Technology

The use of AI in movie production is going to crater the market entirely. Why is a person going to pay big bucks to see something they could make themselves with a few prompts. We are going to wind up with all human made certifications at some point. It's just getting stupid. It makes sense for Perry to hold off a minute honestly tho if I were them I would buy property to hold just in case anyway.

hello I will not be creating art if it does not generate a profit for me personally, the artists I work along side of, are only useful to me so long as I am making a profit. I cannot wait to replace the people who work for and with me with computers.

seriously you're there fucking employer, you're just saying you can't wait to fire them.

you know how you constantly see little reminders of how bad cryptocurrancies are for the environment, blahblahblah, yeah? imagine how much energy goes into generating each chatgpt response, or each 30-60 second AI video, I think I've only seen that mentioned in one article and it was on some independent outlet.

someone create an AI that washes dishes so I dont have to work anymore.

let's see how many fingers mr. Perry will have in his future films 🤣

~~Ah yes, Sora, put out by Google, who definitely hasn't been known to have already done a bunch of very misrepresentative footage on their past AI demos...~~

~~Something tells me when push comes to shove it'll become obvious that though Sora will be cool and revolutionary, it also won't be nearly as big of a deal as they made it look in the demo and folks will notice efforts were made to selectively cherry pick shots that heavily favor the tool, and as soon as you go outside its wheelhouse it starts to struggle.~~

Edit: nevermimd I was very much mistaken!

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Over the past four years, Tyler Perry had been planning an $800 million expansion of his studio in Atlanta, which would have added 12 soundstages to the 330-acre property.

Now, however, those ambitions are on hold — thanks to the rapid developments he’s seeing in the realm of artificial intelligence, including OpenAI’s text-to-video model Sora, which debuted Feb. 15 and stunned observers with its cinematic video outputs.

As a business owner, Perry sees the opportunity in these developments, but as an employer, fellow actor and filmmaker, he also wants to raise in the alarm.

In an interview between shoots on Thursday, Perry explained his concerns about the technology’s impact on labor and why he wants the industry to come together to tackle AI: “There’s got to be some sort of regulations in order to protect us.

After seeing Sora, what are your current feelings about how fast AI technology is moving and how it might affect entertainment in the near term?

I was in the middle of, and have been planning for the last four years, about an $800 million expansion at the studio, which would’ve increased the backlot a tremendous size, we were adding 12 more soundstages.

Everyone shitting on AI so let's put a reality check on it.

Presuming things develop as they do rn, AIs are really good at producing images of high quality and clips of low quality. They are capable of producing music clips of low quality. They are capable of text to speech while simulating specific voices and converting one voice into the other while maintaining pitch and characteristics. They are able to create medium-size texts.

AIs are currently unable to create longer low quality videos or shorter high quality clips. They are unable to create songs. They are unable to create isolated sound design or synthesize voices from scratch. They are unable to create cohesive publications or story scripts.

From what I can tell, there are no indications for AI to replace most creative jobs. The only thing they will replace are jobs that do not require creativity but that do require a lot of repetitive processes. That is a plus in my book.

I think the hype around AI is overblown, but I also think the dystopian outlook on AI is overblown as well.

AI is just a tool. It can be just as good or as bad as anyone who's using it is, and we already have that with the internet itself. I don't think this will completely change our everyday life in a big way, just a few more annoyances in one part of our lives, and a few less in another.

That said, even if it's not world changing, it will be important to get to know how it works, and that's more out of convenience, and less out of necessity.
