  Have you tripled your billing/salary? Stop being a scab lol

    The opposite, actually, I requested a reduction in hours and pay to work on my own AI stuff.

  Same, I’ve automated alot of my tasks with AI. No way 77% is “hampered” by it.

    I dunno, mishandling of AI can be worse than avoiding it entirely. There’s a middle manager here that runs everything her direct-report copywriter sends through ChatGPT, then sends the response back as a revision. She doesn’t add any context to the prompt, say who the audience is, or use the custom GPT that I made and shared. That copywriter is definitely hampered, but it’s not by AI, really, just run-of-the-mill manager PEBKAC.

      I’m infuriated on their behalf.

    What have you actually replaced/automated with AI?

    source

    • Hackworth@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Voiceover recording, noise reduction, rotoscoping, motion tracking, matte painting, transcription - and there’s a clear path forward to automate rough cuts and integrate all that with digital asset management. I used to do all of those things manually/practically.

        imagine the downvotes coming from the same people that 20 years ago told me digital video would never match the artistry of film.

        They’re right IMO. Practical effects still look and age better than very obvious digital effects. Oh and digital deaging looks like crap. But with what you’re talking about here, that’s always going to remain an opinion battle anyway, because quantifying “artistry” is in and of itself a fool’s errand.

        All the models I’ve used that do TTS/RVC and rotoscoping have definitely not produced professional results.

    A lot of people are keen to hear that AI is bad, though, so the clicks go through on articles like this anyway.

    This may come as a shock to you, but the vast majority of the world does not work in tech.

      I’m not working in tech either. Everyone relying on a computer can use this.

      Also, medicin and radiology are two areas that will benefit from this - especially the patients.

  What do you do, just out of interest?

    Soup to nuts video production.

      Cool, enjoy your entire industry going under thanks to cheap and free software and executives telling their middle managers to just shoot and cut it on their phone.

      Sincerely,

        If something can be effectively automated, why would I want to continue to invest energy into doing it manually? That’s literal busy work.

      Sounds like a very specific fetish

    • Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I don’t know what that is. What is it?

      source

      • Hackworth@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        “Soup to nuts” just means I am responsible for the entirety of the process, from pre-production to post-production. Sometimes that’s like a dozen roles. Sometimes it’s me.
