Exactly, exactly this. At best, AI is “so bad it’s good.” But like Hollywood, generally it’s just bad and boring. I guess if it’s funny enough maybe it’s worth sharing the silly thing it did, but let’s not act like it did something cool - it fucked up in a way so surprising that it’s funny. That’s all.
Right now, sure. But remember that 10 years ago, neural net generated images were putting eyes everywhere, and wouldn’t create anything close to a believable photo. I wouldn’t be surprised if 10 years from now, video’s will have made a similar leap.
On the other hand, I do hope that between now and then, some laws will have been put in place to only train on ethically sourced datasets - which will slow down progress, but is more fair to the creators.
It’s definitely cool from that standpoint. Don’t get me wrong. But the output from image and video AI usually doesn’t impress me all that much. It’s technically impressive but the output doesn’t surpass what a competent human can do. And I know the fear is that eventually it will, but I adamantly believe it never will.
