- albert_e 3y agoVery soon it would be possible to create such content with much lesser talent I suppose? - Moving Carl Sagan's Voice - deepfake audio synthesis - Stunning visuals - Generative AI trained on NASA archives and sci-fi movie footage - Awe-Inspiring Narrative - GPT trained on Sagan, Ray Bradbury, etc Once we are there -- I wonder what becomes the new frontier for creative output that makes us say "AI cannot do THIS -- it takes a human"
- MichaelZuo 3y agoIf someone could get high quality stuff from all these tools, combine it well, and compose the whole video to a similar quality, I would say they would be equally talented. Even if they spent a fraction of the time on it.
- Sharlin 3y agoIt's not unlikely that soon after that happens, the human era as we understand will end. In one way or another.
- Diederich 3y agoYes, I watch this a couple of times a year. It's just beautiful.
- dmreedy 3y agoI thought they did a really good job in the NOVA The Planets miniseries as well: https://www.pbs.org/video/cassini-spacecraft-final-moments/ https://www.pbs.org/video/cassini-spacecraft-final-moments/ which is in general full of some pretty excellent simulations, arranged very aesthetically
