I think all this stuff is crap. I used to enjoy watching various videos online. I could see remarkable things. Now, anything can be fake and it takes the enjoyment out of it.

I hate it.

Gonna be part of the Great Deception.

I don’t really understand that sentiment tbh.

Movies are fake. Cartoons are fake. Drama series are fake. Even theater is fake, mostly made-up stories. Etc.

Where do you draw the line as to what enables entertainment? Why do we have any of them?

Of course, because stories have meaning and provide an escape from reality. I see this sentiment, e.g. “AI slop is annoying”, but I don’t believe everything is just bad just because it’s made via AI.

In this instance, clearly people enjoyed it. It was good enough for people to open their wallets. If this provided upward mobility in the creator’s lifestyle, I’m encouraged by it - especially if it means Hollyweird loses their grip on pop culture and the types of movies we can watch.

Yes, there’s terrible AI, we’ve all seen it. I’m sure there were pathetic “movies” when film arrived. I await, eagerly, for the first brilliant, fully AI, trilogy. If anyone can create content, then the traditional stranglehold on the industry, by corporate media, is gone.

...that and AI can make some awfully good comedy!
