       | 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.

       | 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.

         | I wonder if anyone has tried to replicate a AAA movie scene
         | from a prompt, or it would be interesting to try and do a whole
         | movie. I'd want to see the side by side, but the Only problem
         | is since that movie might be in its training data, it might not
         | make a good test.

           | 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.
