So...an amusing toy, but not, I would say, worth the economic, environmental, and social costs quite yet. Or possibly ever. I don't have an issue with creative tools, but only when their benefits outweigh their drawbacks.

Shooting Brontosaurs on Earth-967
I used some free credits that came with my Photoshop subscription (grrrr, subscription models) to generate this eight second video of me photographing dinosaurs from a helicopter.
I gave Firefly this real image of me in a helicopter as a starting point and simply prompted it thusly: A combat photographer flying in a helicopter over a verdant jungle photographs dinosaurs. It took about two minutes to generate the clip.

Yes, but... the 100 Things You Wish You Could See In Movies! Once you prompt this, it's the end of the world anyways. I'm a bit surprised you didn't choose one of those. #54: Bald Man Escapes A Burning Passenger Jet On The Tarmac By Going Feet-First Down The Emergency Slide, Landing Forcefully On A Unicycle That Has No Seat. Things like that. Although AI still seems squeamish about Evil Dead II levels of violence, which is perhaps a saving grace. Without a body, the computer mind cannot comprehend "Give me back my handddd!!!"
ReplyDeleteI apologize for not remembering what the real #54 is, by the way. I'm sure it's something that would strangulate the AI and thus save the world.
I'm sure #54 has some sort of act of violence against bald people.
