‘It’s over for us’: release of new AI video generator Seedance 2.0 spooks Hollywood

can't wait for the torrent of garbage that will be released upon us

At some point I suppose movies/shows will be generated on demand; "give me a Soviet era spy thriller where the lead character does a lot of fucking".

it's not over for them, they just need to focus on their material being as human and real as possible and the keep slop and too much CGI at bay, at least that's enough for me to stay interested

Poppycock. The reason people watch a movie or TV is because they want to see real people doing real-world things that emotionally move them. And even in the cases where it's a 3D-animated character or all animation, we can feel the humanity of the artistry and the creative talent behind the artifact.

There's actually no proof anyone wants to "watch slop." On the contrary, every time a slop advertisement or short narrative video is posted online, it is roasted into oblivion. The market just isn't there.

Cool, now generate a 2 hour movie with coherent plot, interesting characterisation and fitting cinematography. I mean the fight scene looks impressive I guess, but that's like 0.1% of a movie. It's not about the fight, it's about why they fight

The Motion Picture Association (MPA), the Hollywood trade association, accused ByteDance of “unauthorised use of US copyrighted works on a massive scale”.

ByteDance: "Yeah, so? Not everything needs authorization. We do not need authorization to say that you suck."

We must never forget that the MPAA and RIAA are villain organizations. They do not serve the interests of consumers. They have been enemies of the Internet at large since the Internet.

As much as I hate AI slop, the MPAA deserves zero sympathy.

If I could make it redo wheel of time and it be accurate and good, sure id give it a try.

Every "AI is ending Hollywood" post seems to get this reaction, and yeah the tech is moving fast but studios have survived CGI, streaming, and every other "disruption" panic before. That said if you actually want to mess around with this stuff yourself instead of doom scrolling, there's a pay as you go option at https://vidhapi.app/generate-seedance-2-5 for Seedance 2.5 and https://vidhapi.app/generate-seedance-2-fast for the fast version, no subscription lock in and fewer restrictions than the official tools. Worth poking at before forming an opinion.
