TLDW? bald denier fuck tells world his ai slop is amazing, its not, and AI created to reduce/remove/simplify artistic jobs will somehow not remove or reduce said jobs. because ai star wars slopp is what we alllllll want. oh and no real voice actors... or actors for that matter. sign here, and here. and by reading this comment aloud disney now owns the rights to your voice/likeness in perpetuity. yada yada yada
also over 10k dislikes for those without the addon
He won’t listen. The only way to get them is through the pocketbook, don’t go to any AI slop movies.
I'm sure I won't be tempted. It's damn hard to get me into a theater these days as it is.
This is absolutely foul and should be denounced. Holy shit what trash. This dude doesn't have a creative bone in his body.
As a biologist and fan of SciFi/speculative evolution, having it be AI is one issue, but the bigger problem to me is the lack of creativity. They're literally just obvious mixups of two earth animals? Cmon, let's have more imagination here!
I just tested with Gemini "Make an image of an alien creature that is a mix of a crustacean and squid, but with fur, climbing up a purple tree. there are lianas and vines falling down around it with orange flowers"
This shit's just sad. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
I think were getting a little to quick to the trigger in shitting on AI. I dont see any problem in what I saw watching the Ted talk. I didn't watch every minute of it but what I saw for what the article is calling AI slop seemed like viable use of AI to create fictional creatures.
This is ILM, though, considering what they’ve accomplished in the past with hands-on tools, for the current chief creative officer to embrace AI so wholeheartedly, and for the result to just be “animal crossed with animal”, it’s pretty disappointing
Seriously the AI generated creatures were weak bullshit. Maybe they mostly looked good, but none of them evoked anything actually alien, which was the supposed point.
From the perspective of a person from this very industry - the examples are at a level of a 10-yo. And the execution is absolutely terrible, even not conisdering it's from ILM.
Might look like any other "CGI" to people from outside the industry, but it absolutely is slop.
Watched the whole thing. He had some valid points, especially where full permission from the talent is concerned. The "field guide" models were pretty uninspired, but they did a good job showcasing what is possible.
I have mixed feelings. Using AI responsibly is the ideal goal, but we have seen that this is largely not going to be the case both now and moving forward.
new technology is never used responsibly
business owners only care about minimizing costs and cornering control of new tech
history is full of examples
look at the industrial revolution, the tech will win but society isnt better in all ways
and this really isnt looking star treck so much as black mirror
look at the genetic testing fad, it was mostly a scam.
It's crazy how it sometimes feels like it's no longer enough to simply not like something - instead, one has to make actively hating it a part of their identity. People get conditioned to be triggered by certain keywords, and it doesn't seem to matter what is said afterward or what the nuances of the particular case are - they've already decided how to react.
what nuance?
these are rich fucks shitting up another industry for profit at the cost of quality and talent
no one is mad a currently talented artists using ai to help create quality work (instead it is usually obvious slop) or people fucking around with ai personal use (instead fuckers try to pretend they ‘created’ something)
people are just tired of ai slop filling up the already dead internet with even more bot level trash
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
