Generative AI is an abomination.

I'm not interested in seeing a video no one cared enough to make

I recently had to ask a friend of mine to just stop copying and pasting rebuttals from ChatGPT when we would have political debates. I just had to tell him that I wanted to talk to "him", not a glorified chatbot and forwarded him to a little opinion page on my personal website where I explain that AI is just a big scam that steals content from other people without attribution.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

absolutely, but so many people have already accepted generative text and images as part of their daily workflow that I have little hope that we’ll reject this.

I want a tool that goes the other way.

I want to take a video and have it condensed into an old shcool blog post. Grab screenshots from the relevant bits, get all of the "welcome to my channel" crap out and write out the relevant bits in text.

I could consume that in a few minutes, search text in it and browse through it.

I'm willing to pay a monthly fee for a service like that if someone creates one - but I'd rather have one running locally (I'd pay for that too)

Sora is a hoax. It's a retrieval mechanism with some crappy GAN mixing. But it fooled the investors out of some serious money.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Pricing on Sora is also pretty bad right now. Currently, their most expensive subscription for 200 USD/month allows you to generate only a single, 20 second long 1080p clip per month. If that's their launch-day pricing, I can imagine how much resources they are burning on one of these short clips.

Just to provide some context here: the title is a little misleading and the video itself wasn’t AI generated. Marques has been skeptical about AI and the hype around it for a long time, he has reviewed multiple garbage AI products and has called them out for it. Actually, his own videos have been stolen to train the model - one of the prompts he tried landed him a result, where the environment was pretty much identical to where he films his content (🤔).

Bro what's up with MKBHD hyping up the most dystopian things possible 😭
in reply to Eugen Rochko

but what really consumes more energy? ai video generation or going 96 in a school zone?
in reply to Eugen Rochko

I wonder if all of this now slop, but eventually "great", AI crap will start pushing people back to using #lynx and the like, or even #gopher. Why bother with images and videos any more when signal-to-noise ratio gets below a certain point.

With browsers we learned to use #adblock and the like, but how to #aiblock?

At this rate the only winning move might be just not to play, and move back to text based tools. Or enjoy your new friends if you never left 🙂
