This is what happens when you tease something like Sora and forget we're in the middle of an "AI arms race"

It's so funny that we benchmark AI's improvement via prompting Will Smith eating spaghetti 😂

shows grandma with skin crawling around her face :is this real ?

based-on this; when Morpheus ask Neo "what is real?" has aged flawlessly, and is up Googleplex‼️🥶

I'm an electronic music producer and we spectated the same situation in 2000s when $1 billion cost mixing consoles in a special buildings were replaced by $200 cost software at your bedrooms. In a 2010 you had complete symphonic orchestra under your fingertips. And now you have even singing software which sounds extremely natural for just $150 and free LLM which can generate unlimited lyrics in seconds. Yes, lots of jobs will disappear. Some people (who explore new technologies and opportunities) will become very famous which wouldn't be possible for them without these technologies. It's just how nature and the evolution works: people invent new tools and competition becomes more hard. The difference is just in speed of changes. It took a centuries at the ancient times, but it takes just a year at present. It's just a life ...

No way, I got everything right! Who else?

i don't think hollywood is over; hollywood as we know is over

I haven't seen the video yet, but the pianist doesn't wear a ring on his/her left hand but the mirroring image of the hand does.

I remember when the Will Smith spaghetti video had people speechless The generational leaps have been wild Makes you wonder what they aren't showing us.

Most of the AI video generators are slow-mo, so the 2 minutes in reality is 1 minute if you speed it up to normal speed

How cute that people a few years ago were saying actors will soon be obsolete. We're talking about the entire industry being obsolete soon. It just hit me that this may create even more of an echo-chamber effect with ideas and communication. We thought social media was bad. Wait until everyone will be able to create their own Hollywood movie based on their own personalized sense of values, ideals and ethics. I fear nobody is going to adapt and change with the times. Why would you when everyone can create their own reality? Scary scary thought! This is going to fuel isolationalism that probably may lead to even more conflict amongst those that have learned to be uncompromising through this technology.

2025 is about to be wild

The “hollywood is so over” comment finds me quite skeptical and I’ll tell you why: if you knew how many times we have to tweak all the components that go into VFX shots, from modeling to shading, lighting and compositing, not just because they’re not ok, but because they have to match a director’s idea 100% (aka pixel-fuc*ing), you’d realize there is no way this stuff can replace us. There is no way a director, let alone a producer, will be able to make a movie on his own or even with a limited crew, just using AI. There will always be the need for people to enter prompts. So, if anything, this could become an extremely boring job, not nearly as exciting as making vfx shots. And eventually you know what? They’ll ask some compositor to fix the ai errors. And there you go again… making movies (especially blockbusters) is an extremely complicated and laborious art.

i have yet to see ai do much beyond stock footage. When you can prompt human interaction at an emotional level things will become interesting.

I have nearly 100% right. There are always small problems in the AI videos. For example does the hand in the mirror of the Piano sometimes reach out of the mirror. Faces often have glitches that don't feel right. Often reflections are to perfect, like in the spaceship. The only thing that really impressed me was the fireworks.

I knew it was real because of the mole on her chin driving

OpenAI all thought sora would never release because of how good it is but all they did was get their competition to start working on ai videos, they are gonna release it with no limitations at this point because everyone else already has

My goodness! This is going break so many industries if this keeps up.

Hollywood is like that guy whose wife left him for some guy named AI, and he thinks that once she has her fun, she will run back to him, but she never will.

Gymnastics when you fly on your job application

You know what is really frightening for the creative industry? We are only talking around 2 short years and look at the progress we have seen with A.I. If this pace continues or potentially speeds up as we find more useful use cases for this tech, you really have to wonder where A.I. will be in 10 years. The best thing that could have happened to A.I. is the hype train around it that brought it to mass market, that on its own is bringing in a lot of investment, ideas and pushing the tech far more than what we were seeing when it was just an experimental toy in some corporate lab, you have to imagine that as A.I. becomes more useful in more areas, the ideas and investment could go through the roof. Honestly, I pity the fools that think A.I. is just a fad or a bubble ready to burst, and yes, the bubble might deflate somewhat as things calm down, but it's clear as day that A.I. is here to stay and only going to keep rapidly get better, and far more interest and money is going to be thrown at it as A.I. becomes more useful in more areas, in other words, we are only just starting, and that is exciting and scary at the same time. What's really impressed me the most is how much better small open source locally run A.I. models have got, I remember just two years ago, the quality wasn't that great, and even thought there's still work to do, the quality on many of the A.I. models we can run locally on our computers are way better than just two years ago, and I really do wonder, how far can they push the quality for a given size model.

Hollywood isn't over because though the progress might seem fast, the progress in actually controlling generative AI, video in particular is very slow, nearly nonexistent.I think this might be because in a way, AI itself is only responsible for the speed of development of the video quality. People are responsible for its customizability. As far as visual fx technology, if it's not customizable, it doesn't really hold a candle to existing visual effects software. Right now generative video is helpful but it's basically loosely customizable stock footage.

This technology is really impressive and I'm curious to learn more about how these models work, including how they were trained (we cannot forget about the actual artists whose work made these kinds of models possible in the first place!) However, I disagree about how this will change Hollywood and traditional filmmaking in general. What many fail to realize is that the process of making art is just as, if not more important than, the result. They want to go from A to C as fast as possible, that they forget about B. Traditional film-making is deeply rooted in artistic intention and vision. For instance, take music videos, which you pretty frequently in this video. The dance choreography is created by experts with actual intention in mind to match the song's rhythm, lyrics, and the artist's message. In narrative filmmaking, every single character expression, environment, piece of dialogue, keyframe, etc is made with purpose and direction. Directors and cinematographers carefully compose each shot, set designers build environments that help reflect the tone of the scene, and actors will refer to sensitive, personal experiences to better bring out dialogue. Even in animation, every keyframe is deliberately placed to convey even the most nuanced of emotions. Filmmakers and artists in general pour their personal experiences, emotions, and unique perspectives into every aspect of their work. You could argue that using detailed prompts to "direct" the AI is the same as directing a team of actual filmmakers. However, unlike humans, AI lacks personal experiences, emotional attachments, or genuine understanding of the world. It's literally a machine, incapable of drawing from lived experiences or emotional depth to inform its creations. When a director asks an actor to convey a complex emotion, the actor draws from their own life experiences. Generative AI, no matter how sophisticated the prompt, cannot replicate this level of depth of human experience and emotion. And I think portraying the need to hire actors, cinematographers, etc as a bad thing is pretty close-minded. We often forget how beneficial a collaborative environment can be. Working with people who all specialize in various fields allows everyone to pitch in their own ideas, their own experiences, and own spin to the film in a cohesive way. And if you just want to make a film all by yourself, you still can! You don't necessarily need to hire a whole team of people to make good films; there's numerous solo films on KZfaq that rival fully-fledged Hollywood blockbusters. It's more important about whether or not you're willing to learn and put in the work. If you don't want to put in any effort, don't expect a good result. I find the idea of relying entirely on a machine honestly quite sad, especially when you are more than fully capable of learning it yourself. With that being said, AI just seems like a mock-up tool at best. There can definitely be valid use-cases for AI as an ASSISTIVE tool, but outright replacing all artists is simply unrealistic. Even then, a great filmmaker may only need a rough, 15-second storyboard drawing to envision it on the big screen (such as Rian Johnson's infamous Knives Out storyboard drawing!). Also, the last thing I want is to have KZfaq be flooded with automated AI music videos or films made by people who just want to make a quick buck.

I don't believe it will replace traditional film making. These tools will complement existing methods. But they will vanish many jobs in the field of advertising.

At this point, you're being one of my most important sources to AI news! Your commentaries and thoughts about the field are always on point

The first two were pretty easy to tell the sci-fi room was also easy to tell because AI typically likes to move the camera around like that. The girl in the fireplace was easy to tell because AI typically uses the same smile format when creating these kind of images, The concert was actually realistic until the last part were cloud made it look fake. The fakest one of them all was a sunflower girl and the old wrinkly lady. I caught the real ones because I feel like there was some reverse psychology going on and you pick something that would look easier for AI to generate

Hollywood has been in decline for many years, and I think that this could mean it's final end. For far too long, Hollywood has dominated the viewpoints that are presented in society merely because it has access to the massive infrastructure that making films traditionally required. But now that films can be made by anybody with access to a computer, I think we're going to see a much wider variety of films made for many different viewpoints and tastes.

Love how only a few months ago people are saying "ain't no way ai this bad stealing my job" and now here we are....

Finally, we do not need those expensive actors to make superhero movies

Things are going so crazy... In the near future, most people will believe that nothing is real.

Am I the only one who is not interested in closed source AI tools? Kinda tired of paying to create legal training data for such companies. Especially when they do not share research papers. And I must add that to create something actually usable with AI - you need to have actual skills and experience in that field. Good for exploring concepts - bad as final output, and terrible if you need to change even a small detail.

We are a maximum of 12 months from naked eye perfect AI generated video. We are approaching "good enough" video even more rapidly. The biggest threat is to those creatives who make up the most routine parts of the creative craft. Those 60k-75k jobs that are held by the persistantly mediocre are under threat.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="917">15:17</a> lmao this caught me off gaurd

Called it a while ago. Hollywood is toast, everybody will create their own movies at home and share them on youtube or elsewhere.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="66">1:06</a> "And then we have this scene which seems like it is from a sci-fi horror movie. [...] Do you think this is real?" Well I don't live in a sci-fi horror movie... not yet at least. So I guess not?

*I see why you have so many subs, you came in with the sauce. You mentioned all of the websites and how to use em, very detailed for novices. Thanks*

Hollywood will only be over when faces and people are consistent and can be directed. Otherwise this is and immensely powerful tool.

16/17 no way i got the last one wrong :( When you know there is a possibility of an AI generated content its super easy to spot it, but if you just showed me those videos without context i would not be able to tell at all

We are literally months away from being able to create entire movies with AI. Meaning you can personalize them.

I was shocked when he said the second fireworks video was real at first. I was like no way, the smoke and firework patterns are the same on both sides. 🤣😂

You can still tell to a degree with elements of unrealistic or repeated motion . Hair & clothing for example.

They all look like AI other than some landscapes.

To be honest the test at the beginning I just assumed it was going to be another "Which is AI which is Real? Trick question they are all AI"

10/10 those uncanny frames can't fool anybody, I still don´t get why people is afraid of this technology, it got better yeah, but it still has a long way to look real.

For a second there I thought you were identifying every black man eating spaghetti as Will Smith. 😄

Being amazed at first with all this AI video hype, now I am a bit more sceptical. Mostly because those are still single footages. Maybe it can work in some ads where you don't really need to follow any detailed script, just put some random shots in between the frames. And only when there are no people in the scenes, because they still look very "off". But in Holywood? C'mon, let's be real. Producing a movie, a music video, an animation - it is really much more than promting some random videos. You need to have so much more control over the footage. I animated couple of cartoons and can't really see ANY advanteges in using AI. It is really very detailed work, where you hove tons of layers stacked on each other, with many effects, masks, everything is heavily keyframed. So at the moment it is really nothing more than a extended version of stock videos market. Will see how it will develop in next years. For now - just a toy.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="23">0:23</a> - Two guys on the beach merging into one person. A hand with a thumb where the pinky finger should be. "I don't know about you, but this looks pretty real to me"

I like the spot the difference game. Number 16. Hand in reflection has a wedding ring, but the real hand doesn't. AI is imagining a scenario of a spinster serenading herself dreaming she was married 🤔

A lot of those real videos may have been enhanced by programs even if not A.I. generated. Reality has been slipping from us for some time now.

That Luma gymnastics nightmare does look compelling in a way. Imagine if someone took that as reference to create an animation. Would be totally wild.

The thing about AI video is that the image is never not moving. Not that it's *always* moving, but that it's *never not* moving... if that makes sense.

Can't wait for the Terminators who can access anyone's post history and find out if they were an AI hater, then respond accordingly. "Are you @SarahConnor1982, your opinion is wrong!"

One day, it will be hard to determine what is real and what is not real.

We anticipate that a major cinematic release is less than a year away. Hollywood actors and production teams are likely feeling anxious, as traditional filmmaking could become obsolete within the next five years, much like vinyl records and film cameras did.

It is like a party all the time! Because they come up with different themes like: deep tech week, gen AI week, open source week. I have been to Cloudflare, Notion, Gusto, Coinbase, Microsoft reactor, MindsDB, Cleanlabs. And all of them have speakers from Transformers paper like Ilia Polosukshin. Out of them all I want to meet Mira Muratti, marry her and have kids with her! 😂❤

with the examples you gave i got 4 mistakes out of 17, i mistook videos 4 and 5 for being real when they were AI, and videos 9 and 10 for being AI when they were real.

No camera, no artist, no director, no big cost, professional videos can be created by ai. At first, all this may seem very interesting and beneficial. But whoever you said earlier to avoid (camera, director, artist, crew... etc.), it is a community with them that helps the economic and social survival of this earth. If the human is not able to maintain interest and interest in the work being done, then the work will be unpleasant for him, same is the life of the contents created by AI. The way you support ai so much shows your true taste and interest in art. Very difficult. You know how long people will enjoy you and your content, but by then things will have gone out of people's hands.

The reason why ai videos looked so bizarre before was because it was assuming we wanted fourth spatial dimensional objects, not third dimension.

Always remember! It's not what it can do now, it's what it can do in 6 months from now!

There was a glitch in the old wømen when she moved that gave that one away, some others too had something that gave them away but overall these were extremely believable. I’m doubting ppl that say they got them all right, at least if you just watched the videos once.

thank you, i always amaze by your works. beautiful

Well, I just have to acceptthe death of my animation job

ai looks like a mirror into the dream world from the real world

They all felt so off so I got suspicious and guessed they were just all ai

Ai videos tend to have really high quality, almost movie professional levels to them. Thats how i know if something is AI or not, for now. Obviously the options to tone them down is gonna available in the future.

Think the biggest thing you're missing is where are the hooks and controls? Why would anyone use this in any industry without being able to control every aspect of the scene?

The firework one impressed me the most 😂

Trouble with the free AI is the awful wait time, sometimes hours, obviously not useable.

I hope that over time the competition will improve its quality and the prices for generating videos will be lower or the videos will be longer.

Everything about this is evil. There is nothing good about lazy unskilled people gaining instant gratification from generated movies.

I imagine being able to take good but flawed/incomplete movies like David Lynch's Dune, feed it into the AI, then make it look exactly as Lynch intended. People are going to be remixing movies the way they remix songs.

I think movie industry is going to evolve, and not erase jobs but rather let the cream rise to the top. I’d be terrified if I was in a position that wasn’t earned by true talent or skill

i think it would be cheaper to build a agi agent let it use the other gen ai tools and media tools to create final product, instead of hoping single gen ai model to create full length movie at once.

Realistically, I think actual legit music videos could be highly subsidized with AI video by next year. And before the decade is over, individual in-home directors could rival hollywood on the full length movie/TV show front. Regardless of how real individual shots look, for a prolonged movie with multiple shots, scenes and dialogue, you need consistent characters and objects to behave the way you want them to (anything from staging positions in a house to a car chase through a city), having consistent clothes on, in a consistent environment with consistent lighting and consistent camera angles, with at least believable mouth movement for the dialogue. I think it's going to be a while still, but not like decades away, just maybe 3 years or so.

soon KZfaq will have to enforce an AI tag to block the tidal wave of AI videos. I don't mind this stuff but if you are interested in history or self hel pits nearly impossible to avoid it and almost impossible to find human made content.

Hollywood is not over, nothing is, this is a beautiful new technology that humanity is going to use in ways we cannot even imagine yet. Personally I think medical professional and research will be making huge strides which will make a happier and healthier

Not gonna lie, this had the “all of the above” vibe 😂

i could tell nearly immediatly, ai tends to have a morphing/stretch effect to its videos. that being said its gonna get scary good soon

The "high cost," as you pointed out, is relative. A box that could run Adobe Premiere used to run into the thousands. These new tools offer creative capabilities that are several orders of magnitude greater in scope. What all of this will do is GREATLY lower the barrier to entry in the field.

All you have to do is look for inconsistencies, that's how you know it's AI. AI is good at making landscapes, which is harder to tell

With all honesty...YT ate all the quality, the video looks like poop. I've noticed a lot of issues, but the the one that freaked me out is the piano one. If you pause the video, you will notice, that reflected hand is too close to the original hand, so it's not in the reflected space anymore.

all you need to spot difference between AI generated content and real photos, is that AI almost always miss details and logic at back plane, and obviously hands, temporal coherence and quick context switching.

AI doesn't understand the concept of eating and would probably be terrified if it did.

the problem with AI is consistancy in charekter creation. I would be hard to do follow up sceens with exactly the same people that dont look any diffrent, or just have their clothe changed for the next sceen. Also either you go full AI or you just use CGI because u cant really use Tracking in AI yet. So making a background with a realistic forground with camera movement is close to impossible in AI. Also I know you can make realistic 3D models with AI, but they lack quality and the AI has to learn on it, you are better off using photogrametry at that point ans use tracking for making the virtual charekter move, instead of solving AI. If you dont have money AI is ok. But it will get corney really quick and we are far from making movies with a good story and full AI charekters that dont look like ass.

I didn't knew what it was.. but I got almost all of them right... However I know that it will become even better and it won't take long until it's perfected, mindblowing and scary!

The AI videos are pretty easy to pick out for the most part if you know what to look for. There were a few I wasn't sure about and one or two I guessed wrong on, but AI video still has a way to go to be indistinguishable like AI art can be now.

I'm a video editor, got only 2 of those wrong. AI is getting there, but is not there just yet.

I got all right, but to be fair I've worked with image generation models. I think it's not hard to tell them apart if you know what to look for. But the field is still moving fast, I'm not confident I'll be able to say this next year.

shockingly i only got the two concert videos incorrect

This AI learned from existing creative work. If there be no more input from real artists, the end products would be just mirroring the existing stuff. It will look better, but it won' t be new. However, I think AI can become creative when trained properly. What human artists do is also taking existing stuff that they see, modifying it in their mind and projecting it to a canvas so to speak.

Do you think AI will fully replace traditional filmmaking, or will it become a tool to enhance it? Curious about everyone's thoughts!

My answers are all nearly good! 😅 It's the number 5, 8 and 9 that get me, but it's always some small and strange details, but sometimes it's good to pause the footage to analyze the image, as tiny movements that can betray I.A aren't always visible while the image moves

It definitely will change ad and movie creation. It is amazing the improvement in such a short period of time.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="136">2:16</a> Ring in reflection, but not on her actual finger.😋

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="259">4:19</a> clearly AI because the reflection of the hand has a ring, but the hand itself does not have a ring. Often when faces are less perfect, they are real.

Now the AI generated video give away is the hair , smoke and clothes moving like it is going in reverse.

video blew my tiny brain.

Merchant Ivory films were some of the best ever.....good stories about humans, zero special effects

Simply select a book and instruct your TV to create a movie adaptation of it. Specify what elements you want included or excluded and whether the movie is intended for kids or adults. Imagine a movie tailor-made just for you.
