What I am curious to learn is how many episodes of a TV series made by real actors it will take for an "AI" to eventually make perfect extensions

ie. feed it every episode of the original Star Trek series, at some point "AI" is going to be advanced enough to write a new episode and simulate all the characters perfectly

anime and animation in theory will be even easier to do perfectly?

the question is can it do it perfectly with just a dozen episodes? or does three dozen make it better?

because once that happens, that's all the networks will pay for, after all they are only about the commercials they can insert into content regardless of source

and yes viewers will eventually accept it the same way they won't quit X or meta, etc. regardless of how horrible they become or the sub-human behavior of the owners

I don't think it will ever be able to make perfect extensions, because there is no perfect extension. Part of creative work is human imperfections. Part of me being invested in a series is because I know it will end at some point.

If there's infinite star trek episodes, I don't care to watch it. I'd rather spin a fidget spinner instead.

you are reacting as if the content is going to be robotic

except "AI" doesn't have any original thoughts of its own, everything is going to be originally from a human source

it might be a concept from some rare book they fed it and destroyed after, it might be a concept from thousands of "fan fic" they hoovered up all over the internet by scraping forums illegally

you say you won't watch it except human behavior already demonstrates there are millions of other people who will

it's an unfortunate future but an easily predictable one

all about making cheap content to insert ads, the ads are the point, not the content

like product placement in a $100 million action movie, except soon they will be able to make the movie for $100 instead of $100 million and most won't know the difference

First, prove it in porn. Then let us talk.

I'm sorry but it sounds like you don't have a very good understanding of what art is or what role it plays in human existence. What kind of grades did you get in English class as a kid?

no it will be uncanny slop just like all the AI slop I've already had forced on me

> there are millions of other people who will

yeah millions of people like all kinds of dreck. sure, you probably liked The Big Bang Theory but some of us have taste

I'm not a fan, but it's a massive insult to compare a show written by a team of writers like The Big Bang Theory to AI generated TV slop for illiterate retards.

		AI-cloned shows will suffer on day #1 what the original show suffered after the 5th year or so -- the plausible and original plot lines have been used up. So the AI-gen story lines will be implausible or derivative copies of familiar plots from the original series or other shows.

Why wouldn't the users just generate it themselves?

on their own computer using open weight chinese models?

More seriously

1) >users will generate their own

some people write fanfic, most just watch/read instead.

2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebel_Without_a_Crew explains how film maker will film, with whatever they have. AI will enable some people to make what is not financially feasible right now for a single person to do.

'Unique' movie/stories creation will continue.

And like with the rest of things AI can do, the question is more 'who's going to pay for person-made vs "algorithmically optimized AI generated story'.

Same question we have of 'AI generated code' vs 'this code was written by a person'.

Sora was QUICKLY shut down due to the astronomical cost. On what basis do you claim that using language models to generate feature films would be cheap?

▲

Sora isn't cheap, but regular films regularly cost more than $100m to film. Spending $20k on tokens is relatively cheap.

		I would be surprised if production costs for films regularly exceeds $100M. I assume the vast majority of 9 figure films have marketing as the 9 figure expense, including pay for high profile actors/directors/producers, which is also a form of marketing.

This is exactly how I see it. Most companies participating in such games are digging their own grave long term, because of fear of someone else doing that

▲

because it's too expensive. Go try out Sora to see for yourself. oh right you can't
