I look forward to a day when capabilities like this are trivial and boring to the average person. When my phone (locally) will be able to generate a fully voice acted 24 episode series anime on a whim for a meme with my group chat. It's astounding what we can do now, but will be completely ignorable before we know it, which is equally wild.
Some of the shots are impressive but… Even among these hand-picked examples there’s a plenty of unnatural movement. And it seems like it was trained on the most hyperactive subset of tiktok as it apparently can’t hold a scene for more than 5 seconds.
really coo, but wheres the sound? i'd expect that they'd have built in the sound model since its gonna look like SOTA for video, VEO3 is great for video but the audios what knocks it out of the park
Has the realism of AI already caught on to that of animated CGI movies?
I assume that an expert in CGI can point out obvious flaws in these outputs. But I wonder if it is possible to fix those details by prompting it to change only specific segments.
There is also the question of how much compute/money they are spending per second of output, compared to a high-budget Hollywood CGI.
There is something in motion heavy videos that is making me nauseas/sick in my stomach. Last time I felt this was with first Sora release. It's not as bad as Sora, but its there. Veo 3 didn't gave me these feelings or may be I haven't seen its motion heavy samples.
Does anyone else feels same looking at motion heavy samples of Seedance?
Am i the only one that finds these and all AI video rather underwhelming and more importantly subjectivly not that good? Sure the image quality is nice but nothing about them ever stick with me like countless small projects people make. I just see them and think, thats cool then forget about it forever.
It seems to me they all have subtle "badness" that makes them essentially useless. Quick example on this is the video of "guy sitting on the subway chair" has people passing in front of him even as the camera is about an inch from his face. Unless you are half asleep it is disconnecting in a way that my brain background processing says this is nonsense and I cannot care about it. It seems all AI video has this issue at this time in essentially infinite ways. Meaning I don't think there is any near term solution that will make them viable for production use.
Maybe I'm just old and not suited to this new hyper ADHD style media world.
Like every AI launch demo I've ever seen, the results are unbelievably high quality, but if you take a second to read the prompts they never quite match. Here basically every single example is ignoring a portion of the prompt; sometimes the camera directions, sometimes the atmospheric description, sometimes making up very distinct elements that were not mentioned at all. People talk about "AI slop" because these models are really good when you just want "content" and you don't really care exactly what it looks like, but if you are trying to produce something specific, which you are in every real-world use case I can think of, it is very frustrating and often impossible to get there.
People are already way too easy to get to believe conspiracy theories. Shit like Pizzagate or whatever is only going to get more common when bad people start making, "and look, here's the video proof!"
And we've already got Tiktok and Youtube Shorts just pumping the dopamine centers in the brain for short form content. Generating shit you like dynamically is going to be an addictive nightmare. The moment it gets monetized we're going to see the equivalent of slot machines pumped at us from every channel -- flashing lights and emotional tugs to get us to part with our valuable money or attention.
And that's to say nothing of the impact these tools have on artists and creative people or the costs to train and deploy these tools.
We're already seeing it today. The amount of 'footage' about LA right now that's showing some sort of war zone that is clearly AI generated, but being consumed as if it was real is staggering.
Decent 1080p quality. Not bluray level, but getting close. Definitely ahead of every other video generator.
Video production just got a lot cheaper and requires very few skills. This is basically destroying the creative video production industry (ads, product videography, youtube content of all kinds) and probably VFX industry as well.
I feel so bad for the next generation who will never have watched man made movies, they will not be able to tell whether something is junk or not because there will be no baseline.
Only light skinned people on the video examples.
Ethnic diversity and accuracy used to be a problem with the models of the past. I wonder how the model would excel at prompts grokking at that.

As you scroll, it learns what you like and generates more videos.
