| I've been wondering when this day would come, when we'd see an AI
| film that was just a damn good film, without the distraction of
| AI blemishes. This is well written, well directed, well edited,
| just about everything is top notch. The "acting" isn't stellar
| but nor is it bad. This is very impressive and a landmark
| achievement, kudos to you."

| Maybe I'm just detail oriented, but "police" wasn't even
| spelled right on the officer's sparse uniform. That isn't even
| half way into the movie, and by then I'd spotted dozens of
| other weird AI details.
| leakycap wrote:
| This reminded me of Youtube videos that are one stock video after
| another: the emotional moments didn't register as real or have a
| feeling of continuity as the story unfolded.
|
| Amazing, especially for $500 - but this feels like Fiverr Pixar
| to me, even in this advancing state of the art.

| That's what I've noticed: if you reference something real
| that exists in an LLM's training, it will cling onto that
| because it then has something credible to work from.
|
| On the other hand, it is also challenging to accurately
| describe an AAA movie scene in any terms where the AI won't
| then connect the dots to a familiar scene from an AAA movie
| and incorporate those details.

| This video is a great example. Looks great, sounds great, but
| also looks like a really good amateur found a bunch of clips on a
| stock video site and edited them together, probably because stock
| video is a really plentiful source of learning data. The
| interviews look the best, but again, lots of interviews in the
| training data.
|
| When you combine the skill it takes to generate good prompts,
| with the lack of sufficient training data, I'll just say I don't
| think Christopher Nolan has anything to worry about just yet.
| Maybe Wes Anderson does though.

| I don't think Wes Anderson has anything to worry about either,
| it isn't only panning shots in pastel colors.

| At a meta level it is also about LLMs/AI generated content too,
| the twist at the end makes that clear.
