It's an interesting stupid idea.
So it’s not a film it’s random clips that makeup a documentary collage
So like, a scene randomiser? Does the end result even make any coherent sense?
Hey, it worked for the Music Video Industry‼️🤷
It's an interesting idea, but he's really overselling it here. You don't have to scrap the idea of a complete and unchanging story, nor is it clever to pretend it's a strange and archaic convention. You can play with your AI toys and maybe even do something good with them, but people are still going to want to watch Coppola's The Godfather, as it is. There's nothing old fashioned or inferior about telling a story, nor is there anything superior or cutting edge about telling it a different way each time.
a great use of A.I in video I saw a while back was the south park episode generator that makes almost perfect random shows that could have aired and you might not notice. That was clever and this is not. This is a random scene picker that's picking from a bunch of clips, putting them in some random order. If anything it reveals how empty the whole thing is as there's no story to tell, no arcs to follow as in a documentary that might be building to something. This is just random clips. I think youtube has something similar for TV where it just spits random clips forever. And its not generative. that word means something. This is just random but random sounds so basic. Its not arty enough and that sums this garbage up perfectly. its an art piece that has nothing to say except the people making it are so far up their own arses they can't see what even works.
Why would people act on reviews and recommendations if they could not be sure they would get exactly what the reviewer saw?
This comment changes every time somebody reads it
I contribute to the change by adding a comment to it.
Death to the woke
I read this comment twice... and it appeared to be the same both times. I guess I don't understand art.
Wouldn’t we want to all see the same thing so there can be discussions about it without everyone having different experiences?
Wow what a genius no one ever thought of that before.
I don’t think the whole film has as much meaning to it as much weight as much artistic to it if the film isn’t the same for everyone else
However, regardless of its millions of iterations of output, there will be many that are closely similar, as the system is dependent on how much data you provide it, so in essence it’s a random generator with a degree of software recognition, which does make it somewhat predictable compared to a real thinking artist make real decisions.
Regular movies that are lineer are not a technical constrain! That's what unites us humans and creates common colture. You are literally creating technology that devides us.
Ever heard of personalized recommendation systems ?
Films are not images, they’re cuts. Go back and look at Man Ray and Maya Deren. The genius isn’t the image but the cut between images. That’s what made Hitchcock the master and what makes Zone of Interest so powerful, the “not” cut.
Brain is a unicon amongs many
Gimmick. The death rattle of art
What the name of this movie?
An astonishing concept. Plato would have appraised this.
Looking forward to experiencing this!
AMAZING!! I AM SO THERE FOR THIS.
In the early days of silent movies, there were many different versions of the same film in circulation. So it's not true to say that films were fixed and never changed. Even with the first talkies, there was this habit of shooting the same film in different languages. For example, Laurel & Hardy who couldn't speak any languages and had to learn everything phonetically. So people didn't watch the same films.
when is Eno going to be Eno?
Some people will never leave the cinema
Simply awesome
Remember when the whole family used to get together at a certain time to watch the same program together? That's pretty much gone now, and this idea even further divides the viewers. I guess it's interesting as a concept but I don't think it's a viable distribution method for 99.9% of media which heavily relies on word-of-mouth.
I could see movie studios going for something like this combined with A/B-testing to "optimize" a movie (make it more enjoyable over time for the average viewer) over time and to encourage rewatching - at least with with Big Dumb Action Movies.
I wonder what the algorithm is? Obviously not completely random. But contained to a particular topic
The director had one to many shrooms
So, like a range of shrooms?
@@Mantroglodyte Grammar nazis are still around it seems
I’m an AI consultant for film and I can tell you this is AI. They can use the word generative and say that this isn’t AI but it’s the very definition of how AI works and how creatives collaborate with AI. I love how they’re using the word generative to make it seem like this isn’t AI because Hollywood has demonized it so much. But don’t be fooled this is exactly how AI works. In fact it’s called generative AI. You give an algorithm a bunch of data and instructions and tell it to go nuts. There’s more to it, but this is just so blatantly AI it’s hilarious.
I / do / not / exist.
The Terminator franchise
Excellent this exactly what we need to make "valuable" "rare" art that only people who are there at the moment can tell others about and compare in conversation. It will also combat copy pasting ideas over the net. Only flaw is this is a documentary, this should be an actual full on Hollywood movie with big actors and the "genre" should be generated via crafted scenes unique each time. This is done on a basic level with games like Deus ex1 and making divided.

Yeah you can sell us the fun of watching an ever changing movie i get it.
But you can't maintain a consistent review because only small groups witnessed the same thing.
So you can't get consistent reviews back that are relevant to something in that movie.
Because effectively. you didn't sell so much a story.
you sold a sort of procured timeline of visuals and audios.
So though that in itself can impress some artistic communities and intellectuals who appreciate
the work that may had gone into it.
you couldn't win an award for best story told. for example
interesting
The more I see "creatives" surrender to algorithms and generation, the more I start to think "maybe all art is basically disposable garbage". I get that they are trying to emulate Eno's approach, but it is also opening doors and giving passes to other projects and studios to use this method, if the masses just accept it complacently. Rolling dice digitally isn't making art, just pasting together pretty stuff and noise without a heart or soul. Maybe that's all the public really wants.
We need to step away from entertainment, and reengage with Reality.
That'll be the next big step in Film making; real life experience
random pass is not a new concept. throwing it into film at this stage of the game is just bandwaggoning the public interest and misunderstanding of our current level of 'AI' development. Making a youtube video about it and not outlining the misconceptions and generalisation is crass.
Nobody ever said that film an television series has to be linear. NOBODY !
AI is just like a random generator. It’s gonna get boring as a concept pretty quickly.
Ambitious, but in the end rubbish. It's basically a film version of the idents ITV2 used to have back a few years ago.
People are so narrow minded about AI art in these comments and generally on the internet. Generative AI will completely change most art we consume and we will like it. The huge scepticisim about AI and AI art right now is just the natural human tendency to hate new things
Good grief
Vote reform.
Yeah, tv and film _never_ changes.
Strawman, strawman.
/s
One good version is enough. Stupid lazy idea. I wouldn't watch AI generated crap, that's not art to me
Sorry but this is terrible.
Congrats Brian, you invented a swastika
I don’t know how you think people would get excited about it because they’re going to go see a movie, that they will not have a shared understanding with other people that connect you with the experience of watching the movie, that’s not how life is things don’t change. You can’t go back and make them different the next time so it’s stupid.
😅 this is just reality with extra steps... you all making smart people buy dumb things
click bait. It's not a film.
When people wanted original content, it wasn’t this.
This is dumb as heck.
Useless. Anyone can just blink meaningless images forever, you could do this with Internet from the 90s.
Hard pass
My movie town from 1944 is better. 🎥🎥🎥
Hmm men plant trees they know they wont sit under. This, well, this is a kind of hell of an algorithm.
Errr, no thanks
I'm a big Eno fan but not impressed by this concept. Generative music rewards repeated listening. Who's going to watch this doc several times? Virtually nobody.
So you are saying writers are no longer needed. No thanks
Can we like stop making videos and just start living our lives
What a cheat he is.
💪⚓ I'm Popeye the real sailor man 🎵
Urder the BBC ... Mmm
So Quinten Tarantino?
