Streaming services are soon going to be like mobile gaming. Literal tons of low effort shit copying off each other so it’s almost impossible to just browse the store and find anything with real quality.

Is it not already that way? Browsing around on (pick any contender) is mostly just b-rate shit to me anyway.

At least its b-rate shit created by real human beings.

I’ve been crawling through Star Trek: The Next Generation on P+. Go old-school and you’ll avoid all this!

Now canceling the show mid-story by Season 2 will be cheaper than ever!

Why only the effects? They could generate the series or movie on demand based on your algorithm recommendations! A great way to cut costs on this nasty expensive storage. (/s)

I’m divided because on one side AI is taking away many jobs that now outputs low quality shit. On the other hand, AI may allow small creators to see their vision become real with tight budgets, specially in countries without a strong movie industry.

Netflix were outputting a lot of low quality shit before AI got involved.

Funny, but ultimately irrelevant to their point, right?

I’m sorry but you’re a clown if you think AI is going to be a tool used to help the little guy. Is like zuckerberg claiming Facebook will help connect and bring us together.

I don’t like to admit it, but it has in my case. Pretty wild calling someone a clown for having a pretty good point/valid concern.

I'm not even surprised, but I'm disappointed.

Does it make it look worse? No? Then it doesn’t matter.
shneancy@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
it sure does matter to all the VFX artists who’s work the AI has been trained on without their consent, and who now aren’t getting hired because the plagiarism machine is cheaper

And we all know that VFX people are already super appreciated and always well-compensated for their work.

Also the damage to our environment. The llms use a bunch of energy and fresh water.

If it doesn’t mean it’s noticeably shitty then don’t care

I mean, they’ve been using “AI” to write scripts for at least a couple of years (Hot Frosty and The Gray Man were obviously not thought nor written by a human, for example), so I guess this was inevitable.
NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 14 hours ago
Wasn’t The Gray Man based on a book? Yeah it was… not good, but is there evidence of AI in the script?
ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 12 hours ago
Well, the only evidence I found at a quick glance is that the movie was released about four months before ChatGPT. And it had been in production since about 2020 which is obviously way before LLMs became a widespread.
So I think that’s a strong case it wasn’t written by AI.
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
“Chat GPT, write the script for a movie lasting about 90 minutes based on ‘The Gray Man’, pronto!”

Glad they are finally cutting costs at least. Will be nice to see the subscription cost finally drop for a change instead of perpetually getting jacked up with no improvements in the service provided. So when does the lower cost subscription start?
