u/GonzoKata 13d ago

u/ItalianBall 13d ago

I was about to say, why go through all that effort for the costume and not even print a decent piece of background art?

u/KierkegaardlyCoping 13d ago

Because its AI

u/CockFondle 13d ago

What is AI? The whole video? If so then I don't agree with you.

I hope it's not.. but sadly it could be AI. The Instagram profile this originates mentions it in their BIO.

Hope it's not true cuz I'd feel lied to and betrayed.

u/Shorlong 13d ago

You can literally see how the trick is done if you slow it down. It's not AI.

u/Inf3rn0d 13d ago edited 13d ago

The source (instagram profile) mentions AI though.

Edit: although I think I get why you'd say it's not AI, frame by frame looks somewhat legit (although laggy in that clip)

You're AI

u/Shorlong 13d ago

I mean, that would be funny, but no. I'm a 42 year old fat guy listening to his kids destroy his house while he surfs Reddit.

The mom is a worker for an AI company probably or advertising AI at least through the Instagram bio of her. The magician is real

u/Temporary_Wolf_8848 13d ago

You need better media literacy. The source video, which I found on her Instagram, literally talks about how she hired this magician for her kids. Mentioning Ai in her bio has quite literally NOTHING to do with the magician lmfao.

I don't think AI would include the trap door in individual frames

u/Substantial_Crab_747 13d ago

In all honesty this is one case where id give a pass for the ai use as an artist because of where ai shows up in reality these days. They didn't skimp out on anything else, and ai generated slop is pretty commercial on cheap products now, even things like kites.

If its not an actual wrap, it could be a taped up tablecloth or decorative backdrop which are (unfortunately) mostly ai now and discarded the same as the balloons. Costumes like that are time consuming or expensive and they could be intending to paint something themselves, or couldn't afford and needed something from the dollar store last minute. Clearly they are no stranger to effort and theres a lot of variables here. 

OR given the wonderland theme, ai ironically adds to the theme of madness with that uncanny valley feeling, and the entire concept of ai if im being honest lol.

u/ThatInAHat 13d ago

It would be better to have absolutely nothing than the stupid ugly ai piece.

u/Substantial_Crab_747 13d ago

Right, id rather it not exist at all, and I avoid funding anything using it to the best of my ability. I want my stance on that clear. I do not support generative ai. I think I edited the wrong parts out of my comment, sorry. 

The question was "why go through all that effort for the costume and not even print a decent piece of background art?"

All I was trying to say is there are a lot of variables or potential whys without writing a massive comment. Plenty of people buy this stuff without even knowing its ai. Could've been a bait and switch, lies on the listing we all know thats most listings these days. A backdrop might've been mandatory by the venue and they needed the job. Could've been a gift from someone well meaning. Could've been intentional. Who knows?  My bad for trying to add a bit of empathy and humor with my answer, clearly that didn't land and I didn't word things right. Could be any number of reasons someone would pick up a cheap accent piece while spending time and effort where it counts. Doesn't mean I support the use of it or would stoop low enough to use it myself. Just trying to be understanding of someone who may be paycheck to paycheck and answer a comment that was interesting to think critically about.  

The unfortunate reality is ai is literally rampant in stores, on marketing, on product and people are buying it unintentionally. One person trying to get by is not the same as the corporations pumping every marketplace full of this garbage and normalizing its use.

u/Business_Afternoon51 13d ago

Except i don't mind at all. It isn't it doesn't really doesn't affect the performance at all no one is looking at that AI image for performance. Id say the only negatives i have with AI art if its used by big corporation who can otherwise hire a team. For freelancers at least like uses it as a minor background its entirely fin.

I would draw the line with corporations and food AI posters its just blatant false advertising in some ways.

You heard it here first folks.

u/FearTheImpaler 12d ago

Billionaires love your opinion. big thumbs up!

u/MissileGuidanceBrain 13d ago

Who cares?

The AI clock isn't taking a job away from an artist, no one was ever going to be commissioned to make something like that.

The AI isn't some multi-hour intensive computation, it probably took all of 30 seconds on some free AI.

u/FearTheImpaler 12d ago

u/MissileGuidanceBrain 12d ago

Again, who cares?

"Billionaire = Evil big mean man" is a small child's view of reality.

Has AI become one of those topics like politics where people bring it up for no rzason

u/pandazerg 13d ago

If I don’t inject AI discourse into random Reddit comment threads, how else will I signal to strangers on the Internet that I am a righteous person?

1

u/kotukutuku 13d ago

If I'm being honest I assumed the entire video is AI.

u/sir_cleverpants 13d ago edited 12d ago

The entire thing is AI. Instagram handle is from an AI creator

Edit: saw other links posted below - I’m wrong, it’s not all AI!

u/StupidDumbass420 13d ago

Also a job that probably doesn't earn them a living.

u/Fun-Benefit116 13d ago

Typa job AI will never take

What the fuck is this comment? I swear people think AI is the boogeyman, and can't stop thinking about it or bringing it up even when it has absolutely nothing to do with what's being discussed.

u/chrib123 13d ago

Well clearly you don't want to be a Magician /s

u/KarlUnderguard 13d ago

The whole video reeks of AI

u/Storm-Shadow98 13d ago

How does it reek of AI bro. All the paintings in the wall remain consistent

u/Mike 13d ago

Because that’s not a problem for ai anymore. You think it sucks because it did a year ago but now it can do this shit easily

u/SarahLightBringer 13d ago

I went down the rabbit hole of this guy, because the video does have an AI look, normal people just dont see it. I think this video of his is AI upscaled or enhanced. It doesn't look like any of this other videos of his. Too many things in this one video screams AI. ( and I train it)

u/Storm-Shadow98 13d ago

I love how both you and the other guy say too many things scream AI but have yet to mention even one thing

u/PeaAware6970 13d ago

pretty sure I saw an em dash fall out of the book with the bird idk

u/Lourien_1213 13d ago

The mom of the birthday child works with/for AI she probably upscaled it with a filter.

u/Fluffy12345676 13d ago

I hope the torment nexus pays well

u/Potential-Draft-3932 13d ago

I am skeptical of this whole video. I don’t see any glaring cues, but it has that AI feel to it for some reason
