Why should I bother to watch something no one bothered to create?

Where does the line get drawn though.

Does using AI to replace stock footage instantly take the video from being a masterpiece to garbage?

[–] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You can take that line even further,

What if only the intro fanfare was created with AI?

What if only one creature in the film is created with AI and everything else was done using pre-AI tech?

What if certain body parts of that creature were generated with AI, but the rest was then created/merged normally?

What if an overall shape was initially created with AI, but then the artist just used this as a base to start from and spent more time reworking it to their intended vision and no part was left untouched?

What if a green screen was used, and then AI was used to touch up the edges around the subject and the background?

What if AI was used to help brainstorm some ideas by the writer (as in they didn't just copy/paste the output from the LLM)?

I think LLM's are incredibly useful in limited circumstances. But it needs to be on-demand, NOT omnipresent.

For example, I'm learning a bit of C#. I was following a tutorial a few weeks ago that had some code I didn't understand. I spent an hour googling and reading documentation, but found nothing. I headed to ChatGPT and asked it what it meant. It gave a clear, easy to understand explanation.

Unfortunately, the industry is going about this all wrong. Google wants to force Gemini on my Pixel. So I nuked Android. Microsoft silently installed Copilot on my laptop without consent. That laptop is now happily running Linux.

Forcing these tools on people will just alienate people like me. In a way, I'm glad it happened. I'm much more satisfied now that these companies are minimized in my life.

And what do you use now?

[–] Brujones@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I installed Graphene OS. Loving it so far.

The line is drawn where these companies don't make money
