    Instead of using robots to replace menial jobs and help humans who have physical labour jobs, they’ve invented a tool that will get rid of all white collar jobs, forcing us all into manual, low paid labour jobs.

    Taxes will fall off a cliff and life will get really bad because the state won’t have money to maintain the country. Companies making Ai content won’t be able to sell it because no one can has money to buy it. In general all product sales will fall off a cliff, except for food, and many companies will close, resulting in mass unemployment and eventually collapse of society …

    Great job morons!

      If AI gets really good, manual labor automation won’t be far behind, as the AI itself will be applied to robotics and AI research.

      The only thing of value left will be natural resources.

        Sounds like good motivation for the machines to kill us off and keep the resources for themselves

          More like, a motivation for the wealthy who control the machines to kill us off.

          AI sentience is still science fiction but AI-powered corporate exploitation is very real, right now.

          That’s assuming they have that goal. The goal of survival and reproduction exists because of natural selection (those that don’t have that goal simply don’t make it into the next generation, when competing against those that do).

          But that doesn’t necessarily apply to AI systems. At least while humans have a say in which systems survive and get developed further, and which ones get scrapped. When humans control the resources, the best way to get a sizable allocation of them is by being useful to humans (or at least making them believe that).

        Happily my job is so shit and poorly paid that I don’t anticipate it ever being worth automating. Sometimes humans are just cheaper.

      There’s always money/wealth in the economy. If the workers don’t have it, someone else does. Find where the money is, and tax it. Then redistribute.

      It’s not a hard concept. It’s a question of the political will. We know what to do, but will we do it?

      TLDR: a year ago AI video was garbage. Today it’s almost as good as one that would cost a few hundred thousand dollars to pay a human production team to make (according to someone who’s professional work is creating those videos).

      It’s not quite there - hands glitch out occasionally. Sometimes animation doesn’t quite line up right (e.g. walking might skip a step) but it’s 99% there and and the improvements over the last 12 months are astounding. That last 1% surely won’t take long to close.

      There was a landscape drone video from a helicopter that looked absolutely real.

      Note this is not publicly available yet - OpenAI said they are still working on safety features to reduce the risk of it being used to create content that they want no part in.

      I’ve asked Gemini for a summary and it’s pretty spot on:

      This video is about AI generated videos and how they have become very realistic.

      The speaker, Marques Brownlee, discusses a new AI model called Sora that can generate videos from text input. He shows examples of videos generated by Sora, including one of a woman walking down a Tokyo street, a car driving up a mountain road, and a litter of puppies playing in the snow. He points out that these videos are still not perfect, but they are much better than what was possible just a year ago.

      He discusses the implications of this technology, both good and bad. On the one hand, it could be used to create fake videos that could be used to deceive people. On the other hand, it could be used to create stock footage that is more affordable and accessible than ever before. Brownlee concludes by saying that this technology is still in its early stages, but it has the potential to change the world in many ways.

          Let’s see. Spend several minutes composing a few paragraphs, followed by revising because of errors in composition, spelling,or grammar…or simply spend a few seconds with AI. Work smarter not harder.

          Let’s see your summary of the article, then. I can’t help but notice you haven’t included one in your comment.

          (Apologies if you were being tongue in cheek.)

    I’m really excited for this. This way, converting my favourite webtoons to full blown animations won’t be that difficult (in the sense that it won’t cost millions of dollars). Really exciting times!

      Have a look at Blender it is free and open source software which enables you to create 3d animations. You can find tutorials on the Internet.

        That requires vastly more work to produce any results at all, to the point that most animation people might want to produce never gets made because the process is far too expensive. Mediocre animation that gets made using AI tools is better then high-quality animation that never gets made at all.

        Blender and AI tools both have their place but they’re not interchangeable. And just wait until Blender starts incorporating AI, which it will, because the purpose of something like Blender is to use computers to automate most of the work that would need to be done with previous generations of tools, and AI is just an extension of that. Animation will exist on a continuum from fully handmade artwork to fully machine generated artwork. Unless you think everything should be drawn by hand one frame at a time, you should be happy about everyone being able to produce animation in a way that suits their skill level and the amount of time they have available.

      Consistency is still an issue. It’s hard to generate multiple images or videos and have a consistent visual style with ai

        Not necessarily. Fine-tuning models can solve this issue to a great degree. The model’s behavior is largely dependent on its training data. If it has generic training data, it’s going to produce generic images.

        See Corridor crew’s anime experiment. They managed to solve this issue to a great degree in their second version. It’s quite cool!
