this looks horrendous and anyone involved should be blacklisted from the industry

Looks like an interesting experiment. Of course it'll still be a little rough at this point, but few more years and more innovation on the field and it'll be interesting to see what they can accomplish.

the one cut of the dead cinematographer? you mean the movie that serves as a love letter to human made art and the trials that artists go through to see their creative vision come to fruition? that one cut of the dead? not ironic at all.

I'd love to know what being a "director" entails within the scope of a completely AI generated film.

Not completely, the scripts weren't created by AI, just the video, audio and music. And you still need a director to realize an intended vision and have all the elements come together in the final output.

Is this one even licensable? Monetizing this shit will just attract lawsuits especially since the video was entirely created using stolen material.

Well, this is inevitable, AI came to stay, so atleast i hope that it gets better because for now its just horrible in comparison to the real thing.

AI isn’t inevitable and this whole thing seems like a scam. More importantly, even if it does come to fruition, it won’t be at all enjoyable or of any value, merit, etc.

If I’m wrong then I’ll give away all my NFTs

The only AI we appreciate around these parts is Skynet and it’s delayed for almost 25 years and counting. On a serious note, I hope this, along w/ other examples, is a wake up call for more animation studios to form or join a union or demand better conditions, pay, protections, accountability, and conduct.

Hmm, looks okay, in a Go-Hands sort of way.

It's amusing that the promotional still for *Grandma Rebito* has too-many-fingers syndrome (I didn't catch excess fingers in the trailer, but they can be easy to miss).

Art students spend a lot of time looking at how masters of their craft make the things they do (just look at the book section in arts supply stores ("Drawing lessons of the old masters", etc.), so I think the plagiarism argument applies only to actual plagiarism, not so much to training.

And if you look at generative AI as a new medium, then the human element remains in selection which of the images to develop and refine.

So, I'm interested in how this medium evolves. I think slapping "AI" on it is neither reason to reject, nor accept the work.

Horrible. Just an insult to real animators that actually work hard to improve their craft.

I hope it's becoming increasingly clear to people that generative AI is just the latest grift that techbros have jumped on after NFTs fell through.

Despite the constant claims of "Sure, it's ugly now, but just wait six months!", it hasn't really fundamentally improved in several years, and that's despite being built on top of the largest case of copyright infringement ever committed.
