I agree. This is nothing short of magic -- or perhaps 95% of magic. Imagine yourself 5 years ago, and someone from today going back in time and telling you "hey, check this out, in just 5 years you'll be able to write this short text and a computer will generate this movie from it"...

"and nobody is going to watch it because for some reason it feels soulless no matter the output"

Until it gets good enough that you can't tell the difference. It will climb out of the uncanny valley eventually.

it's already good enough, the flat emotional response we have towards ai is that nobody in the screen put any sweat to it

for the time being we've all grown up to value hard work and that's a depth vector we subconsciously consider when watching something, when we watch an AI video it's just pixels, maybe it will change with future generations as what's real and what's not makes no difference

I'm excited that I might actually be able to realize the animated movie I've had in my head for a long time.

Plenty of people will watch it, souls don't exist.

I have never seen a person impressed with the contents of an AI video other than the fact that AI can make the said video.

also > souls don't exist

yes i know, but if you think you're no better than an LLM then why don't you put your personality into a system prompt and spare us the carbon footprint

That's only because you cannot see me.

There are still things I can do much better than AI, making videos just happens not to be one of them.

and your videos would still suck even with AI, what's your point

Yes my videos would suck whether I use AI or not I really don't understand what you are trying to say
