If it still takes humans doing all this extra work to get the job done, wouldn’t it make more financial and ecological sense to just…

…

…pay artists a living wage to do the same fucking job instead?

Someone should tell them this was an option all along before they waste any more time and resources on this.

We’re gonna burn our planet

We? Or maybe just a handful of tech bros with too much money.

it's incumbent on sam altman to pretend that ai will more efficiently drain the world's money, capital and power into the hands of the ultra rich, because this is how he causes money, capital and power to drain into his hands

Every Frame a Drunken Painting

I tried very hard to use co-pilot for a quick logo creation task. CLL Consulting is a fake company name. I put in quotes like Microsoft suggested, but my output was not as smooth as the Microsoft TV commercial.

(on edit - when you hit the buttons on screen for "change the style of this logo to ___" like watercolor or whatever, it spells it in new and different ways)

the purpose of AI image generation is to make dumb pictures for Twitter until the novelty wore off

Maybe good for a novelty but it wears off extremely fast

putting in hours of fighting against its...

* that haven't been individually debunked yet, just the big splashy one they publicised most heavily

true, i do love the video of wolf pups intersecting and disappearing and regenerating like in a dream, or the incredibly creepy birthday one with fake humans morphing into one another and i'd love to see what sort of disturbing and content infringing stuff i could produce with it if it didn't consume a rainforest's worth of power for five seconds of video

fucking called it

Did they claim the video was unedited Sora output?

This is the article that I read at launch:

Has generative video’s problem with faces and hands been solved? Not quite. We still get glimpses of warped body parts. And text is still a problem (in another video, by the creative agency Native Foreign, we see a bike repair shop with the sign “Biycle Repaich”). But everything in “Air Head” is raw output from Sora. After editing together many different clips produced with the tool, Shy Kids did a bunch of post-processing to make the film look even better. They used visual effects tools to fix certain shots of the main character’s balloon face, for example.

I think what they claimed “this is what real artists can do with this technology”

Which appears exactly what this video is.
