The people who love using Gen AI want easy shiny things, they want every area of every image to have detail, they want to use all those shots that they pumped their prompts and cash into, regardless of how well it serves the story.

This isn't compatible with the kind of measured, thoughtful approach to storytelling that makes a good film.

"Tough road ahead" as if there is even is a road ahead.

Cost the same a regular movie, used up a lot more power and water than a human-generated movie would have, and failed in a market that historically watches just about anytihing.

The FUTURE!

I'm sure grok's odyssey movie will be a huge hit /s

my fear is that this is only because AI videos look like uninspired trash.

So only the people who like it are people with zero taste, resulting in a shitty movie.

My fear is that it's temporary, that in a few years AI video would be indistinguishable from artist made one, and by then, I don't know what will happen with movies

How the fuck did they spend $1.5M on an entirely AI movie?

entirely ai generated

Why would I want to watch someone else's slop? I can prompt slop well enough myself, and it will be more interesting to me because it's my characters in my setting and my plot.

So yeah, no wonder it flopped. They literally advertised it as having zero creative passion behind it.

There is no tough road, we just dont want it.

AI is like duping / hacking in items in a video game. Its just not the same as earning it yourself. When we watch a video that is clearly AI we know its an amalgamation of stolen material from real humans who you could have just hired.

I was learning about that math problem AI "solved" recently (the one about fluid dynamics). It was so on brand for AI to swoop in at the end and solve the problem on the backs of every piece of research that came before it and then claim the win as if it earned its spot at the proverbial podium.

Who is funding this shit?

I hope that in the future, we look back at "the world's first fully AI generated [X]" with the same kind of attitude how we look back at UFOlogists who kept saying "probably the most well-documented UFO encounter in history." (...they say that about all of them)

$181k scammed from victims.

They'd have to pay me, by the minute, to watch AI slop.

I love good news.

If you thought this was a good idea, I'm glad that you lost your job.

1.5m now, how much cheaper in 5 years?
