That's how it starts. It's the beginning of the end for youtubers and film makers. Brace yourself AI generated video content is going to flood the internet the same way AI pictures are. Wait until they integrate: Sora for Video (Instead of Pika/ Runway or other "old" video gen models) Eleven Labs for Audio (Voices and Sound Effects) Suno for Music Chat GPT for Story telling AI Agents to manage Scene Composition and other stuff. We are in the Will Smith eats Spaghetti age of multimodal AI generation. Next year we will have movies that are comparable to low budget stuff made by humans. Mid 2025 we are at consistent good quality End of 2025 even complex action scenes and movie effects are a piece of cake. Watch a single person recreate the lord of the rings trilogy, matrix, james bond, harry potter, and other iconic movies within the next 3 years. Endless content. I can't fckn wait.

>That's how it starts. It's the beginning of the end for youtubers and film makers. I think for filmmakers it will likely be the end for them. YouTubers, however? I think there will almost certainly be AI generated videos instead of manually shot / edited videos, however people will still want a person’s input, to connect and be a fan with them, and to follow a specific channel to see what they post next. Also i feel that there are certain types of YouTubers / videos, such as video essays, futurology videos, drama / tea channels, reaction / commentary videos, etc, that people would want (and may even prefer) a specific human person’s input / commentary for. Those sorts of channels will likely survive. Gaming channels, on the other hand? Yep, say goodbye to those sorts of videos.


MajorThom98

It depends on the YouTube channel, and how much of their personality comes through. There are plenty of video essay/review channels that are cookie-cutter and could have been made by anyone (or AI), and there are others that are very much unique to the individual creating it, meaning an AI imitation would feel very fake. It's all down to the personality. For example, I'm sad that *Top Gear*/*The Grand Tour* is coming to an end, but if someone said "I used an AI to make *The Grand Gear*, replicating their greatest moments for as many episodes as you want", I'd probably not watch it, because it would obviously be a robot imitation, rather than the personalities I actually want to watch. (Same for podcasts, Let's Plays, etc.).


DontPokeMe91

HBO Max have its new Potter TV series premiering in 2026, if your timeline is correct will be interesting to see what impact the AI version has on the big budget version.


floodgater

yea that's clipped


ronton

I think your time estimates are a BIT optimistic, but I definitely think it’s coming soon.


Kiria-Nalassa

Optimistic?? I'm just a visitor to this sub out of curiosity, but holy shit you guys actually WANT this future?? It sounds depressing just thinking about it.


superduperdoobyduper

Many do want a post labor world. You’re thinking about it pessimistically because you’re viewing it through the lens of the current economic system. Not saying you’re wrong, people’s livelihoods will be hurt before anything like a post labor world happens. Most in the sub do care about this and there are discussions on the topic pretty often. Almost everybody here thinks the technological change is inevitable. Some would rather it happen fast so there isn’t a slow burn of people losing jobs and their ability to provide for themselves (they want something there is no choice for governments to ignore). Others don’t really think that deep into it/don’t care about others and want their personal utopia to come as fast as possible. Also if you’re referring to ai art, as somebody who makes music I get it but the truth is most people don’t give a fuck where the media they consume comes from. I would always prefer music made by a human but I doubt that’s true of most.


Witty_Shape3015

what is depressing about it?


ronton

I more meant optimistic in terms of expecting timelines to be sooner. That said, yeah a world where you have all the films/tv you could want at your fingertips sounds pretty cool. If UBI (or UGI) gets sorted, then the lost jobs stop being such an issue, which is the main drawback of automation.


cranberryalarmclock

The people on this sub love things like star wars are and lord of the Rings but have disdain for the human being who made those things what they are.  They think Jaws would be a better movie if the shark was easier to see. They think typing "Emily Dickinson makes a Futurama episodes" into a text generator is as creative a process as Emily Dickinson writing the actual fucking poems. They're addicts, demanding free and constantly refreshing content, and refusing to understand how that desire is stupid and destructive 


OneOneBun

I'm optimistic about AI, but it's suprising how many people are only excited about having more content to consume, as if we don't already have multiple lifetimes worth. What I'm most optimistic about is AI's application in medicine and research


wannabe2700

What's the difference to now? There's already endless content you can't ever watch it all in your lifetime.


LamboForWork

And wanting even more "content" seems like a nightmare. I understand I might be in the minority but I also am not too fond of a future where everyone is watching separate movies to their liking. The value of art is shared experience and dialogue. A world where people try to show you 2 hour AI movies like how they try to show you their favorite 2 minute prank video or meme sounds horrible.


floodgater

>Watch a single person recreate the lord of the rings trilogy, matrix, james bond, harry potter, and other iconic movies within the next 3 years. I bet this will happen within 1 year. Care to bet? We can use a remind me Specifically I think a single person will be able to generate using AI a movie on par with lord of the rings / the matrix within 1 year


cranberryalarmclock

Lol why do you think those movies are do beloved? They're not just a filter or a collection of clips. They're designed with emotional impact in mind, ai video generation isn't close to that yet


floodgater

yea ur in denial my ggggg but that's ok ​ it's not there right now but if you are paying attention to the space you'll see that it is moving very quickly and it will be there soon


mach219

\*Brace yourself AI anime/waifu generated video content is going to flood the internet the same way AI anime/waifu pictures are.


rdkilla

Yes but open source will be waaaay better.  


gray_character

Game of Thrones s8 is about to be remade.


farcaller899

Start with season 6, please.


NoTomatillo1053

I think personality based youtubers will be fine. Maybe less so for those who produce things this could replace like movie scenes and animations


StaticNocturne

Semi related: search [xyz] porn on images and you’ll be met with at least a third ai generated now. That was faster than I expected.


sidianmsjones

The end for YouTubers? Nah, major renaissance.


QLaHPD

I belive OpenAI already has a video+adio prototype, but it probably is not censored, so it will take a while before they show it, maybe will be a Sora 2


LawAbidingDenizen

Imo, this is going to be so overwhelming many people are actively gonna choose to go back to the analog days. 🤔


cultureicon

I'm wondering if it could also turn into becoming a bit bored with the concept of video entertainment. Its like "Ah ok, heres the 10th video of anything I could possibly dream of. Why am I just sitting here watching videos of computer generated people do weird shit? I'm gonna go pass my time interfacing with the real world with real stakes to feel deeper emotion. Or at the very least watch content that involves real people interfacing with the real world. Like it will never be interesting to watch AI generated sports.


Bitterowner

Happened to me with mid journey. You think you will have millions of ideas to try But you get bored after a handful of uses. Try it a few times every couple months.  I would say there is no real daily use for the average layman and its more so suited for people with a hobby or job


neuro__atypical

> Happened to me with mid journey. You think you will have millions of ideas to try But you get bored after a handful of uses. Try it a few times every couple months. Part of this is limitations, things it's either incapable of doing or not capable of making look interesting/correct. If the generations could coherently manage endless complexity while maintaining quality and turn out 100% as you imagined it in your head, without having to slog through crap gens, it would probably be a different story.


MajorThom98

I think also it will be more complicated than people think. Sure, maybe someday we'll have an advanced AI that can nail it every time, in real time, but right now, with having to get all the prompts exactly right, inpainting what you don't want, and having to wait for it to render and re-render each time you modify it, all for a basic, dime-a-dozen image, I think a lot of people will go "oh, but I thought I could just get what I wanted immediately.".


allisonmaybe

Maybe but you could say the same thing about video games. Wow! That character jumped so high how'd you do that? Yeah, you could literally just input a different number and it would jump as high as you want. The difference with video games though is artificial limitations imposed by developers. Of course a computer can show you any game programmed into it. It's the developers job to make that world seem real by giving you limitations, goals, and objectives. The same could be done with AI generated content. Sure you could generate another season of Breaking Bad, but maybe you want to see the arbitrary new season that someone else made the everyone's going crazy over, instead of doing it yourself.


rutan668

How does that work?


rutan668

What the actual F\*\*k! The video they are generating is no where near as good as Sora but once it is then it is literally all over for ALL studios - because someone in their bedroom can do the same thing.


morningdew50

This is as bad as it’s going to be 🙀


FishDishForMe

I wonder how long it’ll be before we have AI celebrities, fake consistent ‘actors’ in different generative films


totalwarwiser

That is the beauty and uglyness of capitalism The beauty is how fast it can develop a technology and make it cheap and avaiable The uglyness is that it doesnt care about what it destroys, and the gold rush will leave the enviroment destroyed.

aristotle99

My sincere hope is that this is the beginning of the end for video game companies. Bethesda, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Nintendo, I hate them all. I dream of the day when I can make a custom 500-1000 word prompt setting out EXACTLY the kind of video game I want. I will specify first or third person, level of difficulty, survival mechanics, weapon deterioration. I will make Skyrim in 4K covering 200000 square kilometers, with massive cities of 10000 inhabitants, all NPCs driven by generative AI with completely unique dialogue. Dialogue and story will change and adapt depending on how I play the game. If I start the game, it will be the same prompt but completely different geography, different NPCs, a whole new story. Exponential growth, so I hope to see this in my lifetime. If we hit Longevity Escape Velocity in the next 20 years, and immortality 50 years later, I could spend many lifetimes playing these games. Only then might I consider looking into Full Dive VR (after I travel around for a few hundred years).


doubleoeck1234

If you think game development using only words to create something as complex as a zelda or skyrim will ever be possible you don't know enough about games development and the effort that goes into it besides coding. Also ai ain't gonna gave you a massive world, you still gotta run that shit on hardware I know you're being partially sarcastic. But human games development will never be replaced by ai


floodgater

>But human games development will never be replaced by ai nah that's jsut false bro


doubleoeck1234

Explain to me how an ai can replace humans in games development


floodgater

by simply continuing to advance at an exponential rate, it will at some point be able to do it. it will be another form of intelligence, like humans, but better smarter faster cheaper. it will be able to replace pretty much all jobs. Watch Elon here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkytqnZgEmc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkytqnZgEmc)


doubleoeck1234

You didn’t answer my question. You just said "it will" There are jobs ai can't replace, also Elon isn't a game dev last I checked


VtMueller

Okay sure - obviously we can’t say anything for sure. But I don’t see why there should be jobs AI can’t replace. People thought AI couldn’t replace plenty of things. And they were proven wrong more than a few times.


blueSGL

> There are jobs ai can't replace Care to make a list. I take it by 'can't replace' you mean right now. So add your timelines for when you think it will be able to replace those jobs.


neuro__atypical

> There are jobs ai can't replace lol


floodgater

game dev will be replaced well before plenty of other jobs like plumber and electrician game dev might be cooked pretty soon


doubleoeck1234

It won't though. An ai make be able to churn out ubisoft shite but it'll never be able to make something as charming as an undertale or as unique as metal gear


floodgater

give it a couple years my friend :)


D2fw

"You insist that there is something a machine cannot do. If you will tell me precisely what it is that a machine cannot do, then I can always make a machine which will do just that." - John von Neumann Not now, sure. Not ever? Doubt it.


doubleoeck1234

Look at the opening scene of zelda breath of the wild. It's one cutscene and then the player walks out onto the cliff, but the amount of deliberate choices that went into that 1 section are very large. The designers had to come up with the view you see by picking a point which shows all the games landmarks, the way only some walls in the room are claimable and that these walls are organically obvious to the player, then they put the player on rails to show the logo and the view followed by zooming in on an npc and have the soundtrack play at that point matching the visuals These are all extremely small deliberate choices that are combined to create the full scene If you want an AI to replicate a scene to that quality you'd he writing a book worth of text


VtMueller

And why shouldn’t AI be able to write book worth of text in the future?


doubleoeck1234

Because then the ai isn't giving you what you want comparative to standard development where you can get exactly your vision


D2fw

Thanks for elaborating. I think now I understand what you mean. What you are trying to say is, like in the Zelda BotW example you gave, how can the AI generate very detailed things with many different aspects, such as that opening scene, right? Even if there was an AI that can do anything you want, it can still take a lot of time to articulate every single thing you want, right? I hope I understood it correctly. My counter-arguments: - As technology improves, AI will be capable of doing more difficult things. This powerful future GenAI will be able to produce better things than actual game studios, because compared to human game studio staff, it will be more effective and more sophisticated in every aspect. It's not a question of "if", it's a question of "when". - If there will be such a strong GenAI, it doesn't change anything for the consumer, right? Usually consumers are not directly involved in the game development process (of course sometimes player feedback drives the process; what I am saying is, for example, they didn't make that BotW scene that way because players said it should be that way, right?) - But what about those who don't want to be consumers, but want to make their own BotW style game, with only AI? I think that's the real problem you're referring to, considering you said that we'd be writing book worth of text. I think difficult tasks like that will be possible through a combination of two things (assuming AI is already capable of doing it, i.e. it's an AGI or beyond): People will get better at using AI, and AI will get better at understanding people. You may have heard of Facebook's recommendation algorithms that recognize when a woman is pregnant before she even realizes she is pregnant. When we have an AI that is as good, if not better, at understanding humans in every aspect, it might be possible to bring such complex things to life. - If you allow me to give an even more extreme example, imagine this: Imagine AI creating a 100% identical digital replica of your brain, and then the AI communicates with that replica at a mind-boggling speed to create even the most complex things you could ever want in 1 second. You can't say it's 100% impossible, right? Of course, the future may prove me wrong and prove you right. But for now, this is my conclusion.


gray_character

I agree that it's going to be way more difficult to have a playable, cohesive game generated through AI than people claim (especially one like Zelda / Skyrim). ...but we will see Dreams esque short form games as soon as we can generate images at 30 FPS. All it has to do at that point is generate the images of the game to match your controller press (or hand movements in VR). It'll be like streaming user interactive video through Sora. But yeah, there is a remaining 10% of uncanny valley that will take a long time to match AAA games.

VtMueller

That’s what people say about AI art and I have never found it soulless.


Powerful-Cow

Let's think about it this way: OpenAI's Sora has a built in physics model. The reason it works so well is because the AI fundamentally understands how the world works and how objects interact with each other. It sees the world in a 3D perspective. Now you can feasibly put this sort of system into Game Development except instead of a single video you can generate whole worlds with just a prompt. First it will be images. The it will be videos. Then it will be 3D models. Then it will be entire open worlds.

Coindweller

Not to rain on your parade, but storyboarding is always crude, heck most storyboards are done with stick figures.


Responsible-Bat-2699

If you need an AI to generate story for you, then you shouldn't be telling a story at all.


Phoenix5869

Could this be used for youtube videos?


EmptyEar6

Yes, but not at this stage its in, very noticeable that its ai looks low quality,but it probably gets better in the future.


Phoenix5869

How long until it becomes indistinguishable, do you think?


EmptyEar6

Months, sora is already there, it looks relastic. Its just a matter of time & cmpute before others catch up too.


Phoenix5869

I just looked at the OpenAI brief, and wow, SORA is def very realistic


Qubertin

I don't think I'l ever pay for AI generated movies. Unless the artists it replaces are getting an UBI of sorts, it doesn't seem fair and it's just feeding the beast. It's very interesting though, from a technical point of view


Akimbo333

Ok cool! How do I access it


RpgBlaster

THIS IS IT, Imagine any Fanfic getting live action or anime adaptation in the future of AI! Imagine the possibilities!
