@Diesol @GaryMarcus Yeah, it's kind of amazing as a novelty. I would never have expected something like this could be so easily generated.

But ignoring most directions, and so obviously using the underlying data, I cannot envision a scenario where this is actually useful.

For comparison, the top is the prompt, translated from Chinese. What's in the box is what you could have fit in the prompt within the character limit in english. Boom.

@GaryMarcus You’re missing an important failure point. It ignores almost all of the direction in the prompt.

This half-assed lightsaber battle captures almost everything that is wrong with (most) AI art in one short video:

1. It is entirely derivative
2. The original artists have been totally ripped off
3. It sucks. Nobody would have watched Star Wars if the battles were this pathetic.

The statement '100% for a feature film. (fine for a short clip in a hallucinatory low budget music video maybe)' is a critique of the quality and applicability of an AI-generated video. The conversation revolves around the capabilities and limitations of AI in generating creative content, specifically a Star Wars-themed video. The tone is critical but not hostile, and it engages in a broader discussion about the potential and shortcomings of AI in creative fields.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not cause harm; it is a critique of the AI-generated content rather than a personal attack. [+1]
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement promotes understanding by providing a clear opinion on the limitations of the AI-generated video, which can foster a more informed discussion about the technology's capabilities. [+1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in constructive criticism by pointing out specific issues with the AI-generated video, contributing to a dialogue about its practical applications. [+1]
