I'm not trying to supervise you guys. The forum just provides a top-level view and it's laundry day.

The state of photorealistic ai digital movies being generated by prompt was updated courtesy of my friend who moves in those circles daily. Midjourney now allows users to create short animations (they're not photographic cinema since it's computer generated frames and not photographic ones) but as an example see this one:

Generated in 60 seconds and the editing to gif it and loop it somewhat cool took an hour. For a fraction of the $30 monthly subscription fee included absolutely at no upcharge. My friend showed me what artists are doing on Twitter and even after seeing those deepfake politician short videos I commented on, is still unprecedented at least in my short human life and what I've known possible.

Who agrees?

I am skeptical of technology overpromising and under delivering.

Im as confident they wont ever solve all the weird shit that AI does to ever get something indistinguishable from reality out of it, and AI will really just be as impactful as computers were...

...as I am confident that within the next 5 or 7 years we will create an image of god that was spoken about in the bible.

The rate of innovation never ceases to amaze me. But AI is above else an abbreviation and word. I prefer machine learning. To illustrate, there are stories on my feed about bad experiences with people using LLMs and experiencing distress. Is it because they believe the chatbot is intelligent?

Yeah Id say so, they probably are experiencing a Europhilic feeling like they are talking to an angel, or some sci fi predictive computer that is tantamount to one.

Getting answers to questions that mankind could never give them.

I think if/when we get to the point where real people can't win a debate against it, we're going to see some serious shit.

It will be impossible for a machine to win against a man unless you make the man unable to turn off or destroy it. This is my opinion but feels and appears reasonable.

Here's something important I want to contribute. I'm not dictating it out loud so it's not going to sound the same but the logic is the same. There's a quote that I understand dates from around 75 years ago that goes: 'We [are] in an age of atomic giants and ethical infants' and I feel this is becoming less and less the case every single waking moment as I type this and we are here now online in 2025 having a (I hope) discussion and also being civil (so far, again hopefully). Technology is to thank for this (I opine) because the internet never closes or goes to sleep. The sun is shining somewhere on Earth and someone is there is awake and networked. I have faith in a positive future, hazy as it seems to me though I am not claiming to be a prophet, nor clairvoyant, nor know what's going on inside people's heads. But I empathize with real people and the same way that I react when I hear about 'AI psychosis' I do when I imagine some very scared people will inevitably react when someone, a real flesh and blood human being, and someone who cares for them personally, says to them: 'We are all agreed that your idea is crazy. However, it is not crazy enough to be true and thus cannot be believed.'

I think star trek is the future with AI. It has the computer, holodeck, basic income, and awesome science.

Star wars is the future with heavy AI regulation. Droids help menial laborors, we never make any real breakthroughs because we become luddites but we are able to brute force our way through the cosmoses.

Foundation is total AI death. Brutal subjugation of humanity for a small few who'd throw billions of lives away if it were convenient.

Terminator if the anti AI freaks are right.

1 out of 4 isn't hell so I say we go for it.
