Scary but the acting is on par with a Tommy Wiseau film:

 

[HJuggernaut]

Looks fake as fuck

imagine what it will look like in 10years from now...work in progress buddy

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Man, AI sure struggles with people's gaze.

Impressive nonetheless, but it always feels like they aren't looking at each other. This stuff is going to be amazing for porn

Spoiler: it is

 

[Romulus]

Explain in detail these obvious signs then. Don't retreat from your position with a gif.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I could be playing games with an RTX 5090 but instead thousands of chips are generating these videos.

 

[Lokaum D+]

man, soon ppl ll be making real nasty shit if AI, thats for sure.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Explain in detail

 

[Romulus]

Thought so.

Everytime you call out these "meh it's not that good folks" and ask them to explain they never explain anything.

Testament to the fact it's arrived.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

How soon until Harry Potter like pictures on the wall? I mean like a cheap wifi frame showing moving photos, not hanging up your phone.

20 years ago?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

they never explain anything.

lmao, no one is going to write an essay for you because you can't see it bruv, you'd just wind up arguing anyway making it a complete waste of time, just continue living life thinking these videos are what you see when you look in the mirror.

Maybe hemo memo is willing to do a break-down for you

Something looks off. I can't point it out exactly.

Edit: I mean I could if I did an intensive shot-by-shot, but I'm on my way to work and have a lot to do.

The made up moving photos are already available on the Honor 400 phone. This feature should be broadly available on Android phones by the end of the year. (Apple still working on getting magic erase right, sorry couldn't help myself) it's just a matter of sending them to a digital frame.

Oh now you take the time to respond. No essay needed(and you know better), just break down some of the details.

You could have easily already done that with the time you're responded here and with the gifs, but of course you haven't and won't. You'll probably spend MORE time responding without backing up your original post. Typical.

 

[HRK69]

Holy shit

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

No essay needed

Go through and explain in detail

Explain in detail

Thinking my existing responses equal the amount of time and effort I would need to "Go tHrOuGh aNd eXpLaIn iN DeTaIl" is just pure comedy, if not completely detached from reality, but I guess that explains why you have a hard time believing people find it obvious.

Again, maybe hemo hemo is willing to bend over backwards for you like this, I'm not.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

I don't know how Kojima did it

reads a lot of books about the topic

 

[GoldenEye98]

4 years ago this was all impossible. So yes, it will be more than this. And it will one day be more than just 'impressive'. If we take Veo alone, imagine all those ads you see with random unknown actors. Those all just got a lot cheaper for companies to mak and distribute.

And given it's Google there is a lot of vertical integration potential with this...

Companies might just have to send a prompt/image to Google and they take care of everything....generating the ads...then putting in search/youtube

 

[L*][*N*K]

Looks fake as fuck

It is not a real video, it is generated from a text prompt

Damn you're really proving my point here even more than I expected. If its SO obvious it should be incredibly easy and quick to explain, even in detail. I specifically narrowed it down between 2 instances in the entire video and you're acting like its an essay. Hell, give me something, anything at this point. But with your responses its clear you don't have anything at all, pushing me off on someone else. Makes perfect sense.

Basically where I'm at. Something I can glance at and say, "neat", but that's about it.

I think AI IS capable of some interesting things. But I'm not really sure what it's accomplishing with stuff like this. Especially the weird following that some out there have with wanting it to replace movies, etc. Which is something I don't understand at all.

Marketing, game cutscenes for indies/small teams, YouTube video help (think history video using this to help build some background info) and so on.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

Look at those eyes and facial expressionsThis thing is years away from offering watchable content.

Absolutely not years away.

I'm really looking forward to how this grows.

[Tams]

There should be regulations and laws put into place for this stuff... yesterday.

All those mean nothing if they aren't, or can't be enforced.

 

[ReyBrujo]

The plastic bodies and faces won't detract you from enjoying GTA6, though.

This is absolutely amazing. We jumped from Will Smith eating noodles to this in literally less than half a generation. True, the Karate fight was bad and some models look autistic not looking into their eyes but heck, this looks like clips from any Netflix series. Yes, it looks fake, but someone created it sitting on a chair typing letters without effort.

I kind of pity those doubting this is cool because they will probably be fired because of AI or robots and they didn't even realize how they were in danger to begin with.

To me, 3D visuals with plastic bodies bother me way less because that's the norm in games. Completely different story when its real life visuals.

 

[nikos]

That's some of the most uncanny valley shit I have ever seen. The average person would be fooled though.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

This is day one. If you don't think on day 1200 (there's about 1200 days to the next presidential election) that you'll have seen better versions of this telling you something or other about who to vote for multiple times and that at least one person you know will have been fooled by that, then I think you might need to reassess.

Brah, did you just try and link me to Bluesky?

 

[ReyBrujo]

That's some of the most uncanny valley shit I have ever seen. The average person would be fooled though.

We had elections last Sunday and on Saturday someone released a fake video of a politician leader saying he had decided to withdraw a candidacy to support the governing party. You cannot imagine how many actually believed it was real. And it was fake, any gamer would realize that because they live counting pixels and frames but, for the common people, it was real. I could totally see a series built only with AI, visuals and audio, and people would watch it and enjoy it if it is good regardless of visuals.

 

[Pejo]

Very true, but if there's a threat of jailtime for doing AI video for political/personal gains or other nefarious stuff, it's better than not having anything to dissuade them. Plus, when you DO catch someone, you can make a big example out of them. Without laws or regs, it's up in the air what happens.

Dude its just so obvious! It's obviously obvious! I can't believe you can't tell how obvious it is!!!

I'm looking forward to the day when you can feed A.I a book and it will spit out a high quality movie.

I mean, if the big win is that marketing teams get to make ever more samey and irritating pre-roll trailers for YT, then I guess that's a sort of win, at least in the short term. If you're not employing teams of creatives in the creative side of marketing, you'll end up with a lot of bland ad work, spun up from prompts by some product manager who hasn't a creative bone in their body. The returns will be rapidly diminishing because the cost might go down, but so will the overall efficacy of these campaigns.

For meeting short-term profitability targets, I can definitely see the utility here, but in the long term, you're replacing innovation with iteration and speeding up the brain drain. When you've finally managed to replace all your creative teams with a giant, cheap AI that turns stuff around in minutes rather than weeks, you'll have nothing left but a bunch of middle-aged, middle-class, middle-managers feeding it dull prompts and getting the same iterative dross out the other end. And because it's cheap and easily, they'll make dozens of cheap crap ones, rather spend three or four months putting together something great. The internet, meanwhile, is flooded with all this bland AI content created from the same training data sources, which in turn becomes the training data itself - a sort of information inbreeding that makes everything gradually more dull and unremarkable.

Diminishing returns force product managers to panic and produce even more variants and the situation worsens...

The thing is that we've already seen what happens when algorithms make content, even with human steer: it's bland. Big publishers have been running business on the basis of big data for the last fifteen years and you can already see what that's done: more and more iterative dross informed by business intelligence and data analytics that no matter how pretty or impressive, is repetitive, iterative and fails to draw in audiences. The MCU and DCEU both fell prey to this kind of cultural inbreeding, where brands are creating content that's only ever in conversation with itself based on 'proven' templates, and output is becoming noticeably more malformed and wall-eyed with every new iteration.

Games, in broad brush strokes, are doing the same, relying on an iterative process to force a trend line from 2018 to keep going up and up into infinity, Disco Stu style. It's not working and the games that are blowing up now are the ones that ignore the algorithms and do something that seems right to them: Larian bring back the turn-based CRPG junked by most publishers 20 years ago and create one of the biggest-selling games of the generation. Balatro sells a bajillion copies and scoops up awards for a pixel-art poker roguelike. Clair Obscur mixes old-school FF with Persona and Sekiro and sets it in a fucked up Paris and create the year's most talked-about title. Disco Elysium revives the old-skool point-and-click adventure to create an off-the-wall political drama about an alcoholic cop, sells gangbusters. Helldivers 2 is a tongue-in-cheek send-up of corporate democracy, riffing hard on the work of Paul Verhoven that belongs in some genre all of its own and is Sony's fastest-selling title to date.

Generative AI just doubles down and turbo charges that already failed iterative model and speeds up the much need collapse, turning out twice much of the same shit we're already ignoring at a fraction of the time and they'll sell even less. The real winners in the long-term will be the creatives and the people who enjoy great ideas. The big losers will be shareholders and those bizarre fan boys who flag-wave for mega corps.

Or you'll get a few really creative people churning out massive amounts of content for a much lower overhead and much quicker.

People who are capable of this will be highly paid, while everyone else in the field are nixed. It will just emerge as a new role on game dev teams. Someone that can FULLY utilize the tech.

If the fake news wasn't enough before...

we are fucked

 

[64gigabyteram]

it does look pretty uncanny, but otherwise scarily accurate.

Scammers are gonna have a field day with this technology.

[Zuzu]

It looks good. Incredible technology

2 Minute Papers made a video on VEO3.
IMO, the real magic begins when users start feeding the AI storyboards + model sheets and it spits out the desired scenes. That's going to kill animation as we know, or democratize it, depends on who you ask. Production cost for an 11 to 30 minute episode will be pocket change, for reference a Simpsons episode goes for 5 million dollars, Rick and Morty roughly 1/3 of that.
If google have this now? Imagine what they have cooking for 3D generation behind the scenes.

Youve wasted 3 replies worth of time and effort not to answer. I'm also curious as to how it's so obvious.

lmao, no one is going to write an essay for you because you can't see it bruv, you'd just wind up arguing anyway making it a complete waste of time, just continue living life thinking these videos are what you see when you look in the mirror.

Maybe hemo memo is willing to do a break-down for you

On a second watch, the AI's limitations become obvious. The unnatural movement of the eyes and the jarring slowdowns in the footage instantly expose it. The car show scene is a prime example.

this takes no effort bruv, "going through and explain in detail" would, maybe hemo hemo's post above will point you in the right direction.

Watch the video the guy has some old photos of his mom turned into short video and the crazy thing is those photos weren't even taken on the phone. They're old photos. Sorry was trying to timestamp but I don't know how just skip to 9:00

Literally harry potter animated paints type of shit, wow.

I've wasted nothing, as I said this takes no effort; I've also pointed you to hemo hemo's post but as expected it wasn't good enough.
You're also free to stop quoting me if you think I'm "wasting replies".
