AI VIDEOS: ******* PSYCHOTIC
We lose interest as soon as we realize that what we read never had any intended meaning.
If you believe in the idea that human beings are endowed with a kind of intrisic value that makes us — our “intelligence” — different, than part of what makes writing valuable is the human being who wrote it, not the probability machine that made a word smoothie.
Why should I care on this side when no one cares on the other side?
Also, I like this economic parallel of inflation hitting the digital world:
Technically, crisp, well-made videos are expensive. They take a lot of time. They require a lot of people in the creation process. They cost a lot to produce. They look expensive. The outlook of being able to make technically high-quality videos in just a few seconds is attractive. But foreseeably, the very same inflation that has hit AI images will hit AI video...And then they will start to devalue what is connected to it.
[ai images and video are] like everything cheap and easy, they are losing their creative and economic value at the same pace as they have become ubiquitous
Computer-generated videos impress at first sight, but soon they will follow the development of computer-generated text and images and carry close to zero stylistic, economic, or creative value until they become a liability and will cost more than they add, as they drag everything around them down.
