Imagine a world where iconic films like Terminator, Dune, or even Shrek never existed... but trailers for them did! 🤔 The Abandoned Films channel on YouTube and Instagram uses AI and Photoshop to create hauntingly beautiful trailers for these "retro movies" that never graced the silver screen. ️ While the AI-generated visuals give them away (think charmingly weird glitches!), these trailers capture the essence of 50s cinema, complete with a booming narrator and stop-motion vibes reminiscent of King Kong and early Godzilla. Sure, the characters might just stare into the distance and morph a bit (extra creepy for The Walking Dead! 😯 ), but these trailers showcase the incredible advancements in AI video generation.

This might seem like a silly thing to post but I admit this does bug me. Last night #60Minutes did a piece on #Nvidia #CEO Jensen Huang. It was very well done and anyone interested in #AI's future and Nvidia's role would find it interesting. But they also talk about a company called #QBrick which uses AI to create incredibly realistic interactive video. "QBrick" is meant to refer to #StanleyKubrick and, of course, they refer to #HAL9000 "going rogue." People who've seen #2001SpaceOdyssey will remember HAL killed 4 of the 5 astronauts and tried to kill the 5th. So people people say "HAL went rogue". No it didn't. I don't know if people forgot the sequel #2010 #TheYearWeMakeContact or maybe they never saw it. But as this clip explains, HAL was told not reveal the true nature of the mission to #Jupiter to the two astronauts who piloting the ship. They thought it was a discovery mission, they were specifically not told about the #monolith. However HAL knew about it and was told to keep it a secret. As HAL's programmer says, "HAL was told to lie" which computers don't know how to do. That put it into a kind of mental breakdown. The reason this bugs me is the lesson doesn't seem to be getting through. The people telling HAL to keep secrets didn't understand what they were messing with (even HAL's programmer wasn't told about HAL's instructions). My point is it's easy to find people today who talk about the dangers of #artificialintelligence. #AI isn't the danger. It's our failing to understand what we've created and how easy it is to unintentionally use it the wrong way. AI is a #tool and it's up to us to learn how to use the tool responsibly. I wasn't able to splice the clip, but the relevant part to my point begins around the two minute mark.

Ever watch a movie and realize you might be smarter than every character on screen? Take “A Quiet Place: Day One,” for instance. Without giving away any spoilers, imagine an AI-powered .50 caliber sentry gun mounted on a boat or helicopter with speakers. The entire plot could have been resolved in 20 minutes. What are some other films where a clever or technological solution could have drastically altered the storyline? I’m curious how intellignece and/or modern innovations could change classic movie plots.

Great insight and detail into session design, planning, and implementation!

I think there is a path for AI in filmmaking. Originally I was highly skeptical of its ability as a rabid consume of movies but then I started seeing the AI generated 1950s adoptions of movies (my favorites are Scream and Robocop). It made me think how a lot of content is rehashing of old content that is no where close to original (I’m looking at you Key West Dalton in the new Road House) or needless sequels (any Disney movie or TV series in the past three-ish years). These investments are proving to not pay out since Disney especially has produced some bombs lately and Warner Bros struggles to find profits while Paramount is in flux. That leaves the odd Netflix series to capture the imagination. However we are still consuming the content. Why not free up the resources to allow creatives to make more focused bets on content they can poor their heart into instead of trying to drain some extra juice from something from the 80s or 90s. Do I trust major studios to take that approach? Hell no because they are beasts but I feel like smaller indie productions and studios could leverage AI to punch outside their weight class while having an AI generated revenue stream while building out prestige from human created content. https://lnkd.in/gYV3g547
