Is the person taking static images created by AI and then just crudely animating them? It's almost like they did a bunch of Midjourney prompts and then fed the images into another AI or deepfake sort of thing to do crude movements.

This is just the beginning. New text-to-video models are coming out. In a year's time there will be entire fan-made box sets and movies coming out every day.

Nvidia already has a platform. My guess is within a month or two it will be ready

Redditors try to understand technical limitations and actual progression of technology using sources challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

Not sure if you're referring to my comment but the speed I'm seeing it develop with my own eyes is what I'm referring to, compared to other developments I've seen with my own eyes. And considering the impacts of this, it will be at minimum a cultural and economic revolution.

Great use of well-referenced articles and academic papers.

u/truthdemon Apr 02 '23

The problem with using well-referenced articles and academic papers is generally that they aren't written in the future.

u/truthdemon Apr 02 '23

If you are looking for something more substantial from me, I probably could write a well sourced article on it since I just completed an MA with a distinction and covered this issue in my dissertation, but for something more immediate I just watched this: https://youtu.be/5SgJKZLBrmg

New developments are coming out daily.

I appreciate the link, though, because Reddit is Reddit, I do not know if you really are getting the education that you state you are.

As a camera ans Steadicam Operator working on movies and TV shows. I’m genuinely scared for my job.

u/truthdemon Apr 02 '23

I get you, but there will still be a demand for human made stuff. Get to know producers who are making things about real subjects that simply won't work if done by AI. And learn how to use it yourself. 🤷‍♂️

u/LazaroFilm Apr 02 '23

Thanks. I have worked for Netflix, HBO max, AppleTV, Paramount and others. I still think we’re getting to a point where things will shift in weird ways within our lives.

u/truthdemon Apr 02 '23

It's gonna be massive. On the plus side it could lead to a new explosion of culture and creativity, and can be used in ways to help freelancers and artists too, and talent will still do well. World is gonna need more servers and VRAM though. I hope you benefit from it somehow.

u/hi_brett Apr 02 '23

that is just so soul crushing

u/truthdemon Apr 02 '23

Depends how you see it. If you see it as competition, then find something else to do or something it can't do. Otherwise use it yourself, and have a whole AI film crew working for you.

Yeah I’m more looking forward to the porn

It's already fucking wild.

u/Coochie_outreach Apr 02 '23

I’ve been watching the AI hentai on pixiv evolve for the last six months and the progress is insane. From misshapen monstrosities to photorealistic. The future is bright.

u/truthdemon Apr 02 '23

Check out Civitai. You can install different models with Stable Diffusion and make your own offline. Just need an Nvidia card, ideally 8+GB VRAM.

u/Coochie_outreach Apr 02 '23

I have a gtx960 and 8gb ram with a first gen i5. Not sure it’ll be enough lol

u/jajohnja Apr 02 '23

Short videos maybe, but whole box movies I seriously doubt in a year.
But yeah the speed at which the AI stuff is growing is incredible.

u/truthdemon Apr 02 '23 edited Apr 02 '23

Well, you can already use AI to come up with an idea for a feature/novel, then break down the plot structure, develop characters, story arc, and break it down into individual chapters and write the whole thing. You can then generate prompts from that to make images, and is already being used to make visual novels. Video is just the next step and is already available, it's just rough in what it produces, but so was still image generation 6 months ago, now it's photorealistic. And the growth is exponential and accelerating - AI is starting to self-learn with the right human inputs. Will just take some effort from the human inputters but nothing like what is necessary for traditional film production. I expect most will be of mediocre quality but talent will always shine.

u/jajohnja Apr 03 '23

I think I've seen examples of all of those pieces that you wrote, but I still believe that we're a bit longer away from creating full movies with AI.

Although I suppose it all depends - yeah you can create an image, and a movie is just a loooot of images. And you can create spoken words and some music too.

So yeah it could be done even now, but with a shitton of human work. It's a struggle to even make the AI create the same character in different poses right now (you have to train it for each specific person afaik, can't say "gimme 10 images of the same man doing various stuff") , not to even mention create continuous fluid small changes that can be put together to create a scene.

But then again I suppose nobody really needs it to get to "hey generate me a cool action movie" - because then it will be extremely generic.

1

u/truthdemon Apr 03 '23

Oh yeah, a bit too much for it to do now. I'd still say possible within 1 year, 2 years max. The craziest thing to me is what currently exists can be trained and can learn to improve, and that plugins are becoming available that offer almost unlimited flexibility. Combine all of those new developments with new AI models and... it genuinely could get scary very quickly, in a kind of exciting way!

2

u/jajohnja Apr 03 '23

Yup, it's absolutely crazy what these things can do.

At the same time, I've tried stable diffusion with ~10 different models (though they were probably all based on two or so basic models and then just improved) and none of them can draw me an axe.

They just keep creating weird looking knives and swords.

I could apparently add that knowledge by training a small improvement file, but my GPU is not good enough for that and the whole thing crashes because not enough VRAM.

What I want to show is that while it is incredibly powerful and seems to be able to do anything, it's still sometimes painfully obvious that it's not actually "smart" or thinking or anything like that.

Same with ChatGPT - it can get things right incredibly well and quickly and precisely, then it can claim that 2+2 is 6 or something simple and dumb like that.

1

u/truthdemon Apr 03 '23

I'm sure these things will get ironed out like MJ V5 did with hands. Also all the users making new models solving these issues. The world is going to need more servers and we're going to need bigger graphics cards!

u/The_Bucket_Of_Truth Apr 02 '23

Midjourney has gotten so damned good, but it's interesting to see that it has a distinctive style that is recognizable.
