I appreciate they posted the skateboarding video. Wildly unrealistic whenever he performs a trick - just morphing body parts.
Some of the videos look incredibly believable though.
- dyauspitr 2y agoThe honey, Peruvian women, swimming dog, bee keeper, DJ etc. are stunning. They’re short but I can barely find any artifacts.
- __float 2y agoThe prompt for the honey video mentions ending with a shot of an orange. The orange just...isn't there, though?
- johndough 2y agoIt is great so see a limitations section. What would be even more honest is a very large list of videos generated without any cherry picking to judge the expected quality for the average user. Anyway, the lack of more videos suggests that there might be something wrong somewhere.
- cyv3r 2y agoI don't know why they say the model understands physics when it makes mistakes like that still.
- bahmboo 2y agoCracks in the system are often places where artists find the new and interesting. The leg swapping of the ice skater is mesmerizing in its own way. It would be useful to be able to direct the models in those directions.
- mattigames 2y agoJust pretend it's a movie about a shape shifter alien and it's just trying it's best at ice skating, art is subjective like that doesn't it? I bet Salvador Dali would have found those morphing body parts highly amusing.
- visnup 2y agoour only hope for verifying truth in the future is that state officials give their speeches while doing kick flips and frontside 360s.
- markus_zhang 2y agoMaybe they will do more in person talks, I guess. Back to the old times.
- notthatofftopic 2y agoUntil the AI can master the art of creating "footage of someone's phone if they were in the crowd of the speech in this other video", then we can't even trust that.
- stabbles 2y agosadly it's likely that video gen models will master this ability faster than state officials
- mikepurvis 2y agoRemember when the iPhone came out and BlackBerry smugly advertised that their products were “tools not toys”? I remember saying to someone at the time that I was pretty sure iPhone was going to get secure corporate email and device management faster than BlackBerry was going to get an approachable UI, decent camera, or app ecosystem.
- throw4321 2y agoWhat officials actually say doesn't make a difference anymore. People do not get bamboozled because of lack of facts. People who get bamboozled are past facts.
- forgingahead 2y agoOff topic from the video AI thread, but to elaborate on your point: people believe what they want, based on what they have been primed to believe from mass media. This is mainly the normal TV and paper news, filtered through institutions like government proclamations, schools, and now supercharged by social media. This is why the "narrative" exists, and news media does the consensus messaging of what you should believe (and why they hate X and other freer media sources). By the time the politician says it, you've been soaking in it for weeks or months, if not longer. That just confirms the bias that has been implanted in you.
- kaonwarb 2y agoThis was my favorite of all of the videos. There's no uncanny valley; it's openly absurd, and I watched it 4-5 times with increasing enjoyment.
