Such videos are essentially dreams: how it feels that the planks should move, not what equations of rigid body physics would compute. And the feeling is realistic (even if overly dramatic in the end). If "stylistic transfer" works for static pictures spread out in space, why won't it work for the character of motion spread out in time?

Just curious - are you at all concerned about the legal implications of ai-generating property listing videos?

Image-search for “hand hole” at your own peril.

I mean if we're just blasting past our climate tipping points anyhow, why not just actively dump entire lakes' worth of water out for people to post slop for clout, right?

May as well power off the whole grid now and have the Amish start teaching us how to survive

It keeps crashing my browser as well. I'm on Microsoft Edge.

Sounds like someone would use LLM to make it and no single human has reviewed

Safari?

It ruined the whole category of "cute animals acting goofy" content for sure.

For a few weeks, YouTube thought I wanted to see videos of package thieves being surprised by a booby-trapped box that was actually a glitter bomb. Video after video were these AI created shorts of supposed doorbell camera footage showing a thief running away with a box that explodes into a giant pink cloud.

I eventually picked one and opened the comments and the top comment was something like "This is obviously an AI video. Who watches this?" and the reply was along the lines of "me because I like seeing thieves get what's coming to them".

So you, like me, aren't interested in AI videos but I think there's a lot of people who don't care if it's real or not.

Thankfully, YouTube eventually stopped showing those to me. Now it thinks I'm interested in road rage videos. My YouTube feed outside of the three of four channels I've subscribed to is terrible.

I think the opposite. It allows more people to be creative. Similar to how the DAW allowed more people to become musicians. You can produce a hit song with just a laptop now.

Now you can have people producing videos without needing a crew of people.

It's not all bad: https://www.tiktok.com/@openchub/video/7641631412407274782

Me too - awesome job.

Google often does this - they show it off and forget to give it to you.

It seems like this super-product will have to be a thing soon or we will have to just stop using video evidence in court and other critical applications

Now that they've broken the ability to trust video, they're looking to build it back, as long as you're allowed to use the tools:

(and the previous SynthID: https://deepmind.google/blog/identifying-ai-generated-images...)

But it very much is "close the barn door after the horse has bolted and the barn has otherwise burned down".

At one point the only way to know if something is real or by a major US tech company is nudity.

you would watch a movie generated with the sterility of an LLM?

At the moment the duration of each shot is a major limitation. When that limitation gets solved is when we'll see actual disruption.

Hollywood is already in a rough era but it’s because they can’t create original human stories any more.

This tech won’t change anything.

Back in 90s during the first wave of the desktop video revolution when desktop editing became possible and consumer camcorders got pretty good, there was a popular marketing slogan: "Now your imagination is the only limit."

I used to joke that was the moment we discovered "for most people that's a pretty big limit."
