What I don't like about Pika is the fact that it's a toss of the dice. If the render does not match the prompt, or if the render is just terribly warped out of shape, too bad... so sad you just tossed credits out the window. But with others like Runway, at least you get the free option to choose an appropriate image to use.

The consistent character creation in Midjourney is truly innovative. I've longed for such a feature since before. However, once SORA comes out, it feels like everything will just come to an end. I wonder if there will be many drawbacks, though?😔🙂

why is pika adding new features (that are terrible anyways) before getting the lipsync feature to a decent level? it is already a very unique feature still in the field. if they get it right, it can sky rocket them ahead of competition.

To answer my own question: this option is only available if you're using the Discord desktop app, otherwise you have to enlarge the image and select "copy image address".

Correct! In Discord, you need to make sure the image is already inserted into discord, then click on it to expand, then right click to get the copy link option .

I’d really like to know what you think about the future of filmmaking… if AI takes over, won’t the original works dry up leaving AI constantly remixing and regurgitating the same source material? I honestly can’t see how this can end well, seeing as studios and financiers are always going to opt for the cheapest solutions. Snake eating its tail comes to mind. It’s going to decimate the film industry unless the paying public choose real people and real footage with their wallets. Personally I can’t think of anything more boring and pointless than watching a film made by AI.

@curiousrefuge Ай бұрын

Well, there is room for both (not a zerosum game) right?. For example, like animation, some people believe generative AI will be a subsection. Or, it could be a mix like LiveGen (live action + live generation). We believe ART in all forms will continue to live on and evolve.

@ThePolygonist Ай бұрын

to Midjourney Consistence Character - My question ? What actually is a character ? A human being, an animal or just a simple object ?? What I want to say is, that in an AI based project even non-living things like a ship or a building need a certain consistency. Any experience with Objects or something else in conjunction with --Cref ?

@curiousrefuge Ай бұрын

Good question in terms of the scope. This will require more testing - but I believe the purpose right now of cref is "character" reference for humans.

@ThePolygonist Ай бұрын

@@curiousrefugeThank you. I have tested it in relation to objects and of course it doesn't work. It probably can't work at all yet. But in the end this has to work to let a character move in an environment and interact with things.

OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUD: I do not like your Game of the Week. And you never give the results. You should just give the results at the end of the video (forget the free swag gimmick) or forget the game and just tell us which is which so we can make an informed comparison. Yes, people love free crap, but no one is bringing their friends here because of the GotW. If you really want a give-away (in exchange for comments), just tell people to make a specific comment and you'll pick a random winner, instead of creating stressful secrets for all the rest of your fans. I do otherwise love your channel and Film of the Week and appreciate all your reporting!
