Wow this fucking sucks donkey balls
>seething artcuck you're just mad
No, I watched the whole thing and it's just a series of disconnected images with embarrassing cinematography and movement that somehow manages to feel less soulful than ANY other soulless modern commercial actually made by humans. It's also next-level pretentious, like this would suck ass even if all the visuals weren't AI generated.
>embrace the future hur hur
I will when it actually looks good, if they can make AI that actually knows how to make something look like it has life, then I'll shut up.

Professional ai artist/vfx artist here

It probably took them like 10 generations to get it to do that. Sora isn't open to the public, they probably were given access for free. They spent as much as they needed for one, maybe two dudes to run prompts and edit the footage together/edit in after effects. It cost monumentally less to do this commercial than it would to produce something the traditional way and I bet they were even paid to do it by openai for promoting their product.

I was in a mild degree of denial about AI replacing humans for a while, but its obviously happening and it's being adopted way faster than I assumed.

Normies don't care. They will never care. They do not have an eye for detail like you do. The giraffe doesn't need to do anything particularly interesting. If the ad looks passable to normies (it does and will), then it will have been successful, and it will probably be something more companies push for because this ad was likely very cheap to produce.

Pick related is something generated successfully after a single prompt.
This tech is being bankrolled by the richest and most powerful companies in the world at this point. The momentum behind this tech is staggering. It wouldn't be surprising to me if what the AI anon was saying is true.

It's sad Ai is going to literally die in 2 more years.

And unless the evil people want a revolution on their hands, they are going to bend the knee to keep the peace, or all hell will break loose.

I fear a lot of boomers are going to be killed off irl and there's going to be a massive wave of anti tech people taking over, demanding to the return of physical evolutionary advancement until technology is stopped being exploited for evil practices at this point. Like how Christianity held back science for 1000 years, where it will allow for everyone to get caught up with the pros and cons of this technological movement in an appropriate amount of time.

Something about all this AI hype just doesn't sit right with me, and not necessarily in a "integrity of the fine arts" kind of way.
Like, I dunno if anyone else feels this way, but it feels like that despite technology (nominally) "getting better", it feels like the actual performance and quality of end products have just... gotten steadily worse? It's kind of funny, >>144248015 reminds me that Google searches have especially gotten shittier - random results for shit you didn't search for, reverse image searching basically got shot in the back of the head, Google Images in general having this progressively weird thing where the thumbnails of images often aren't matching the actual URL to where they link to. And now AI stuff is starting to creep into basically every Google Image search on top of that Google AI feature resulting in bizarre "information" because of the sources it's trying to sample.
And the "it will only get better thing" especially leaps out at me because video games are probably at their shittiest point in history despite having graphic fidelity out the ass, from unoptimized code to uninspired gameplay and stories. Most CGI movies these days are ridiculously formulaic, even without looking at Disneyslop. Digital tools are better than ever, yet the average anime these days gets mogged by cel animation from the 80s and 90s despite all the tricks that exist now. Graphicsfagging doesn't even particularly work once you hit a certain threshold of detail, to which at that point, what's the marketing angle?
I dunno, for some reason it kind of reminds me of when everything including modern refrigerators started getting connected to wifi for literally no real servicable reason. Am I just crazy? I'm probably just crazy.

I won’t act like I know much about economics, but something about the math isn’t mathing to me - if some jackass with zero self control is just CONSTANTLY generating and uploading tens, even hundreds of images a day, isn’t that literally just bleeding money?

God damn it, I get sick of this shit. Even back at my old job, they were trying to replace us with some automated AI thing (mind you, this was like 7 years ago) that barely worked, solely because it was "hip" and because they wanted to cut more US jobs and use Filipinos as a cheap bandaid for when the AI thing needed help.

Man, I like AI and all but this just smells of TRU trying to claw back some relevancy via "newfangled hip tech" that isn't really ready for this kind of stuff yet.

it'll still mostly look like shit because it'll primarily be used by lazy fucks who only use it to be lazy, both at an amateur level and at the highest levels of "professional," with maybe one or two actually good looking products made by people who want to show off that that it can actually produce something good.

Google (and to a lesser extent the other search engines) are getting anally fucked by:

>manually moving pages up/down the list based on how aligned they are with what the company believes in (coughpoliticscough)

Toys R Us was one of the first big brands to move to Amazon for its online retail. They didn't really die from anything TRU management itself did. Bain Capital (Mitt Romney's company IIRC) bought Toys R Us to sacrifice it, basically they offloaded a bunch of debt from other shit into TRU and then killed it to get a break on the debts. Nu-TRU is basically an undead summon of the old one. The body's there, but it's no longe being controlled by the soul that occupied it previously.

That's the key think most people aren't realizing
if it feels "dreamlike" it's aishit. That's been the single most consistent thing that's came out of Aishit since day one, even back since Will Smith eating pasta, they just up the framerate. Everything still feels "magical" like a dream and it's making me realize people not noticing how unrealistic that is might be the people that cannot image/dream irl. Like all they see is blackness when they close their eyes when imagining things or sleeping, and those are the people AIfags are trying to trick into buying into this.

You can do amazing things with an SLR camera and video editing software. The thing is, you need a creative person to come up with ideas and figure out how to work within your limitations. Some of the best music videos were made on a shoestring budget with a skeleton crew and a good idea. Embracing those limitations and figuring out how to do something amazing anyway will make a much bigger impact than typing bullshit into a prompt and hoping whatever happens to get farted out doesn't fucking suck.

>>144247995
>why won't artists stop seething about it
because better quality rarely wins out over cheaper price. At one point people owned real wood furniture that would be passed down from generation to generation as family heirlooms. When woodworking was common, you could get basic but solid furniture at a good price point. Now everyone owns bullshit from IKEA that won't survive a single apartment move and companies are selling bullshit knocked together with one real piece of wood and plumbers pipe for thousands of dollars. That shit made from particle board is now the new normal even though it sucks ass (and it's not even all that cheap anymore).

What's going to happen is that media is in general just going to get worse as artists are phased out. Creatives lose their income stream, the public gets fed slop, and everyone loses.

Yeah, but that's because you are analyzing it, choosing intentionally to nitpick it because you were specifically told it was AI. ~100% of normalfags would fail to notice any of those issues you mentioned (minus the background being weird), and most 202X content creators would probably fail to notice too.
You're really vastly overestimating people's ability to notice anything, I've seen someone trip on a curb, smash their face bad enough to literally crack their skull, get inspected by EMTs, refuse a trip to the hospital, then trip on the same curb a second time, only saved me me being suspicious of how someone can be that stupid, catching them and cussing them out.

Well, if he's talking about fixing static 2D art, that's a pain too because assuming it's one Anon using AI to fix another Anon's AI art, they'd have to get the same model with most/all of the same settings, the same LoRAs used (if any), plus the same prompt worded the same way, otherwise anything they try to do to fix it wouldn't match.
In some extreme cases, even having a different GPU would prevent the Anon from matching the art, but that's not as common as it used to be, I think.
Even then, like, I've done loads of custom model mixes, and if anyone tried to mimic my outputs to inpaint parts of it to fix it, it's literally impossible because they can't match the model I'm using, the best they'd be able to do is guess, get as close as possible, then use Photoshop to (maybe) finish the rest of the cleanup.

>if some jackass with zero self control is just CONSTANTLY generating and uploading tens, even hundreds of images a day, isn’t that literally just bleeding money?

This is going to work like every tech-bro scheme works. They invade a market with new tech and operate at a loss so the public rushes in and gets hooked. As people use their tech more and more, traditional services are unable to compete and they go out of business. Once the competition is eliminated, they jack the prices up and because people don't have any viable alternatives, they just bend over and take it.

This is the halcyon days, but once society is essentially wholly reliant on the technology, you're going to see it all get locked behind a paywall. At first the price will be low enough that people will be able to justify paying for it and continue using it, but the prices will rise steadily as people view it more and more as a necessary expenditure.

I went in there for the first time in a while a few days ago and there's STILL a massive shelf of unsellable lightyear toys, I think maybe more than last time I looked, they had one thing sitting at the front of the store at a deep discount

That's my fucking point (although I think you misinterpreted what I was calling 'not that cheap anymore'. I was referring to IKEA stuff which has creeped in price over the years). A solid wood bookshelf didn't used to cost a grand or more even accounting for inflation, but real wood furniture is now considered a luxury item. IKEA took over because it was cheap, but as the model goes, once it corners the market and muscles out the competition, the price starts to creep. Now a mostly hollow particle wood desk can cost a couple hundred dollars which, for the shitty materials, is fucking ridiculous.

Even if you are somehow a detached fuck who has no grasp on the technology to even make an opinion it, I cant even imagine how someone like that is gonna even stand this new wave of literal endless trash that are corporate overlords seem so fucking excited to jam down our fucking throats. All this fucking talk about how "This will actually help the little guy out with his small indie project" but all its practical use has literally just been boiled down to just fucking ads. I cant see a future where there isnt a massive backlash to this future. People despise ads already and seeing companies excited to bombard the masses with endless slop is fucking grim man.

It is my art. It wouldn't exist without me. You're just angry because my art is beautiful. I brought it into existence. Me. Much like how a clay sculptor shapes up clay to bring his vision to the world, I use prompts to shape the AI generator to bring my vision to the world. We're one and same.

Existing =/ you made it. Thinking isn't creating. It's thinking. Creating is by the hand, the body. It's directly, not indirect.

TRU is a shell of its former self. How sad.
>>
Soulless as hell.

Its so sad as a /toy/ and /co/ person seeing this.

Theyre trying to milk an empty shell with even less than minimal effort. Its like they slap the toys R us name on an endcap and now they have crap AI... all for what? To sell the same crap on 25% markup?

I'm not a boomer and I want it to end already. My computer trying to predict what I want... my phone trying to pull some crap... social media algorithms out of control. Its all just computers talking to computers with us stuck in middle.

Tech nowadays is just solutions looking for problems that dont exist.

You'd think theyd concentrate on making stuff that helps people live more care free instead of taking the artistic part of life away now.

>TikTok and Youtube shorts catering to people with abominable attention spans
>videos "narrated" by AI or consisting solely of AI voices or including AI animations that hallucinate every half second because people are lazy talentless degenerate fucks who want to make a quick buck
>searching a character on Google or Deviantart means digging through thousands of identical AI images
>TV and video games are trapped in an endless loop of remakes and politicization
I honestly don't know if I'm just getting old and bitter or if something's genuinely not right.

Hello sir.

Love it whenever a person just vanishes because they got covered up and the AI forgot they were there.

The fact that everyone watches videos on their phone Vertically is proof enough that technology has gone to the idiots.

Imagine they just cant rotate their phone.

People used to make fun of people who would shoot video vertically. I remember memes and PSA videos back in the day. That was the norm until apps started really pushing people towards the vertical format. It's more a result of tech company. We were managing the vertical idiots just fine before that.

NTA, but it's given brands reason to pause in the past. It seems stupid, but these metrics matter when brands make decisions based largely on focus testing and numbers.

Do you genuinely believe that AI will just stopped being used and never advance or be integrated into everyday life eventually?
>>
Hello, former toy store.

I own two Geoffrey suits that are re-used as murrsuits.

TRU can suck my dick and his 3'8" giraffe cock.

Most will get defunct and only the shit people genuinely like will stay around, so yes.

So is your existence.

wait so it's probably not just this commercial/ad but the entire movie it's advertising is supposed to have all its scenes be AI?
