AI Video Generation

AI tech in all fields is progressing insanely fast, image, music, voice and now video.



This is making video from text prompts.

Future of this kind of tech is a company like Netflix, where you can create a custom movie made specifically for you. No more big movies, no more movie stars.

The AI can make all the video, create the voices, write the script and make the soundtrack as you want them.

Moore's law is ending, the costs of rendering this amount of data will not be cheap(look at what it costs to render parts of existing movies with strict controls). There's a likelihood that someday in the distant future it will be both quality and affordable, but entire industries won't go easy and it's a stretch to assume it'll end up accessible to consumers.

I don't think cost really matters that much, many companies will happily run at a massive loss to achieve market domination or achieve other goals. Google or Microsoft could happily run these kinds of services at a massive loss and think nothing of it.

The US government will also help these companies to maintain dominance also (even if they pretend to care about jobs to get votes), there is no way the politicians will allow China or some other country to pull ahead.

There are no brakes on this train.

The results of two generations being told since birth how special they are, so now everyone thinks their ideas are good. Artistic gatekeeping of central clearing houses before mass production is not a bad thing, and we're starting to see the effect of everyone is their own promoter, everyone is a producer...and its not a positive thing for the creative arts.

The problem we have now imo is kids have no down time anymore at all (aka they are not allowed to ever be bored), and haven't for many years. So kids (probably anyone under 25 now tbh) are far less likely (by the numbers) to pursue hobbies like writing, drawing, coding or similar things like that in their younger years. The kinds of things we all did when we were younger are far far less common now, cause we didn't have constant novelties to keep us busy that are available today.

This means the quality of pretty much everything is going to be lower across the board now and it's going to get worse and worse with every year that passes, less of the kinds of things that are nurtured in childhood / teenage years that lead to the top tier people who used to be in these types of creative careers.

So you'll have less quality artists, less quality coders, less quality musicians, less good game devs, directors, writers etc.

As such there is a serious drop in the quality of pretty much all industries that rely on kids and teenagers learning to do things when they were younger, being extremely passionate about it and turning it into a career.

You can even see this today, what creative thing can you think of that you can genuinely say is better today than it was 20 or even 10 years ago. Majority of modern games are garbage (at least in the west), movies are laughable garbage, even shows like the rings of power show that had 1 billion in funding is cringe garbage, what writers do you like that are under 25? etc

Given the internet doing that to younger generations and it only going to get worse, you kind of need AI to pull up the slack in the coming years or things are just going to keep getting worse and worse.

From a customer standpoint, AI is going to make things better for us all. Better games, better movies, better music.

Alternatively we can ban kids from the internet, but nobody is really going to do that are they.

I doubt this is even going to make it into ChatGPT at the current £20/month rate. This will cost way more.

Also the avaerage quality of textual and image content in the world is already being degraded by masses of AI spewed content. The same will happen to video. It is no longer believed that training new AI models on AI generated content is a good idea.
