Imagine re-enacting the battle of little big horn from historic archives, from several angles .. my point is, imagine how it will affect people to learn about history this way?
My layman's opinion is that this could be a very good thing. As the guest said, it could open up opportunities for more people to bring their creativity to life. Maybe, we will have a proliferation of small studies using AI tools.
This is so tricky. I'm having so much fun using all these tools myself (LLMs, Diffusion Models, Text-to-Voice, Voice Prints, Generative Fill, etc), but there is such a palpable push back, not only with the general public's attitude towards it, but also my own friends, family and colleagues. Ugh. I mean it's not going away, and I'm a creative that must not only enjoy my creative life, but also try and make a living on this stuff. Personally, I wouldn't dare stick my head in the sand, or scream "NoAI!" from the mountaintops--I think we have to learn and adapt, just like we always have as creatives, and as humans. I think once we figure out how to compensate the artists that were used in training, the NoAI folks need to just chill out and accept things. My two cents. If creatives start getting cancelled in the near-future for adopting AI in their workflow, well, you're going to have to cancel most artists I'm afraid, because trust me, all of us will adopt a few of these technologies, even if it's a bit 'hush hush'. I mean what digital artist right now isn't using Firefly? It's one of the best 'tools' in any digital artists kit right now. Thanks for the great conversation.
Yes, there has always been resistance from new technologies or tools. Imagine how graphic designers felt about DTP software and many companies transitioning to in-house work in the late 80s/90s, or portrait painters losing out to photographers as camera use spread (history is littered with such upheavals). There is a liberating moment for those who were locked out from a cost or skill perspective, but also the sense that something is being lost. I posit that this is felt most keenly by those who are resistant to change and altering their workflows. The best and brightest continue and will be helped by these tools, but others will surely cut corners, costs and quality mainly because they can. As the video suggests, as augmentation tools to humans, there is not much that will change at the good end, but the possibility of a lot of rubbish is extremely likely. This is perhaps the thing that will brings us back [away from so much that is synthetic today] to seek the authentic version of human experience, art, knowledge.
"I think once we figure out how to compensate the artists that were used in training" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, sure thing that's going to happen. "the NoAI folks need to just chill out and accept things." even more lol
@@13nibb Look, there's no sense totally stressing yourself out about it. Pick your fights. And unless you have dozens of 'quality' artworks online being used in training, I really don't think you should even be fighting. 'Even more lol' ? Well spoken sir. You are a scholar and a gentleman.
hehe misleading intro i thought the other guy at first was the guy who used it but no its another person in the video lol fun :-) ooh i love the sora music video he did but suprised its not linked on his website i like how he explains about the fast motion on how it was on purpose to try to push it to the limits :-) nice. in any other video model things would SO break apart but yeah sora is solid! nice videos hopefully we'll get more impressions coming soon! sora is the future but i am VERY hyped for runway gen 3 alpha looks awesome too!
I find the argument that this enables art that would never otherwise been made specious. Licensed art is not prohibitively expensive. Sadly this is another VC driven unprofitable business model that will lay waste to legitimate markets before turning into a business model that will charge as much or more for the same resources. Just concentrated in one company making a few insanely rich. Seen this movie( non Sora generated) before.
Extremely balanced, non-sensationalist discussion of AI stuff. THANK YOU

A brilliant, honest and fair interview. Thank you

Paul's Sora videos are my favorite I've seen so far.
5:22 what a brilliant analogy
Dude imagine creating your own fanfiction 🔥

Super interesting to hear that the hallucinations of AI, that other scenarios try to avoid, are helpful for some aspects of film making
Kevin, I think you may be part Italian. Love how you use your hands when you talk. Thanks for another excellent podcast!
All things aside, this is not how I pictured Casey and Kevin to look
Love you guys. 👏👏👏👏👏

Great choice of filmmaker, brilliant and enlightening interview!
I notice the rocket exhaust at one point looks like suds/cotton candy etc moreso than actual exhaust

Computer used to be a job in the '20s, before World War 1. They were armies of mostly women doing manual calculation by hand using pencil & paper.
Chimney sweep used to be a job. A massively employing job.
"Mechanical Turk"
Literally a toddler with super powers
Bunch of white dudes given priority access to storytelling tools. Nice to see things have changed despite Tech’s commitment to diversity & inclusion
You just sound envious.
