People are doing cool things with it. Here’s one example:
https://www.tiktok.com/@dreamrelicc https://www.tiktok.com/@dreamrelicc
Before AI, each video on this channel would have taken a large team with a Hollywood budget to create. In a few more years, one person may be able to turn their creative vision into a full-length movie.
- j4hdufd8 1y agoWhat are the benefits of those videos?
- minimaxir 1y agoWhat are the benefits of producing any video?
- drexlspivey 1y agoWhat are the benefits of this comment?
- j4hdufd8 1y agoChallenging the value of AI generated "art"
- frde_me 1y agoThen the purpose of those videos is to challenge the value of non AI generated "art" (half sarcastic, but you could make the argument that most art has no benefit besides to the person that made the art)
- j4hdufd8 1y agoNice! I enjoyed this sub thread. I'm not sure what I conclude but I enjoyed thinking about this.
- busymom0 1y ago> People are doing cool things with it Things are cool because they are unique, very hard to create, and require creativity. When those things become cheap commodities, they are no longer cool.
- minimaxir 1y agoThe same could be said about software, and it's safe to say that open-source software making complex workflows easier and more efficient is a net good. Making better tools is better for everyone: the median usage of those tools downstream is a separate issue.
- viccis 1y agoIf you're comparing how art is evaluated to how software is evaluated then it sounds like you only understand one or the other.
- cubefox 1y agoIndeed. Art is partially evaluated by how impressive it is. That's why posting AI images on social media won't yield a lot of likes anymore. People have gotten used to images being easy to create, so they aren't seen as valuable anymore. The same will be true for videos. AI pictures today are much less impressive than Dall-E 2 pictures were a few years ago, despite the fact that the models are much better nowadays. Currently AI videos can still be impressive, but this will quickly become a thing of the past. Then people will move from trying to create art to creating "content". That is, non-artistic slop. Advertisements. Porn. Meme jokes. Click bait. Rage bait. Propaganda. Etc.
- thorum 1y agoI would argue that we just get pickier and more sensitive to slop. When everyone can make a movie, the standard for a good movie will be higher. Many current Hollywood films wouldn’t make the cut. But maybe some kid in Nigeria makes the greatest film of all time.
- rhetocj23 1y agoThis is absolutely horrible. People need to be exposed to what is real. Not more artificial stuff. I think this is the point at which humanity will finally puke and reject this crap. Just because a small segment of people like it doesnt mean the mass majority will.

- qingcharles 1y agoMaybe your real is good. For most people on Earth, real isn't that great.
- FergusArgyll 1y agoI personally love Monet, he's not for everyone, I know, but I'm sure you can find some art you appreciate
- cubefox 1y agoYou probably don't personally love AI generated impressionist content.
- FergusArgyll 1y agoNo, but there's some stuff that are really creative. Ironically I think the reason I'm more positive about it is because I only encounter AI generated (non-text media) ~ once a week / 2 weeks.
- cubefox 1y agoBut modern AI could create images which are basically indistinguishable from a real Monet if you are not an expert. So the fact that you like Monet's pictures, but not Monet-like AI pictures, shows that part of what you like is the fact that an image is made by a specific human instead of being generated by a diffusion model.
- jasonsb 1y ago> In a few more years, one person may be able to turn their creative vision into a full-length movie. Yes, but at the same time the value of video production will quickly drop to 0. Or to whatever it costs to generate that video in terms of tokens.
- intended 1y agoThe value will shift to search or curation - if the cost to produce drops to nil, then the value will be in finding good content amongst a flood of sameness.
- asdev 1y agoI speak for everyone when I say we don't need these videos at all and would be better off without them
- thorum 1y agoI disagree, so not everyone, I guess!
- knowaveragejoe 1y agoI love the aesthetic in this person's videos, I just wish it wasn't on tiktok :(
- squidsoup 1y agoThe problem is, it isn't their aesthetic, it's a resynthesis of the aesthetic of someone else's work.
- knowaveragejoe 1y agoI wasn't claiming they had ownership of that aesthetic, and that sort of gets into philosophical questions about whether one can own such a thing anyways. I like the style and I'm glad they have the tools to bring it into clarity from the abstract.

- typon 1y agoThis is terrible
- citizenpaul 1y agoThose videos look like some teenager thoughtlessly applying an aftereffects filter(whatever) to 1000 short selfie videos. On What planet would this require a Hollywood budget and years? Who are you shilling for exactly? Do you really believe what you write.
