    It's an interesting idea, but he's really overselling it here. You don't have to scrap the idea of a complete and unchanging story, nor is it clever to pretend it's a strange and archaic convention. You can play with your AI toys and maybe even do something good with them, but people are still going to want to watch Coppola's The Godfather, as it is. There's nothing old fashioned or inferior about telling a story, nor is there anything superior or cutting edge about telling it a different way each time.

      a great use of A.I in video I saw a while back was the south park episode generator that makes almost perfect random shows that could have aired and you might not notice. That was clever and this is not. This is a random scene picker that's picking from a bunch of clips, putting them in some random order. If anything it reveals how empty the whole thing is as there's no story to tell, no arcs to follow as in a documentary that might be building to something. This is just random clips. I think youtube has something similar for TV where it just spits random clips forever. And its not generative. that word means something. This is just random but random sounds so basic. Its not arty enough and that sums this garbage up perfectly. its an art piece that has nothing to say except the people making it are so far up their own arses they can't see what even works.

    Films are not images, they’re cuts. Go back and look at Man Ray and Maya Deren. The genius isn’t the image but the cut between images. That’s what made Hitchcock the master and what makes Zone of Interest so powerful, the “not” cut.

  • @kelvinwilson9217

    However, regardless of its millions of iterations of output, there will be many that are closely similar, as the system is dependent on how much data you provide it, so in essence it’s a random generator with a degree of software recognition, which does make it somewhat predictable compared to a real thinking artist make real decisions.

    In the early days of silent movies, there were many different versions of the same film in circulation. So it's not true to say that films were fixed and never changed. Even with the first talkies, there was this habit of shooting the same film in different languages. For example, Laurel & Hardy who couldn't speak any languages and had to learn everything phonetically. So people didn't watch the same films.

    Yeah you can sell us the fun of watching an ever changing movie i get it.
    But you can't maintain a consistent review because only small groups witnessed the same thing.
    So you can't get consistent reviews back that are relevant to something in that movie.
    Because effectively. you didn't sell so much a story.
    you sold a sort of procured timeline of visuals and audios.
    So though that in itself can impress some artistic communities and intellectuals who appreciate
    the work that may had gone into it.
    you couldn't win an award for best story told. for example

    Remember when the whole family used to get together at a certain time to watch the same program together? That's pretty much gone now, and this idea even further divides the viewers. I guess it's interesting as a concept but I don't think it's a viable distribution method for 99.9% of media which heavily relies on word-of-mouth.

    I’m an AI consultant for film and I can tell you this is AI. They can use the word generative and say that this isn’t AI but it’s the very definition of how AI works and how creatives collaborate with AI. I love how they’re using the word generative to make it seem like this isn’t AI because Hollywood has demonized it so much. But don’t be fooled this is exactly how AI works. In fact it’s called generative AI. You give an algorithm a bunch of data and instructions and tell it to go nuts. There’s more to it, but this is just so blatantly AI it’s hilarious.

    The more I see "creatives" surrender to algorithms and generation, the more I start to think "maybe all art is basically disposable garbage". I get that they are trying to emulate Eno's approach, but it is also opening doors and giving passes to other projects and studios to use this method, if the masses just accept it complacently. Rolling dice digitally isn't making art, just pasting together pretty stuff and noise without a heart or soul. Maybe that's all the public really wants.

  • @PhatBoyzClub
    @PhatBoyzClub 12 днів тому

    Excellent this exactly what we need to make "valuable" "rare" art that only people who are there at the moment can tell others about and compare in conversation. It will also combat copy pasting ideas over the net. Only flaw is this is a documentary, this should be an actual full on Hollywood movie with big actors and the "genre" should be generated via crafted scenes unique each time. This is done on a basic level with games like Deus ex1 and making divided.

    random pass is not a new concept. throwing it into film at this stage of the game is just bandwaggoning the public interest and misunderstanding of our current level of 'AI' development. Making a youtube video about it and not outlining the misconceptions and generalisation is crass.

You can’t go back and make them different the next time so it’s stupid.
