The sample video looks incredible and the ability to keep details consistent for so long is impressive but it _still_ looks screams of AI in every single shot.

The sample video looks incredible and the ability to keep details consistent for so long is impressive but it _still_ looks screams of AI in every single shot. I can’t put my finger on why, something about the way the rooms are put together, the expressions of the faces, the movements… It’s very unsettling.

No need to fret, this is the worst it's going to be. Remember, Will Smith + Spaghetti videos?

  It could also still be the best it's ever going to be.

    Unfortunately trillions of dollars have been invested to ensure that's not the case..

    Anybody old enough to remember when https://imagen.research.google/video/ https://imagen.research.google/video/ was SOTA?

      do you remember that article from google where it would hallucinate as if it was on acid/psychedelics and people going crazy saying this is the AI "imagining reality" and then shortly after some Googler went on a very brief media tour saying LLMs were sentient? its crazy how much people extrapolate, the consensus back then was "cute but we won't get there" then suddenly we got GPT 3.0, 4o, 5.x, seedance what people really underestimate is how much faster progress is now with AI

  The bicycle was improved a lot when it was created but did changed a little since then too

  The last 1% of progress will take 99% of the time.

    we are not even half way there lol

  Wasn’t that a different level of challenge? It was easy to call out the problems with it and recognize gaps to close. With Seedance 2.5, I’m not sure how I’d describe it other than “looking like AI video and all AI video is inherently off-putting”. People smarter than me are working on this but I’d be surprised if it ever actually became tolerable to look at it.

I think we as humans are just really good at being able to tell. CGI has been around for decades and yet we can still look at it and say "yeah that was CGI". Uncanny valley I guess?
