AI Videos: ******* Psychotic

The reasoning of the iA Writer team about why generative visual content is not as good as it seems at first glance, and why unprofessional use of AI does more harm than good. As an example, the author considered the demo clips of the new sensational neural network Sora, which generates videos.

Thoughts from the article:

  • The generated videos and pictures lack meaning and real emotions. People notice it right away

  • Generative videos can cause a feeling of horror and often resemble psychosis, even with high realism

  • As soon as a person realizes that in front of him is a generated, not a real image, he loses interest

  • People also make mistakes when creating pictures or videos, but it's interesting to watch, unlike computer errors.

  • Generative videos will be produced in such quantities that the initial wow effect will quickly disappear - just as it was with the pictures

  • AI can be beneficial if it is used for professional purposes and in a meaningful way. With thoughtless lazy use, there is a risk of getting low-quality template content.
