None of these are real.

A new and very successful strategy for realistic video is combining the FLUX.1 image model with a good video model (I've been using Runway Gen-3). And then to top that off you can add Live Portrait into the mix and act out the facial expressions or dialogue to graft onto the video... the tools just keep flying in and getting better every single time.

Still think it’s a solution in search of a problem


Ok, scary


I disagree. In many contexts its totally used as a gimmick, but as an editor and filmmaker there is nothing at all questioning in my mind for the value of these. If you've ever done any complicated VFX work you'd know how valuable this is. As a compositing tool this stuff is like fucking magic.


The first video looks fake as a mirror videos would always have the camera aligned and any minute angle change would change the framing.


Much of LLMs shown and how they are proposed aren't working and I think the development direction of them is going to change. Looking at how people *actually* use them vs how everyone said they were going to be used makes me think things will start to shift soon. You aren't entirely wrong with how things are today.


Truly amazing, and highlights the growing need for discernment going forward.


Yeah sure, but 2 years ago, video generation was barely even a thing. Of course they aren't perfect, but the major problems are disappearing at an incredible rate.


there is still, in every one, that wierd unduating effect. super subtle but still there.


The porn industry is shaking.


On top of that we have models that can generate game environments (ie. simulations) from images or video:

No way. You serious Clark? What a trip, it’s so realistic.


But can it do ugly?


All these Korean dramas that I see my mother in law watching on TV all day long...

They are basically nothing more than fashion shows... every scene is just two people standing at some location and talking to each other, with some silly piano music in the background...

This can basically be produced by a single person now, with incredibly beautiful looking people and outrageous fashion.

The script can be written by AI as well and would probably be better than the real dramas.

Crazy times ahead.


Man.  They’ve really gotten good now.


As a deaf lip-reader, the uncanny valley in lip movements for speech comprehension is still obvious. But once that gets improved, gg everyone

But you’re right. We are leaps and bounds from where we were a few years ago. Crazy to think we are just getting started!


Oh the misery.

So children will grow up being exposed to nothing but fake images of physical perfection to which neither they nor their prospective partners can measure up to.

Behavioral change propagandists will indoctrinate prescribed attitudes, behavior and values in the personal lives of consumers (formerly known as people). (admittedly, already happening)

Therefore, megacorps will fuse "AI" fake people, and perhaps robotics, to meet the demand for the perfect partner? The demand which they themselves induced.

Well, perhaps one good thing is that women will no longer complain about been seen merely as sex objects - men won't even see them at all.


“So children will grow up being exposed to nothing but fake images of physical perfection to which neither they nor their prospective partners can measure up to.”

This has been the case for 30+ years already so don’t worry, it won’t be anything new from that context.


Ha ha 💯 this


Madness...so weird that masses are taking this for granted like it's not a biggie.
Part of it is selling them Ai tech not as pure revolution that can benefit them but as a part of their refrigerator set up 🤯.
