| These are awful. It’s like Suno music. Seems convincing if you half listen. As soon as you pay attention you notice all the cracks. |

| Unless I'm misunderstanding the article, or your comment, the models were responsible for generating the music _videos_. The music itself is Uptown Funk... which was a very successful song in 2014 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPf0YbXqDm0) The videos are indeed awful though. |

| ▲ | saaaaaam 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Yes, I know what the music is. The videos are awful. I meant that watching them is an equivalent experience to listening to music generated by Suno. | | |
| ▲ | esikich 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | They are awful because there is no effort put into it. You're missing the point entirely with generative art. Generative art with care and intent is indiscernible from "real" art at this point. You just don't realize it. | | |
| ▲ | 4chandaily 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Generative art with care and intent is art. The intent and care is the whole point. It is the difference between slop and art whether generative or not. | | |
| ▲ | esikich 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | I completely agree and this is a very unpopular opinion outside of people who actually are artists. | | |
| ▲ | slopinthebag an hour ago | parent [-] | | I think because pretty much all AI generated art is slop. When artists use AI with care and intention in their works, people don’t even realize it’s AI and they don’t care. And that’s fine. | | |

| The more concerning part is that a much less discerning audience will happily engage with and watch endless hours of AI slop videos. For example what happens if you give a 3 year old a tablet and youtube access to keep clicking on things. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ai-baby-slop-9.7166873 https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/us/ai-videos-children-you... Or for an "Adult" audience, I'm sure you could get an AI to create videos of "OW, My balls!" from Idiocracy. https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Dh4l!,f_auto,q_auto:... https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D4E22AQEqLntg_DW7vg/fee... |

| Lmao yeah I’d rather give $100 to a college kid to film a bunch of shit and then splice it together. Would be significantly more interesting. |
| |
| ▲ | bko 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | What college kid would do that for $100? Seems like a lot of work. They might do it for free if they enjoy it or for a class, but purely for the money, not even close to being worth their time. |

| Visual effects went through this same development issues as the industry matured. What took this industry decades to advance it taking months in AI. Think the spaghetti Will Smith and now this. Another one people don't mention here but is specific to video is higgsfield ai. |

| ▲ | coldtea 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | >Visual effects went through this same development issues as the industry matured The industry haven't matured except until a certain point. Then it declined. Modern visual effects are worse than practical effects in their heyday. They are also worse done than 3D effects in their tasteful early days (like Jurassic Park). | |
| ▲ | claaams 7 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Those old movies with old visual effects are watchable and still enjoyable. This is never good, interesting or enjoyable. | | |
| ▲ | KronisLV 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | > Those old movies with old visual effects are watchable and still enjoyable. Id say it’s definitely possible to get spoiled by high production quality - if I went back to the old Star Trek or even the first seasons of the Doctor Who reboot, I’d mostly have to try to enjoy it for the story (then again, Doctor Who has never been overly concerned with presentation, the most fearsome aliens in the galaxy being metal boxes with plungers sticking out of them is quite silly). Same with most CGI in the older movies or even the style of older anime, it can all be a bit hard to watch. I guess I also experience the same with video games, though to a lesser degree - some like Hidden & Dangerous 2 can still be enjoyed whereas something like Operation Flashpoint would be quite frustrating, though more often due to controls rather than graphics. Ehh, they did what they could at the time. | |
| ▲ | pennomi 6 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Survivorship bias. Not disagreeing with you that these are unwatchable, but it’s a little rose-tinted to think that (non-AI) slop didn’t exist a long time ago. | | |

| ▲ | clickety_clack 7 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Spaghetti Will Smith was 3 years ago, so it’s taking a little longer than months. | | | |
| ▲ | 10xDev 6 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | It is remixing what the industry created, not advancing past it. OpenAI even ended Sora in under a year. Anthropic doesn't even bother. | |
| ▲ | saaaaaam 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Yes, I imagine in six months or so this will be far better. | |

| ▲ | thrance 6 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Spaghetti Will Smith was funny, this only inspires disgust in me: a clear downgrade. We're just getting deeper in the uncanny valley, with no end in sight. > Visual effects went through this same development issues as the industry matured. The difference is intent. Watching an old movie, the effects are obviously janky and far from seamless, but the authors had intent and the imperfections are understandable. When an AI jumbles a basic walk animation, it's just weird and soulless. The prompter just didn't want to spend any time doing actual work, so used this slop as a stand-in, when better techniques exists. |
