Art is people making stuff, without the people… it’s just stuff.

Why would anyone want to watch AI generated content? What’s the point? I get using AI generation as a tool but if there’s no human intention behind it, just a pure algorithm, why even bother?

Can still be very pretty though. I use it to set scenes and show characters for my dungeons and dragons campaign.

Unpopular opinion: the fact that said stuff matches my style / that I like it is what makes art worth anything to me. Being made by a person or a fish or a machine doesnt matter. It’s the STUFF I want on my wall or the end table, not the fact that it’s tacitly human crafted. Any art I can afford is made by someone who is basically a faceless deal, not someone I know personally (or else the person matters) or someone who is famous (in which the person matters). Ergo… the people don’t typically matter.
Im not going to an insane restaurant to fanboy the chef, I’m going to eat the FOOD. If a machine makes it and every single dish is atomically identical, that’s fine, as long as it’s super tasty.

It’s not like you can learn from it (even if the topic is something you’ll never use like a 2 hour dissertation on heat pumps or a multi-video series on how an old pinball machine uses only relays to calculate scores).
Why yes, I am subscribed to Technology Connections, how could you tell?
SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I love heat pumps I love heat pumps I love heat pumps
(I agree! I do love tech connections. Although I’d argue that knowing how heat pumps work can be quite beneficial ^^ at least in my case)

I have no idea what this vibe is, but I would like to subscribe.

I subscribed to him as well. His Patreon is even better.

I’ve been meaning to add his patreon. I have too many as it is and need to call a bit, but I just feel guilty about it.

Because now there literally will be infinite content for doom scrolling addicts.

There’s an example right in the article.
Historical events portrayed realistically is one.
EighteenthNerd@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Which is the second most scary thing AI can do.
The first is realistic portrayal of faked current events.
breecher@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Although there is nothing realistic about it all. But it satisfies the expectations of someone who doesn’t know anything about history.

I’ve watched some mildly amusing Yeti campfire tutorials that were AI generated.
anachrohack@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Sometimes I’ll watch a video and as soon as I realize the voice is AI generated, I stop watching

This was me once a month but now it’s a few times a day.

Really? I very rarely come across it, and I use YouTube a lot. But when I do come across it I select “don’t recommend channel again” and dislike the video.
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You already clicked. It doesn’t matter anymore.
hikaru755@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Watch time is pretty important on YouTube afaik, initial clocks themselves don’t count for that much
Scrollone@feddit.it 2 months ago
I’ve clicked, but I have an ad-blocker, so… YouTube gained nothing from that.

But why?
Like sure some of the voices are not great but the words being said are the thing I’m interested in and not the person / machine saying the words.
Each to their own and all that, I’m just curious as to why you just stop watching something you were seemingly enjoying.
EighteenthNerd@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Because it’s a sign to me that the content creator is willing to take shortcuts and be lazy. In which case I take the shortcut to being too lazy to watch their “content”.
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
I like to approach things in life with positive intent, so seeing a video with an AI voice to me would make me assume that perhaps they don’t have a great voice or that they have a stammer so so an Ai voice allows them to still make content they want to.
I find that life is a lot better if you assume the best in people rather than assume the worse. And I can tell you that since I’ve taken this approach I’m a much happier person and it’s extremely rare that I give positive intent to someone with bad intentions so worth it for less stress and worrying about things all the time.
Do you think the same of channels that pay someone else to be the face of the channel or is it just Ai voices you have issue with?
anachrohack@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Because it signal to me that the content is low quality and untrustworthy
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
Signals to me that maybe the creator isn’t comfortable with their voice or maybe they can’t speak or have a stutter, but they still have something to say.

If nobody bothered to make it why should anybody bother to watch it?
