Thank you. That was majestic!

Wow – stunning! Thank you!

Directed by Erik Wernquist, also known as the creator of the stunningly beautiful and poignant CGI short film "Wanderers": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH3c1QZzRK4

Very soon it would be possible to create such content with much lesser talent I suppose?

- Moving Carl Sagan's Voice - deepfake audio synthesis

- Stunning visuals - Generative AI trained on NASA archives and sci-fi movie footage

- Awe-Inspiring Narrative - GPT trained on Sagan, Ray Bradbury, etc

Once we are there -- I wonder what becomes the new frontier for creative output that makes us say "AI cannot do THIS -- it takes a human"

If someone could get high quality stuff from all these tools, combine it well, and compose the whole video to a similar quality, I would say they would be equally talented. Even if they spent a fraction of the time on it.

It's not unlikely that soon after that happens, the human era as we understand will end. In one way or another.

Yes, I watch this a couple of times a year. It's just beautiful.

I thought they did a really good job in the NOVA The Planets miniseries as well:

which is in general full of some pretty excellent simulations, arranged very aesthetically
