    I mean, I’m as big a ML fans as you’ll find on Lemmy, but this is a slop machine to build some Altman hype.

    A controllable, integrated version as a tool, with augmentations like VACE or SDXLs controlnet would be neat. Thats also great because it’s not so easy for 1 click zero effort automated spam, which is by far Sora’s largest market as is.

    …And guess what. We have that, it’s neat already, it’s open weights, it’s improving, and it’s not so controversial/abused because there’s an actual tiny barrier of entry to using it, like Davinci Resolve vs instagram filters.

        And that’s why Sora sucks, because it’s censored, closed weights, totally opaque, largely toolless, and peddled like spam.

        You can make movies with e-waste tech these days. There is no barrier to entry.

        People who don’t have the drive to make things without AI well never produce anything of value with AI.

            Smart phones record exceptionally high quality video. Free and open source CGI software can be run on older computers.

            People who want to make stuff will find a way to do it.

            Lazy people who want to feel special will generate AI slop.

                And take years to learn how to use well

                Heaven fucking forbid that a person dedicates themself to learning a perfecting a craft. Meanwhile, you sloppers are out here thinking you’re gonna take over the entertainment industry with your, “Yo Sora, make me a movie that’s like Pulp Fiction crossed with Fight Club with supernatural elements.”

                Who cares if people make AI “slop” when there will also be visionaries making mind blowing stuff with AI?

                Because that’s all that it’s good for. Every year it’s, “Oh this is going to be so much better in 6 months, bro. It’ll be able to generate full movies by then, for sure, bro.” And every year it does get better, but it’s still complete and utter garbage. It’s still slop.

                And even if it’s not slop, LLM tech is basically just a repackaged soulless slurry of existing media. Unless there is a fundamental breakthrough in AI tech, it will always be that. LLMs just work that way. It is a limitation of the technology.

                If you can’t see that, then you truly don’t understand what this tech is.
