Absolutely. As it stands, it is already impossible to stay on top of what films and series are available, while having a life AND finding space to make films. AI will make the streaming explosion seem like a glass of water in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. People salivating about the opportunity of “finally” making those films they want to make are ignoring that those films will immediately sink to the bottom of the never ending pile of new stuff that will be thrown at everyone, every day, 24/7. Documentaries notwithstanding, it will turn filmmaking into a hobby as making a living from it will be virtually impossible. It painfully cheapens the medium.

Oh nooooo. The first AI film that is shown as a proof of concept doesn’t have the same depth as a medium that’s been around for a whole century! Whoa the humanity! Artists need to get over themselves. Sure, AI is a tool, but I think the thing scaring them is that they’re coming to the realization that you’re not special, your skills aren’t unduplicatable. The AI is young, but it’s been growing up and doing great things faster than any one person ever could. Humans aren’t metaphysically unique; there is no “soul”. AI will continue to advance and exist and it’s very possible it’ll become better at the arts (and sciences, and engineering, and manufacturing, etc etc) to the point that it surpasses what people can do. It doesn’t mean people can’t continue doing it, but crying about it is just feeling sorry for yourself and complaining about . Go find meaning in life in other ways and realize that little things like this can be enjoyed the same way that the first photograph or first moving picture or first audio recording weren’t by any means great, but they’re still interesting and capture an idea that inspired greater things.

@@robotortoiseThis is what I expect and hope to happen. There will be a greater emphasis not on the raw appearance or superficial technical qualities of a creative work, but on the process. People don't want to watch stuff that was churned out algorithmically; they want to watch stuff that other people took the time to craft with thought and care and attention to detail. It reminds me of how lots of AAA games with very detailed or realistic art styles but superficial gameplay pale in comparison to indie games with modest technical qualities but well-tuned gameplay.

Even though it has "no soul", if it is able to do its job and tell a good written story and have good ai voice acting its doing nothing wrong. And though it can't do that NOW, im certain in the future it will be able to make fluent, and amazingly written stories, as well as convey interesting narratives. With the idea that all of humanities artistic material being analyzed and deconstructed to create a masterpiece, i can't say no. Its like if someone was able to look at all the art in human existence with an expert eye, determine what made them good, and combine these techniques, and skills all into one painting. It would be beautiful. But people are so quick to turn that away due to the character of the creator, and not the character of the artwork.

@@DeathnoteBB Is it? The argument seems to be is that art should only come from the "true artists". I'm absolutely in favour of tools existing to let making art be easier. If we'd be talking tools that can effectively materialise a piece of art straight from someone's brain I don't think that something we should reject. I don't think there's any point to gatekeeping being an artist behind certain technical skills. My issue with the the people who promote "AI art" is that they do not seem to understand the actual value of art (beyond money, I guess). Let's say someone is very competent at copying the style of Van Gogh, so he lets people send them pictures which he then repaints in that style. Now, that requires an impressive amount of technical skill, and might be a neat result. But how is this actually any more artistic than just slapping an instagram filter on a photo? That's how I feel about "AI art" as it can mesh together a bunch of (successful) ideas but it does not understand why these choices were made in the first place nor can it make it a conscious choice about why to combine them in the way it did.

This is just a new artistic medium, and you are having the reaction that generations before you have had towards new artistic mediums. Join the long club of artistic luddites. When photography emerged in the mid-19th century, some painters feared it would replace traditional painting. French painter Paul Delaroche allegedly declared, "From today, painting is dead!" The French poet Charles Baudelaire was vocally critical of photography, regarding it as an artless medium that lacked the imagination of traditional art forms. He believed that photography was "art's most mortal enemy" and feared its effects on the artistic landscape, particularly its "stupidity of the masses The Crayon, an art journal in 1855, argued that photography, lacking "invention and feeling," could never assume a higher rank than engraving" In a text titled “The Menace of Mechanical Music,” Sousa, who was born on this day in 1854, let loose on what he saw as the threat. His 1906 essay warns that mechanical music is “sweeping across the country with the speed of a transient fashion in slang or Panama hats, political war cries or popular novels” and was becoming a “substitute for human skill, intelligence and soul.” Sousa was referring in this essay to recorded music, but also to mechanical instruments that played themselves-such as the player piano. In ancient times, even before the novel, Plato expressed concerns about the written word, which can be seen as a precursor to the novel form. In his dialogue "Phaedrus," Plato argued that writing would erode memory and understanding, as people would rely on external written characters rather than internal knowledge Desiderius Erasmus noted the ease of becoming a printer compared to other professions, hinting at the disruptive potential of this new technology to traditional crafts and trades: "It was easier to become a printer than a baker" Humans attack the new like white blood cells.

Not only the person who mistakenly relies on Al for expression will find themselves devoid of creative fulfillment, but also whoever watches it will as well. At the very least, half of the pleasure of experiencing something that produces an emotional response in us - be it something happening in the moment like a live performance or sports, or something already concluded, like a painting, book, sculpture, architecture, recorded music, photography or a film - is the subconscious awareness that a person, or a group of people, have, through time and dedication, achieved an ability to manipulate a specific medium in order to produce results that rival wizardry. I don't think I am romanticizing anything here; It's a testament to human resilience, dedication and ability. Much has already been said about what this will bring into our industry and I vehemently stand by everything you say on this video, but since we are emotionally invested in it, let's look at an example outside of audiovisual creativity: soccer. Using easy to recognize examples, what makes Ronaldo or Messi the galactic masters they are, what draws hordes of people to the stadiums they play in, is how they've developed themselves to be able to run, kick, jump and control the ball however and whenever they want, according to their understanding of the pitch and game strategy. If we deploy players with exoskeletons that enable them to outperform Ronaldo or Messi from the get-go in every front, what are we watching, exactly? What are we cheering for? Is there anything left to cheer for, actually? Is it morally acceptable that these exoskeleton-powered players play against those not wearing exoskeletons? Is every player going to be forced to use an exoskeleton due to the "democratization" of soccer playing in order to even be in the conversation? Am I a neo-luddite? I don't think I am. This not a technology that does something that people did but in a much more streamlined, effective way. This is a complete paradigm shift the likes of which we've never experienced before. In art, the process of creation is an integral part of the result. We cannot outsource or bypass this and cling onto the result as self-expression. Craft and skill cannot and will not be replaced and all those salivating over what Al will allow them to “create" without having put in the time to develop craft will amount to nothing. The solution here is legislation that deems anything created with Al uncopyrightable, therefore no one can capitalize on it, while still making it possible for it to be freely used in science, where it will undoubtedly usher in a much welcomed new age of miracles.

The French poet Charles Baudelaire was vocally critical of photography, regarding it as an artless medium that lacked the imagination of traditional art forms. He believed that photography was "art's most mortal enemy" and feared its effects on the artistic landscape, particularly its "stupidity of the masses The Crayon, an art journal in 1855, argued that photography, lacking "invention and feeling," could never assume a higher rank than engraving" In a text titled “The Menace of Mechanical Music,” Sousa, who was born on this day in 1854, let loose on what he saw as the threat. His 1906 essay warns that mechanical music is “sweeping across the country with the speed of a transient fashion in slang or Panama hats, political war cries or popular novels” and was becoming a “substitute for human skill, intelligence and soul.” Sousa was referring in this essay to recorded music, but also to mechanical instruments that played themselves-such as the player piano. In ancient times, even before the novel, Plato expressed concerns about the written word, which can be seen as a precursor to the novel form. In his dialogue "Phaedrus," Plato argued that writing would erode memory and understanding, as people would rely on external written characters rather than internal knowledge Desiderius Erasmus noted the ease of becoming a printer compared to other professions, hinting at the disruptive potential of this new technology to traditional crafts and trades: "It was easier to become a printer than a baker" Humans attack the new like white blood cells. Don't fall into that line of thinking, or you will come out on the other end bitter and empty. Future generations will look at your opinions as you do the opinions of the people I've quoted. I also think there is a misunderstanding here. What is the difference between a director with unlimited resources making his inner vision come to life on a film, and someone who has a vision for a film come to life through prompting? There's obviously less friction there. But photography provided the artist less friction than the paintbrush did. You aren't going to just say "make me a movie" you have to craft the film, scene by scene, compose it, edit it together.

No studio would risk a new IP being public domain immediately after release. Plus, it wouldn’t be that hard to guess the keywords used to make the short film, so no one would hire an AI “artist”.

While I don't think AI will be going any time soon (maybe ever if we're being honest), I don't think it will trascend as much as those who cheer for it do. Like any form or tool, it has limitations: as Advanced as CGI has gotten we still have more Ant Man Quantumanias than Avatar the Way of Water. Whats more is that AI is inherently at a disadvantage if not used properly as a tool: for as much as the media who lobby for this stuff to be used in art champion it, media cannot rewire the human brain itself, attention span reduction and that kind of stuff aside. Art without purpose or intention is still going to be Bad, no matter how advanced the technology is. There's a reason why so many movies coming out recently have been criticized as having "a script written by ChatGPT". People can be stupid but people also like to enjoy things, AI is not only boring and doing what already is most critized within culture (lack of originality), it is also deeply uncanny. The brain is a complex machine and it is always picking up on stuff we're not aware off. AI could be a weapon, not in a terminator way, but instead as a weapon against human creativity and soul. That's what I think we're really up against, as dramatic as it sounds. Still it has a long way to go until it actually starts replacing real art.

The irony of the balloon video, is that the creators revealed that the sequences they got from AI were mostly shit, and they still had to do tons of editing (like in real filmmaking) to have a character that has a consistently yellow balloon on his head. Sometimes the AI would generate balloons of other colors. Sometimes the AI would draw a face on the balloon. Sometimes it would just generate a person with a balloon floating alongside him. The whole point of this is, the real experience with AI filmmaking is worse, because instead of shooting scenes with intention that then you work on, you're given random scraps that you have to fix in post to somehow make it work.

This kind of reminds me of something that I saw in December. Here in Lyon they have a yearly "festival" called the Fête des Lumières where all around the city people are presented with beautiful pieces of art using lights and the architecture of the city. However, there was one that used AI "art" generating a lot classics of filmmaking made by Louis and Auguste Lumière like using "L'Arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat" and putting it in different time periods. The spectacle ultimately ended with something along the lines of "Who will be the big next innovator in filmmaking in this new era of AI?" As someone who is studying film here in France, this really bothered me. Comparing innovators of filmmaking to generated AI "art" gave me a bleak perspective into the future. Also seeing the crowd of people here "oooh", "aaah", and clap at the end of the presentation made me realize how disruptive AI can be to the general consumers of movies.

Although I don't think that "AI *music*" will ever reach the same level of personality and love as real music does, it feels like not enough people care for that to matter. If record labels ever get paid to release AI crap in the future, there would be no reason for them to sign artists when they can just make them from scratch.

A good majority of people, especially tech engineers, think this technology is garbage. It feels like it's "providing a solution" to a "problem" that never existed in the first place. It's mostly driven by hype, and dishonest marketing, and the tech CEOs know this. The people who say, "this tech is inevitable" or "the genie is out of the bottle", are the exact same people who pushed for NFTs and cryptocurrency (and look how they turned out). Now they're shifting their focus to I.A. (imitative algorithms), and expect us to fall for it in a similar fashion. And even if it does "get better", it will never do anything that a regular artist cannot replicate (other than being "faster"), because its data is _entirely_ driven by human-made art. It's honestly kind of pointless the more you think about it, and it becomes less of a "tool", and more of a "leach". And calling oneself an "artist" for using I.A., is like calling oneself a "track runner" for riding a motorcycle. "A.I." bros, and tech CEOs, don't want to hear this, but here's the truth: regulation is inevitable, and there's no such thing as "unregulated tech". They can say to themselves, "A.I. will outpace government oversight", but it's going to happen whether they like it or not. The E.U. and U.N. have already passed laws regulating this stuff, so it's only a matter of time before similar legislation is drafted in other countries. When I look at art, I think of it as psychology made flesh: it's about sharing perspectives, and points of view, through their own effort and skill. It's not just the "end product" that matters, but the sense of appreciation knowing what it took to making it in the first place. The real questions one should ask the artist are, "Is it coming from YOU as an individual?", "Is it honest?", "Is it providing some sort of fulfillment?", and "Can you describe the process?". TL;DR: It's art theft at worst, and a crutch at best: and that's me putting it kindly.

Well said. I've been saying this for years, but the future of "media" is imperfection. People want imperfection and bias, because it reinforces that something was made by a human. This is why we're seeing more and more videos of people just filming themselves talk while holding a lav mic strapped on some random utensil. Good job on this video, as always. As you said, AI is not sentient, and incapable of truly producing something "new" and "innovative". To me, anyone saying it can replace humans in making art doesn't understand what goes into producing such things, and what people want out of them. I think the fact we talk about everything with the same 1 word, "content", contributes to this. It's made everything blend together. We don't think of media as being different anymore. A video is "content", regardless of it being a tiktok, KZbin video, or a movie. "Content" is both a half-assed update in a live service game, and a wonderful indie game that took 1 guy 8 years to make. "Content" is videos, music, pictures, games.... Everything and anything to pass the time. No wonder people think that AI is capable of making "content" on its own. Can it? Absolutely. Is it any good? Does it have a point or a soul? Absolutely not. It's quite literally "average". An "average" of the data put into it. A statistical estimation of what the output of your prompt is, based on what HUMANS have done before.

I think what's about to happen to almost every single major industry, especially the entertainment industry is exactly what happened in America with the video game industry in the ealry 89's. For those of you who were too young or do not know your video game history, the biggest flaw of that 2600 in television colego Vision era was that there were no proper licensing and there also wasn't checks and balances on software quality at all. Meaning that basically any company or individual could release a game for any of the video game platforms and what that meant was that everyone just put tons of content that barely worked or was enjoyment for full price. Just deleted the value of video games and then basically the market crashed in the United States and caused some minor drawbacks around the world. Me this is what's going to happen with AI where now anyone and companies can not only just churn out mediocre to bad content but turn them out in like overwhelming droves like a DDOS attack on a network and it's basically going to strangle every single bit of entertainment industries as basically everything becomes a shitified and devalue with consumers losing trust in anything they consume.

Knowing that, I highly doubt we'll ever go back to the way things were, especially since there is literally NOTHING stopping developers of AI from just forging ahead indefinitely - and in a way why would they? It's the greatest head-on collision of art and technology ever - art, that is concerned with maximizing (human) self-expression, and technology, whose main goal is to make things as fast and as powerful as possible, as cheaply as possible. And all this AI schlock is put in front of the eyes of average consumers who can't even tell the difference. Real art may die soon

People like to create and play an active part in the process of creating to have this connection with the final product. Maybe in future there are people who create new things because of visionary prompting AI.

the balloon video is just supposed to be a tech showcase, saying it's cringe as a film is silly. It is an advertisement, of course it's not gonna be thematically meaningful. You wouldn't see an ad for a beer and be offended at how derivative it is- it's just an ad.

AI-generated films make The Emoji Movie look like The Godfather.

AI will reduce the cost of filmmaking down to the price of photography, the same way 16mm and digital did. Did anyone bat an eye when the film editing crew was automated by Avid or the cameras got so small they had fewer assistant cameramen on set and nixed the film loader and the development lab? The reduction in cost democratizes the form and makes it so more independent voices can enter the field. This would lead to a new wave of unique visions that will be less political and less commercial than the trash we have today. Honestly, I'm excited for the future of AI in filmmaking. People without access to big crews, big connections (which often come with big selling out) will make unique films. Don't believe it? Just look at the film *Late Night With The Devil* which utilized AI in some shots and was an awesome take on the horror genre. Also remember ... AI is trained on Good Art. If the Art is not Good, wherever it comes from, the AI Art won't be. Humans make Art good even if the landscape is bad (sometimes). So if the quality dips too much, then AI won't be producing good Art anymore. But if the quality of what it's trained on is good, it will challenge mediocre artists. This all comes to a junction where it raises the standards for Human artists a lot both to produce Art that future trained AI can be good at and that stays competitive against increasingly AI generated works.

Have you heard about the AI and Late Night with the Devil controversy? Bc I feel like it's not necessarily a misuse of AI and it makes sense why they did it but the backlash is a little too much
