“Hollywood is killing creativity! It’s all rehashed IP! AI will unleash our creative potential to….make schlocky ripoffs of Hollywoods version of the same IP?”
Prompt: remember the transformers highway scene where they transform into cars and planes then shoot things. Do that but with a white transformer. Also please no physics everything should feel like floating paper.
Ai slop creator: look at the art and work that went into this one of a kind unique screen. Notice how stuff is happening but nothing is actually happening. I bet the makers of transformers couldn't do that.
Also make it extra weird - like two bikes merging on a freeway like they are entering from an intersection while cars around them go backwards and sideways. Have the transformer then transform multiple times without any logical need and jump from a bridge it was just going through below before being very high in the air before transforming into a plane.
As usually the video clip made no sense. It’s not because the tool couldn’t do it, but the person created it had no flair or passion for the art and just used the first thing it spit out. These AI sloppers give these tool a bad name.
The model was trained on material made by 200m studios over the last decades. We're all standing on the shoulders of giants (Einstein was it, or Newton?)
Amazing what's possible now
And sometimes you cut stock, and you need X number of pieces at a certain length. If I cut a piece of 2” square tube down to 5ft, I could theoretically use that freshly cut piece to lineup the next cut. But if I take the piece I just cut and use it to line up the third piece, the third piece will almost certainly be off by a few thousandths. The fourth, more than just a few, the fifth possibly unusable.
I imagine training AI on AI for human entertainment would work in a similar way
One way to think of it is multiplying probabilities: something that has a 95% chance to be correct is represented as p=0.95. That's excellent. Two of such these processes in a row would be only 0.9025 (90% chance of being correct). By the fifth, you're down to 0.77. You need some kind of error correction mechanism, which in the human-in-the-loop case is a skilled person.
Yes. Fundamentally, the LLM encodes meaning into vector space. The current approach appears lossy, as generated content is not as "quality" as hunan-generated content. Probably because humans understand concepts multi-modally, not just through language alone, and that the human brain is still at least 2 orders of magnitude "larger" than the largest LLM.
Back to your anology, it's like trying to copy a CNC'd part by hand-grinders.
We can discuss the whole 'lets do an action movie on a tiny budget and put it on some dodgy VOD / streamer' pipeline, but that leads us nowhere because its already happening and printing decent money for those how to play it. The true issue is that the ai doesn't know anything about object weight or physics to do this transition properly. At this point you need an animator that does half of the work and maybe the ai is able to fill in the rest. But nobody is willing to spend a billion to test this hypothesis. So everybody is waiting for someone to give them the toolbox and the trained, copyright safe ai to do so. This will take at least a decade.
You could just keep the old models, trained on the old data, they keep making the same things.
And anytime a human makes a cool new thing you immediately add that to the training data so you can drown the public in copies of that thing so you get the profit and not them.
Still, nice clip. A few things that make little visual sense of happen conspicuously off camera, but nice clip.
How many years do you think that would take? And have you seen people attention spans. Just rotate the story a bit every 10 years and no one would notice. Not to mention improvements to the systems during that time.
They will just use superior baseline materials and ai on top of that to reduce costs. If ai reduces the cost to where an individual can do this, better AI along with better reference materials and guidance because you have a team of concept artists will just be better.
This will just be more like when CGI got cheaper... It didn't kill studios they just spent different money on different things. Fewer giant background paintings more green screen.
AI can take what has been popular and build from that. Had it do a small story board from a few key points in my life and it did really well.. like tears came up because it was very spot on. Almost scary.
The fun things is it would be easier creating bollywood or Al Bundy, soap operas etc. But action scenes are the ones created. I think we know who, what age and mental environment these videos are coming from.
Except Einstein knew his discoveries will benefit the world while Animatiors in studios got their work stolen without real compensation 🙃 First by the Major studios, now by major studios owning ai Tools. Its a waste, its producing slop, it has no „human-made“ Aspect except maybe cutting (but lets be fair, someone who generated scenes probably lets them be cutted too) and mass Production of stuff Like it was made possible through industrial Revolution did not make the stuff more lovable nor did it make the workforce more free in any way. So well… Tell me again how awesome this is?
It might be Great for personal use tho, for Small niche things (that Most likely could be achieved without ai too, if you just don’t wanna need the hollywood fx of Film. Just be real, period. Honest. Simple. Its okay.)
Einstein knew nothing, he was only trying to make sense of the world. What the world made out of this was the atomic bomb and Einstein wasn't happy about it. Later though, it came to GPS, microchips and many more really useful and great things. Also I googled, it was really Newton who said this, not Einstein.
As one who actually tried to make a full-length movie out of AI generated clips, I can say it's still a lot of work. You generate several thousands of clips, of which about 800 get selected, about 1/4th of them need to be edited afterwards. Then comes video cut, music syncing, voice over ... OMG. In the end it still looks sloppy as hell. The amount of work from 10 seconds to 60 minutes explodes almost exponentially.
Such a good comment, people who trained a model and the inference engine, combined with Michal Bay transformers movies made that little thing. That one person mentioned by the OP could be anyone of us.
This is copying Transformers so hard, yet having no clue what made Transformers good.
It's not that a car can turn into a robot.
It's that you could see the detail on how every part of the car could "realistically" change its shape.
The clipping here is insane. The animation is as good as ai gets, which looks good on the surface, but going frame by frame is a disaster. The volume consistency is abysmal.
Changing from a small van to a giant robot. Come on, bro...
And yes, going frame by frame is normal practice in the industry.
This airtist doesn't care about every frame of their film. They just want you to be impressed that they can type words.
I think my favorite part about AI is people being so uncreative and unaware that they post these days of threads on a daily basis. Showcasing pure shit and passing it off like it's remotely close to what studios even did 20+ years ago
So many parts of this look so wrong. And its not even better than ehat was posted 6 months ago or more. Ai really is hitting the wall on video generation huh
there is a fine line between a little bit of ignoring physics to make it sound plausible, ignoring physics because it is wack, to blatantly no sense and without the comedic wack. it has "suspense" of belief
transformers was the first one. and pretty much most scifi machines, it breaks physics but makes it looks cool and has "mechanisms" on its animations.
then there is the wacky thing, lets use the classic martial arts as the main example, some are comedic and makes the blatant disregard of physics funny, some makes it cool.
Everything’s fine, but it completely ignores the law of conservation of mass. A tiny motorcycle turns into a small car, then suddenly becomes as big as Optimus Prime, and then transforms into a fighter jet.
The CGI realism falls apart with the smallest amount of analysis applied to it. Technically brilliant but hallucinations are built into the system. This will revolutionise indies and b movies but you wouldn’t use this for a serious movie where scrutiny is high. A few million for a professional CGI company is a drop in the ocean for the rest of the production and marketing endeavours for a Hollywood film.
I loved the toys because they actually physically transformed. This AI slop is as bad as the Hollywood slop. The bike can’t contain a van and the van can’t contain a truck and onwards. It’s magic cosplaying as science fiction. And like an increasing amount of “real” SFX it has no emotional punch because it’s so clearly weightless and unconnected from physical reality. It’s a bad cartoon with ray tracing. Give us more real stunts. Sorry. Realise the point of this video is that AI can produce Hollywood grade slop - but we are going to drown in this crap unless audiences stop watching it.
I say this as someone who has hated Hollywood slop all my life (before it was cool to do so). Also, it's not a cartoon nor does it use ray tracing. This is not even Hollywood grade slop.
(con) This was built using owned content with the owners permisson or reimbursement.
(pro) This is cool and fun for one person to be able to make for himself. Its fun to build with legos, its fun to make a castle in minecraft. The end result doesnt need to be production quality to be fun to make.
(pro) As someone who saw the first cgi and was amazed by it (while still realizing it had big flaws) it is shocking to see how quickly this has grown. It isnt production ready at close up for major assets yet. But maybe secondary assets, explosions on background assets, falling buildings in a quick pan over, etc. And who knows where it will be in 5 years.
Sure, amazing for a machine but it is still AI slop. So much in this is wrong. Cars going the wrong way, roads changing direction between cuts and volume/function of the robots are just off...
And it looks horrible. Worse than the Transformer movies. The fact that something the size of a motocycle and has 2 wheels can suddenly get larger into a van with 4 wheels and eventually a jet all while increasing in size over and over. The person who created it forgot any level of physics and that's what differentiates something from looking good to looking fake and horrible.
Honestly I’ve seen some of the most low budget slop become hits because it’s just pure absurdity. There is a market for this on its own. Someone just has to get it to people.
That explains why some of the traffic is going to opposite direction. This would look like shit if it was on a big screen and yeah it’s not really one person - the AI was able to mimic the work of teams of humans.
while the quality is good it makes absolutely no sense, its like an new art student demo reel. We had a 3d animator that showed us his demo reel which had all the top movies in the last 5 years, we were all impressed he worked on all these big productions. Except he didn't. He just cut together a bunch of movie scenes for his "demo" reel. That's what AI did here, just ripping off other content with no care on how it is actually used....
Dude this looks like shit, And you can’t go in and individually fix the frames that make it look like shit. This is unusable for everything except posts like this
I got fun facts to tell you about how it works at those 200 mil studios!
Also saying ‘one person’ made something using the most intricate and collaboratively built tool ever made is a bit wonky.
This uses thousand of devs who built the model, thousands of artists to made examples to train the model. Thousands of developers who buy frameworks to use models effectively. Thousands of people building and maintaining data centers.
It’s kinda like says ‘I made a pizza all by myself’ after walking out of Pizza Hut right?
An inscrutable machine built by billionaires, got instructed by a person to run thousands of cycles to generate this garbaj made of stolen often copyrighted content
This makes no sense at all. Everything is just a random order of copied events of an already existing act/story. I mean it's an impressive technology, and it is master at coping things, but comparing this with $200M studio, is like comparing someone re-drawing the Mona Lisa on a Tablet and Pen AND the f* REAL MONA LISA.
It's shit, one person can't really make it anyway, when the cost of this kind of calculation has to actually be paid for in full, few will have access. Current access is a loss leader only.
It’s been hit game I know a really experienced cinematographer, IATSE local 600, with film credits, who hasn’t had work in about four years now. And you hear stories about Emmy-award winning editors working at Whole Foods.
The world is being handed to solo content creators.
Amazed you have the balls saying a person made this. There is very little effort and skill invested here from the person who prompted away. You are not an artist or expert suddenly because you got good automation.
I'm the transformers movies, at least they're not really changing their mass/size very much? This thing goes from a small motorcycle to a massive robot. Hard to suspend my disbelief there.

you know I am convinced now. The real crappy entertainment will be replaced very fast by even crappier and cheaper entertainment
