more worried that it will become passable enough to make a profit at the box office, even if less people see it than if it wasn't AI. And movie quality will plummet.
