Why do they say actress? It’s not human. So it’s not acting. It’s a lifelike animation.

They are doing free marketing for the company who launched this shit.

Wait until her promotional tours to spot the difference

The thing that offputs me most is companies trying to humanize diffusion models and LLMs. Sorry but your graphics cards can't actually read

And why don't they put the name of the creator in the title.. I don't want to have to read this slop to find out who it was.

If it's not supposed to be a replacement for a human being then what the actual fuck is it supposed to be?
My boss did this same exact shit. 'oh, no no, we won't be relying on AI to develop our websites! No no, not at all! You just have to use it to write the code for you! It's not a replacement for a developer, it's just a tool!'
AI freaks are some of the weirdest, dumbest, most maliciously anti-human people on Earth.

Same there, yet suddenly month after "we will not replace you" I had to do all the work older graphic designers did before, because boss felt a bit too comfy about his new ai powers.

My boss will regularly send random, unrelated, unrequested AI videos into the general slack channel, and literally everybody else in the room loves them. It's fucking weird, it feels like being the only grown-up in a nursery sometimes 😂

We had simmilar shit.
Attending univ was a problem for him, but spending whole day on generating random bullshit images for fun was considered a "productive work".

It's not supposed to replace, only provide a cheaper and always willing alternative to bring to any contract negotiation.
If meat actors don't want to adjust to the new reality, megacorps will be FORCED to use this AiCTORS /s

Shit like this would be so fucking cool if it all weren’t being designed in ways that destroy the environment and destroy the lives of working class people.

What is the cool part about this?
YourMomsTrashman@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 346d
Being able to frankenstein together images from descriptions...? These things are fun to experiment with, it's just everything surrounding it (the data theft, data centers, economy, companies pushing it, etc) that has made ""AI"" uncool, a lot of people misunderstanding what it actually is. It could have just stayed pretty neat, I guess

I'm sure this won't make more people objectify women...
lightnsfw@reddthat.com · 1 pts · 346d
They'd be objectifying software in this case. Is it not better to keep them distracted from bothering real women? I'm not pro AI or anything but I would think that is a plus.

"Her"?
MehBlah@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 346d
It. When it start whining about its pay it may get to choose some other pronoun.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable AI porn that'll be made with her.

Will she do her own stunts?
hazl@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 9 pts · 347d
Will Tilly be the first actor to be this universally despised before ever even being cast in a role?

If S1m0ne (from 2002) was scripted properly instead of being boring, it would have been a very good scathing movie about AI actors right on the nose.

As I've written, this is the (arguably messed up) actress pipeline trying to anthropomorphize a tool, an archaic system clinging to life in the face of another grift.
Involving agencies, personifying her, and such helps sell the tool so the end result (to the customer, aka ad makers probably) feels a bit less like Lara Croft selling a Snickers bar.

You know? When you needed a person or persimmon (,thanks autocorrel) to do your makeup for a scene where you fell face first onto a spikey two by four? now it can be done quickly!
Or if you got your period or a bday or want to not do the entire movie, the AI can do it!
