Are there examples of AI generated content where people like it for something beyond the fact that its AI generated or its a "shocks content"?

Generative AI is cool but the novelty of started to wear off IMHO and when the AI content is looked without the "wow AI made this OMG" glasses, the outputs are blunt and uninteresting.

I've been thinking about this too. I don't know of any such examples.

I guess I've not really seen anything "novel" come out of it. So it's cool that "AI" is remixing the training data , but it's fairly boring 5 minutes after that.

It's not remixing training data. It is actually generating video using a diffusion transformer architecture.

What would the module produce without the training data?

People are already making AI-generated films that rival anything you'll find on television. Here's just one example.

6K view and It’s clearly marketed as AI generated. Is there any clue that people are watching this because of its qualities as a film and not as another demo about “OMG AI will destroy Hollywood next year this time around”?

I don’t believe that the hardship of making content is about it being pretty or resemble something.

No, they aren't.

> Here's just one example.

There are some decent frames in that, but as a film it is atrocious. Heck, even the individual animated clips that are stitched together aren’t particularly good. It does not “rival anything you'll find on television".

Just watched that video.. it's unwatchable. It's basically one still after another. There are way too few animations, i.e things going on..

Great question. We've seen "AI Seinfeld" and nonsensical machine-generated kids' videos on YouTube featured on HN, and the comments are usually in th3 vein of "just think what will be possible in x years".

What, indeed? More grist for the entertainment mill that no human will ever voluntarily sit through?

I honestly thought AI Seinfeld was very entertaining. But only because it was so stupid and predictable and the Twitch chat was hilarious.

The images are great for memes/sh*tposting. These are still curated content though.

Lots and lots of code
Re:Google announced Genie AI can generate platform video games by mrtksn on Thursday February 29, 2024 @09:05AM (#39549426)
Code is not a content though. It is good if it fulfills the intent.

That’s why, at this stage at least, the white collars who execute a methodology as a job are first to be replaced by AI.

Pwrsonally some images from the pure "wallpaper" perspective and the summaries of text are usually great
