Don't worry, it's a shiny tool at the moment. The electric screwdriver had its wow moment too.

I still haven't found a single person willing to go to the movies, and watch an AI movie. If it wasn't made by a person, there is no 'personal'-ity to it. It's just bland.

Eventually things will slow and slide back to thoughtful first, crapload second.

The last 27 marvel movies might as well have been written by ai, plenty of people have been to see those.

And they've been financially failing as well lately.

I think AI movies (or shorts for that matter, since I am not aware of any feature length movie) currently are not bland, they are simply of very low quality because they are pushing the limits of the current technology. However by the time the technology catches up (might not be as soon as many expect), then nobody will care about them because it will not have personality.

3D movies were a huge shiny new tool for a while too. I hated them. They still exist but its not so in-your-face (pun!) like it was. Like hey we did a remake of the Godfather but in 3D!

I hope AI follows the same path and diminishes. Still available, but only where it make sense.

[ndsipa_pomu]

I share a similar dislike of 3D movies (probably not hate, though) as adding 3d doesn't really add anything to the experience of watching a film. What interests me about films are the acting, the writing, good direction and interesting ideas and adding 3D doesn't make any difference to that. I'd go so far as to say that adding colour to films doesn't really add much either.

AI generated films are almost certainly going to have at best mediocre acting/writing/direction and will almost certainly just recycle ideas. I hope AI films flop so hard that studios end up shunning them.

[Eddy_Viscosity2]

I agree about the 3D not adding anything, but my hate comes from the fact they gave me headaches, so were unwatchable. And for a while it was hard to even find a non-3D showtime.

AI is making some degree of growth in Spotify IIRC.

I feel like a lot of the stuff my nieces listen to are AI music. It's like a hodgepodge of popular songs with little rhyme or reason. Very 'sloppy' but if they like it....

It's hard for me to confirm if they really are AI or not. But I'm willing to bet that (random Roblox game they're interested in today) == heavily AI made. Maybe there's some real human effort here or there but I have heavy suspicions.

Didn't we all start as kids listening to music that is so formulaic that it could as well be AI-generated? A subset of people iteratively refines their music tastes and starts listening everything from bebop to obscure Canadian hardcore bands and will recognize quality in music.

[dragontamer]

I'm not of the opinion that art is dead.

But I am of the opinion that AI slop is displacing a lot of would-be beginner musicians and making it even harder for them to break out.

For better or worse, a lot of beginner artists were relying upon my nieces and their classmates) clicking on their music and sharing them for Spotify $$$.

[thunky]

I'm looking forward to being able to play an endless stream of (background) music that is generated on the fly with my preferences, never to be heard again by anyone unless I hit a button to capture what I last heard. How cool would that be? I'm tired of scouring through volumes of sounds I don't enjoy to find a rare nugget.

[stalfie]

For the past year, I think I've watched more AI generated video content than movies in terms of hours spent. Some of it is quite good (eg. Neuralwiz)! Granted, I watch very few movies, but still, I'd say this kind of counts.

[admissionsguy]

I think I watched more Italian Brainrot than all other video content combined

[throw849494]

Have you seen any recent mainstream movie made by "a person"? "Human made" is not the quality brand most people are looking for today. If authors are mentaly ill and have shitty personality, AI slop will be better.

[scragz]

please don't speak of the mentality I'll like we are subhuman.
