Inside is a feature-length movie filmed during the pandemic, definitely worth watching in its entirety if you haven't. It's incredibly creative. I linked the video at the second of three "bits" performed in a single scene. In this scene, he's pretending to be a standup comedian in front of an audience, hence the multiple jokes. Bo actually previously used the pirate joke in The Big Sick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYZ5efCcK_s
I feel this as well (which isn't to say it's true I suppose) about most content, but yes; especially modern movies. It seems like it's nearly all formulaic drivel made to satisfy some algorithm. Of course, it's also possible that's just me getting older - I can imagine some old man making a similar complaint. But I can't help but think there really is something going on.
I recently watched Willem Dafoe in "Inside" and while it's not really a cinematic experience that could be called pleasant, I was actually satisfied at the end of it because it actually felt creative.
If you ask google this same thing, you could still get the wrong answer, what if there's two games called 'inside', or it mistakes 'inside' the game for the Pixar movie of the same name.
Are you telling me you've never googled and gotten shit results, aka unusable stuff? Everything comes back with 100% accuracy?
I mean, I know we need to be more skeptical of the results, but this is also early days. All we need are fact-checking engines that can give some sort of confidence score to results, and that should at least start moving in the right direction.
10 years from now, this will be moot, as the models they will have will be so far advanced we, probably won't even think it's possible or can fathom what it does to disrupt society. To say generative X hasn't disrupted industry already is insane, whether it's art, music, video, text - generative ai is going to only get better and more insane as text to video and voice cloning tech becomes mainstream.
Imagine being self-conscous and wanting to do a youtube channel, so you have a virtual avatar with your own voice do it for you - you just write the script. (This is where I really want the ai tech to shine, as I want to do just this. :))
