| I don't mean to be flippant, and I wish you the best of luck in
| your creative endeavors, but I think the emergence of this sort
| of functionality will solidify the role of professional artists
| in our society. If you compare the work of art school freshmen
| with art school seniors, it's pretty apparent that using tools
| to physically create media is a pretty small part of what they
| learn.
| chefandy wrote:
| And they've been drilled by experienced creative
| professionals full-time for four years. Many of the creative
| controls these generators abstract away are the most
| consequential, and they will never be more than an amalgam of
| what they've already seen. Smooth? Sure. Polished? Yes.
| Visually striking? Absolutely. Will every detail be
| considered, reconsidered, pored over, lightly massaged and
| then reconsidered by a team of people who've dedicated their
| professional lives to using images to elicit precisely
| crafted emotional responses in people? No.
|
| That said, SyFy Originals and Hallmark Channel movies will
| probably operate much differently than they do now.

| My prediction is that within 20 years we'll be making full
| length high quality movies, automatically. Everyone will be a
| production house, in a of themselves. You'll subscribe to
| people's individual streams of movies like we subscribe to
| netflix.

| Why?

| Movies to me are an art of thoughtful composure. A

| unconscious peephole view of the human experience.

| What if I want a tool that will help me with my own
| creativity? I never said I wanted randomly generated AI

| not a cinematographer, actor, editor, or any of those
| things. Why can't I have the augmented intelligence
| assistance I'm looking for? Not sure I understand this
| perspective on technology and tools.

| In which I can make my own movies? I don't have the technical

| films be made like this. I just want tools that I can use,
| myself to make something that I would enjoy and perhaps
| others might enjoy as well.

| You are arguing against a point no one made.

| I'm all for tools to empower deliberate creation. An end to

| watching it other than fascination. There is no conscious

| input.

| A lot of them are pretty extreme and would overwhelm if over-

| videos, or short bits in longer format film.

| Really like it but it feels very sluggish which I assume is due

| optimised format would be enough or a TikTok layout would be
| better suited but it does impact the experience negatively. Love
| the project though.

| Datamoshing is one effect that I don't think I'll ever process

| from my history of downloading videos that had errors which
| produced the effect. Especially back in the slower less-
| reliable internet days, it was always soooo annoying to have
| spent hours downloading something only to have a glitch that
| caused the datamoshing effect. Plus, now all video I ever watch
| is digital, so I'm never totally sure that there wasn't a
| streaming issue or if it was intentional, unless it's being
| used heavily as an effect over and over and I see it enough in
| the same video to realize it's intentional.
