He won’t listen. The only way to get them is through the pocketbook, don’t go to any AI slop movies.
I’m sure I won’t be tempted. It’s damn hard to get me into a theater these days as it is.
This shit’s just sad. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
This is absolutely foul and should be denounced. Holy shit what trash. This dude doesn’t have a creative bone in his body.
TLDW? bald denier fuck tells world his ai slop is amazing, its not, and AI created to reduce/remove/simplify artistic jobs will somehow not remove or reduce said jobs. because ai star wars slopp is what we alllllll want. oh and no real voice actors… or actors for that matter. sign here, and here. and by reading this comment aloud disney now owns the rights to your voice/likeness in perpetuity. yada yada yada
also over 10k dislikes for those without the addon
I think this speaker was fair in following up the video, which he made very clear was just a demo for getting ideas, with the notion that real artists are still needed.
The gen AI stuff we have now is only going to get better. Think about early CGI stuff like Toy Story and then think about Avatar. People are going to use these tools to create things, it won’t replace creativity, yet.
Everybody chill and enjoy the ride you old farts.
this is the same stupid fucking argument people made about horse armor
may you get the future you are hoping for
That’s a deep cut. And lots of profanity. Makes you sound more legit.
Didn’t say I was hoping for anything. That’s some projection. Just saying it’s a moving train that you’re not stopping.
What would you rather happen right now? Destroy all AI code ever written. Make laws to ban the use of gen AI?
Fuck you, profanity can make you sound completely legitimate. Can you not spell? Your opinion obviously has no weight since you can’t finish the word legitimate. See how your argument works?
AI as it is now is theft. You should be pissed at the state it is in now. People work hard just to have their shit stolen. Get. Fucking. mad.

“Instead if attempting to divert the train or make regulations to make the train safer, enjoy the ride as it squashes the bodies on the track.”
Or how about a third option? Make it illegal to train your bullshit AI on other people’s work without consent. That would be great.
Quit being apathetic.
if you want respectful engagement don’t start off being a little twat
as to what I personally want?
I don’t even disagree in principle, ai is here and it’s not going away
what should happen is strong worker unions and regulation preventing the race to the bottom
we’re not getting any of it but you can keep your mouth shut
I think were getting a little to quick to the trigger in shitting on AI. I dont see any problem in what I saw watching the Ted talk. I didn’t watch every minute of it but what I saw for what the article is calling AI slop seemed like viable use of AI to create fictional creatures.
This is ILM, though, considering what they’ve accomplished in the past with hands-on tools, for the current chief creative officer to embrace AI so wholeheartedly, and for the result to just be “animal crossed with animal”, it’s pretty disappointing
Seriously the AI generated creatures were weak bullshit. Maybe they mostly looked good, but none of them evoked anything actually alien, which was the supposed point.
From the perspective of a person from this very industry - the examples are at a level of a 10-yo. And the execution is absolutely terrible, even not conisdering it’s from ILM.
Might look like any other “CGI” to people from outside the industry, but it absolutely is slop.
Well it either shows how meaningless your job is or that a 10 year old could do your job if the avg viewer thinks everything he showed looked as good as any other graphics out there. Good luck with your whole pretentious artist shtick, hope it serves you well while youre serving bud lights and mixed drinks at whatever bar you be working at after AI replaces you!
So you sitting there in your cozy armchair know better than somebody in the industry?
Come on, don’t be an asshole.
Yeah what do I know…

Don’t forget to claim your state’s minimum for tips serving gin and tonics🍻
You can make your point without being an asshole about it.
not even sure his links counter the prior posts argument
seems like business leader bullshit promoting shit work because minimum cost is all they care about
There it is.
Sorry to inform you that you’re evidently not an average viewer. More like a subpar viewer, a cretin if you will.
Watched the whole thing. He had some valid points, especially where full permission from the talent is concerned. The “field guide” models were pretty uninspired, but they did a good job showcasing what is possible.
I have mixed feelings. Using AI responsibly is the ideal goal, but we have seen that this is largely not going to be the case both now and moving forward.
new technology is never used responsibly
business owners only care about minimizing costs and cornering control of new tech
history is full of examples
look at the industrial revolution, the tech will win but society isnt better in all ways
and this really isnt looking star treck so much as black mirror
look at the genetic testing fad, it was mostly a scam.
It’s crazy how it sometimes feels like it’s no longer enough to simply not like something - instead, one has to make actively hating it a part of their identity. People get conditioned to be triggered by certain keywords, and it doesn’t seem to matter what is said afterward or what the nuances of the particular case are - they’ve already decided how to react.
what nuance?
these are rich fucks shitting up another industry for profit at the cost of quality and talent
no one is mad a currently talented artists using ai to help create quality work (instead it is usually obvious slop) or people fucking around with ai personal use (instead fuckers try to pretend they ‘created’ something)
people are just tired of ai slop filling up the already dead internet with even more bot level trash
If what they are creating is like the thumbnail, they’re doing it wrong.
I’m more sick of hearing “slop slop slop slop slop” than I am of hearing about AI at this point. People sling slop around like it’s some sort of brave, heroic, destructive insult, leaving AI users in tears and shambles in its wake. Ironic considering a complaint against AI is that it regurgitates the same characteristic bit of content over and over again mindlessly. But even ChatGPT would have the writing skill to cycle in some other adjectives, my goodness.
Completely agreed. AI haters pride themselves on being creative, but they can’t form an original thought on the topic.
I don’t think anyone using the term “slop” thinks it’s brave or leaving anyone else in tears and shambles. I’m fairly certain when folks say they’re tired of AI slop they literally mean they’re tired of AI slop.
You wouldn’t be calling it “slop” if you thought a human made it in photoshop, which means your judgement isn’t actually based on the quality of the image.
What’s the point of calling it “slop”, then? What is “slop” even supposed to mean if it’s not describing quality?
You wouldn’t be calling it “slop” if you thought a human made it in photoshop, which means your judgement isn’t actually based on the quality of the image.
Anyone can write anything on UrbanDictionary. How often do you actually see that term being used?
Are you a native english speaker? Just curious.
Yeeees although I feel like I’m walking into a trap rn
Not a trap, it’s just that “slop” is an english word that has a relevant meaning in this context. It’s not like it’s just made up slang for describing AI stuff.
Oh, yeah, I know. My issue is more about the word being reused so much. Whenever I see a word take off memetically like that I feel like it’s usually accompanied by a lack of deep thought. Almost like a thought-terminating cliche.
Yeah that’s exactly what’s happening.
Look at comments above like
may you get the future you are hoping for
A lot of people aren’t interested in learning about AI as it stands today they’re worried about the future.
They see massive corporations trying to replace artists.
If the output is “good” they might just succeed, if the output is “slop” then they can dream of a market solution where consumers band together to look at AI ads/art as lazy and artists get to keep their jobs.
If someone hates AI because of power politics, they’re not trying to speak objectively about it, because that objectivity is perceived to support the tech billionaires who are trying to push AI so hard.
