With the right prompt and some tweaking afterward, the videos can be ok, so yeah, they might turn out pretty good for motivational videos.

It will unfortunately probably lead to some troubled times ahead before everything settles down.

That's inevitable. It will be in almost everything.

We will see how much people can tell the difference now. I'm pretty sure deep fakes will be used intensively in this year's elections in the US.

> it seems a majority of media being AI made is coming sooner that we think

I believe the majority of articles in mainstream media are written using AI and only brushed here and there by a human.

> If AI can recreate works of art, and add on it using the same art style, making videos from a single image would be easy.

> I think the current best progression would be text to image, then image to video.

One deterrent in this area is the higher processing power needed to create a video rather than text or image. The longer the video, the more complicated it becomes. Even more, the longer the scenes, the higher processing power it is needed, if the AI needs to create the frames coming from an image. I don't see this kind of use case exploding very soon on a large scale due to hardware limitations, where the AI creates scene frames starting from an image.

Another possible deterrent is training the AI to follow a consistent idea over a long series of frames that make up the scene. It's different than generating one image following a particular style. Right now, they are rather rough despite improving the productivity of simple tasks by a lot compared to what it would take a human.

> Text to video might be difficult to use, unless one is able to describe everything perfectly.

It doesn't have to be perfect, but probably the more precise the better.

After only using this program briefly, my impression is that text-to-video is at a stage where human updates post-generation are critical to making the video's message more consistent overall and avoiding awkwardness. And still, a human-made video from someone who knows what they are doing would probably be better at this point.

AI is a field that must be treated with care, and I'm pretty sure it's not always the case. It's the first industrial revolution where the tools will outsmart their makers - humans.

No, we shouldn't forget that. But they are coming. The question is, do we want to know how to use them while we can or be afraid of them?

Thanks.

The first ones that will be disrupted are the commercials because they are shorter and use stock videos or static images intensively.

Before it would affect the movie industry to a great degree, I see something like TV series (with unrelated episodes) or documentaries being targeted because they are shorter per episode.

I am curious once the movie industry centralization is broken, will we be able to find great movies created by unknowns? Or the feeding and trending systems will remain the same?

Yeah, and from what I've seen it's also used to generate deep fakes. The US elections this year will be fun.
