The thing that fills me with dread watching these videos is not (much) the thought of how many jobs it might make useless. It's the thought that every single pixel, every movement is fake. There is literally not a speck of truth in these videos, there is nothing one can learn about the real world. Yes they're often "right" but any detail can be wrong at any moment. Just like ChatGPT hallucinating but in a much deeper way- we know that language can be used to lie or just make up things, but a realistic video hits in a different way. For example the video of the crested pigeon- a bird I haven't seen before- is beautiful and yet it can be wrong in an infinity of details- actually, I don't even know if such a bird exists.
