It's impressive, but I think it's still in the same category as even the best LLMs: the demos look good and they can be quite useful, but you can never quite trust them. You really can't just have an LLM write a whole report for you - who knows what facts it'll make up, what it'll miss? You really can't use this to generate video for work, who knows where the little artifacts are (it's easier to tell with video). The future of these high-fidelity (but not perfect) generative AI systems is in realizing we're going to need "humans in the loop". This means designing to output human-manipulable data - perhaps models/skeletons/textures instead of whole output. Pixels are hard to manipulate directly! As for entertainment, already we see people sick of CGI - will people really want to pay for AI-generated video?

I subscribe to Disney+ and some of the content is a lot less perfect than the Sora videos presented there.

> The future of these high-fidelity (but not perfect) generative AI systems is in realizing we're going to need "humans in the loop" Last weekend my 7 year old decided he wanted to make and sell a shirt with an image of a space cat shooting a laser gun. It took him like 1 minute to use free Dalle3 to make and choose an image. Then I showed him a website to remove the background. Then I showed him a tool to AI-upscale the image. Then we uploaded it to Amazon Merch, it got approved after a few hours, and now it's for sale on Amazon. It took us maybe 10 minutes of effort end-to-end. Involved no artists. Funny enough, Amazon is full of AI-designed merch, there were like 7 pages of shirts with space cats with lasers.

  Oh sure, for "low end" applications, even this wave of generative AI is going to pull the rug under artists. I'm talking about, say, art for video games and actual movies.
