stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

"Brilliant. No notes."AI GoreCoca-Cola drew criticism for rolling out an uninspired and lazily AI-generated holiday advertisement this year.The ad is pretty much exactly the kind of insipid corporate sludge you'd expect from AI: predictable, unimaginative and vaguely uncanny.Fortunately, Redditors took matters into their own hands, celebrating tooth-rotting soft drinks with a far more "unhinged" take on Coke's concept.The result harkens back to the glowy days of AI gore, when Will Smith glitchily "eating" a bowl of spaghetti went mega-viral, with unsettling mishmashes of morphing body appendages and explosions. At one point, a polar bear even yeets its offspring into an icy…

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

As America takes stock after Donald Trump’s re-election to the presidency, it’s worth highlighting the AI-generated fake photos, videos and audio shared during the campaign. A slew of fake videos and images shared by Trump and his supporters purported to show his opponent, Kamala Harris, saying or doing things that did not happen in real life. Of particular concern are deepfake videos, which are edited or generated using artificial intelligence (AI) and depict events that didn’t happen. They may appear to depict real people, but the scenarios are entirely fictitious. Microsoft warned in late October that: Russian actors continue to…

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Type text into AI image and video generators, and you’ll often see outputs of unusual, sometimes creepy, pictures. In a way, this is a feature, not a bug, of generative AI.

The tools, such as Midjourney to generate images, Runway and Sora to produce videos, and Luma AI to create 3D objects, are relatively cheap or free to use. They allow filmmakers without access to major studio budgets or soundstages to make imaginative short films for the price of a monthly subscription. I’ve studied these new works…
