So alright, it's AI nonsense. But I thought it was entertaining AI nonsense and well put together.
What've you got?
I hate that I live in this world
I thought better of you Cougar. What have you started…
I love that star Trek video.
The music is awesome. On a mobile I almost can't tell it's AI. It's a wee bit less convincing on a computer.
The same "creator" has a couple of Evanescence inspired videos which also have awesome music.
I love that star Trek video.
Considering Jeri Ryan’s campaigning to stop the AI use of actors’ likenesses without their consent, I doubt she’d agree with you.
The music is awesome.
Ah so now we know how Mark Ronson creates his slop!
I can just about see the appeal of a young Debbie Harry, but the rest... Ugh.
I'm starting to see how the quality of creative output is related to the time and skill that must go into creating it. If making a film is hard, only the higher levels of motivation and creativity will push through that. AI seems to be allowing a lot of polished turds out..
I'm a huge fan of how LLMs can be used but I've not seen anything in video that's worth much. And considering the >100x processing power needs vs text chat reasoning, video seems to represent poor resources value. Grumble grumble, never liked tiktok either ..

I mean I'm glad I'm not in creative. Industries right now.
Took my band a week to record+ a month to mix an album. They wrote the songs before I joined so thats 50-100 hours between 3. Despite 2 of the band having music production degrees we got someone else I to do some more of the mixing.
So 5 musicians for 40 hour week.
3 engineers for 40 hour week.
More over dubs after that 20 hours x2 people.
Mixing maybe 30 hours.
Vs my mate paid £60 for access to a music ai. Put his poems in and had something which to my ear sounds pretty close in quality. Took him an hour+ time to write the poetry.
Ai poetry to music

Dissapointly I've still got loads of cd's in the loft £5 posted if anyone is interested 😄

Honestly, I just thought the thread title was amusing and wanted to do something with it. 😁
That A Million Amelias starts off ok. It must be genuinely worrying for artists of how much of a threat AI is.
It's far from perfect of course. But as I've been saying for a while now, AI today is the worst it will ever be.
Basically if you can work from home, your job is ****ed. Music, art, programming, IT helpdesk... it's a fine time indeed to be a plasterer.
Only if people have jobs in the future to earn money that they can afford to pay for your plastering services.
But as I've been saying for a while now, AI today is the worst it will ever be.
Which is what really worries me, when it's understandable from a recorded real life event I don't see it ending well.
(Anyway, I won't take this post off topic.)
It won’t be long before it’s going to be impossible to tell what’s actually real.

I'm genuinely astonished that porn isn't leading the vanguard.
Or maybe it is and I'm just not privy to such things.

Oh, it is! You too can have your very own, AI generated slut! I’m certainly not going to create a link, it’s up to you, the reader, to go digging around on the interwebz, but I suggest using a good VPN that allows you to hide your country of origin.
And no, it’s not something I’ve done myself, but I have seen lots of adverts.

Apparently Pete Hegseth and the Department of War used AI to plan their Iran invasion, and they were happily basing their predictions on AI slop.
The polished, high-confidence outputs of AI simulation models proved more compelling to decision-makers than the hedged, probabilistic language of traditional intelligence analysis

Prompt: resurrect this bike
I think it’s used the other bike to come up with the grips and shifters 🙂
Not sure about the kickstand thou.
It’s frightening stuff thou, zero skillz required to do seriously hard graphic manipulation/creation in minutes.
I dabble in a bit of creature design, from concept to complete and it can take some time.
Ai can never replace the original concept and sketches. But by god it can render fast and to good good level.
Studios, film companies, games developer just want fast turnarounds.
If you dont use it as a tool, you will be left behind.
Example. Weeks of work done in minutes.

Human created audio (ASFIK) but AI video.
Ive lost my Presta Valve removal tool 🙁
So I thought I would buy one from amazon.
This one caught my eye.
Very innovative. So much easier than fiddling round between the spokes as well.
Do you think it will catch on?
Human created audio (ASFIK) but AI video.
You could pick fault with that if you were so inclined but thinking back to just 12 months ago, holy shit has it come a long way. Who knows how good it will be in another 12 months.
And I’ve just realised the video is a year old already.
The same rule 1 should apply to AI as to photoshop filters and everything that’s gone before…
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should
I’ve yet to see a piece of AI ‘design’ I didn’t think was unmitigated shite. It’s like giving a set of spanner’s to monkeys and expecting them to become car mechanics

Needs more eyes.

I think the better analogy would be getting a bunch of mechanics and asking them to design a car.
One of them will have an idea how a spaceframe works, but no idea how to do the calculations to validate it. the other knows what a steering rack looks like, so picks one the right length out of the parts bin. One likes the tartan fabric from Golf GTI's, but can't sew it into seats. Rose jointed wishbones with stainless hardware all-round, spec'd by the guy who has to do the alignment on worn and rusty bangers, but has no knowledge of how to actually design suspension. etc. etc.
You'll get a car shaped object, but it'll still be rubbish.
Same with AI. I'm sure it already has revolutionized CGI, why spend months developing a particle model of an explosion when AI can render it in minutes. It'll turn B-Movie directors into Michael Bay. But I doubt it could ever come up with an entire film off it's own back that would actually impress critics.
I don't know if this counts, but this video of Chat GPT playing Stockfish at chess is absolutely brilliant, even those of you who don't know much about chess will probably appreciate it

I think this is the future for AI in movies isn't it? the days of hundreds of names at the end of movies like LOTR or Transformers are over, but is anyone interested in any human endeavour like sport or music or art or film that doesn't actually involve a human?

"ever" is a bold word. Compare Ai output today with how it was a year, two years ago.
Ai today is the worst it will ever be.

Plenty of sociopaths out there.

This is a particularly tired phrase that we should probably stop using. Increasingly AI is being trained on it's own sloppy shite, there's no guarantee that progression is going to be linear into the future, it's hitting hardware walls already, it's power requirements are becoming a political issue, and the 'investment' appears to be a ponzi scheme. It can't pay for itself and we still fundamentally don't understand how/why it makes the decisions it does, making it's use in things like law and medicine questionable at best.
All of those things are true.
The problem is, you can't put the genie back in the bottle. The bubble may well burst - it kind of has to - but absolutely no-one is going to be going "well, that was a terrible idea, lets go back to doing things manually again" any more than when the printing press was invented.
Back in the day we had the Luddites smashing up automation machinery. We're at that point in the evolution of AI (see the title of this thread). But ultimately, they lost. Bigly.
Anyway, this is probably a conversation better suited here:

This thread was supposed to be just for sharing examples, not a deep-dive into the future of it all. Sorry for derailing it.
