I have a feeling if any of these video generators tried to make a "clip" longer than a couple of seconds they would rapidly become a lot less "real looking"
The generation that grows up with Ai won't know what real is. For them, the Ai look is the one they are comfortable with, and the real videos are the odd looking ones. Man I wanted to make a joke, but this is scary as hell. Hope I'm wrong with the future...
I feel like it's more likely more and more young people will just retreat from the open internet and only trust content from people they already know don't post AI clips.
I agree, I really don't think the concerns about "not being able to tell what's real" will be a major issue (at least to those who care about knowing what's real). Social media has been full of human-made slop for years and if someone is getting their sense of reality from social media posts, then that is the problem and AI isn't going to dramatically change that.
This has been true for a very long time. There are entire generations that want to look in real life how face filters on Instagram and Snapchat made them and others look on social media.
This is just another step in that direction, and it's depressing how bad it is already.
Selling prosthetic 6th fingers will be where the money is at.
It's like Infinite Jest, just an alternate timeline.
