      I saw a TV ad where they AI generated a man sitting at a kitchen counter looking at his phone for about 5 seconds. There was absolutely nothing wild about the scene, just a person sitting there being human. Rather than pay some random real guy a small amount of money, they AI-slopped it. It was thankfully obvious that it was AI, but it just seemed so unnecessary.

        I think you underestimate the cost of shooting a real guy sitting at a table. Casting, lighting, filming, makeup, props, location, color correction all cost money. And I probably forgot about a few things. Film is ridiculously complex.

          You’re downvoted but you’re right. AI slop will never replace the world’s best musicians, artists, writers or actors-but it can definitely replace entry level, unimaginative, stock-footage type stuff. And then the creative arts die from the bottom up. In a few decades the artistic world might look a lot more like how it did centuries ago, with the content makers largely being privileged and connected people because it’s so much harder to work your way up from the bottom.

          Unless the entire ad is AI, most of that stuff will already be paid for the rest of the shoot. So you’re really just paying the extra for the day to add that scene.

          Sorry, no, it was maybe a month or two ago. I think it was for something like insurance or some sort of service.

      It’s all privatised land, no 3rd spaces, awful architecture used to stack tiny homes together and concrete hellscapes. They’ve enshitified outdoors too. Find some grass to touch while It’s still free.

        It’s definitely not all privatized land. Show me where you live and I’ll show you some outdoors to experience.

    The internet is becoming so grossly corporate anyways that if AI is the thing that finally pushes us all back outside maybe it’s ultimately a good thing. There’s only so much recursive enshittification a person can take before they walk away. We really saw the golden age of the internet come and go, sad to see it happen
