The problem is that due to the ease these can be made there is also really no reason to make this social. “Why would I look at somebody else’s creations when I can do mine.”

I can see some usage for this use case - "look Morty, I turned myself into a pickle!" - but just like image / meme generators, this is like 10-30 seconds of engagement within a friend circle at best (although some might go viral, but that won't bring in much money for in this case OpenAI).

There will be (or is, I'm behind the times / not on the main social networks) an undercurrent or long tail of AI generated videos, the question is whether those get enough engagement for the creators to pay for the creation tool.

They're different impulses. Some want to consume. Others want to create.

TikTok and social media is a strange mix of both, people posting response videos to everything.

Personally, I've stopped subscribing to Spotify, YT music, etc because the slop from Suno is good enough to replace mainstream music or whatever lofi playlist. It's free, it's good enough, and it's not grating to hear after a few days of that favorite song.

The video slop can well replace TikTok and Reels. Make educational content about your hometown. Explain how to throw an uppercut.

But I guess the desire to create something that others would consume is also different from the desire to simply create.

		Some want to consume... content that they don't think they could do in one minute themselves. They want to consume content made by other humans, even if it's still brain-eating algorithmic fodder, but still. Sora proved it quite clearly. These clips had ZERO value.

		> The video slop can well replace TikTok and Reels. Make educational content about your hometown. Explain how to throw an uppercut. There is a fundamental issue of trust here. Facebook has me tagged as history nerd so I get to see those slop videos. They are fun, but always superficial and often plainly wrong. So unless the slop comes from a known, trustworthy source, the educational element is simply not there. For throwing an uppercut it's even more important, if you follow wrong slop instructions you can end up breaking your wrist or fingers.

		> the slop from Suno is good enough to replace mainstream music I wonder what OP categorises as 'mainstream'. As a classical musician this breaks my heart.
