Netflix uses AI effects for first time to cut costs
a year ago by Davriellelouna to c/technology
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.
Yes, and I didn't mean to make it seem like I was in support of implementing AI either. It's probably going to continue to get worse as a result.
Good advice, thanks
Now canceling the show mid-story by Season 2 will be cheaper than ever!
A boomer coworker recently said something that made a lot of sense to me: Netflix is for 2020s TV what Motown was for 1960s music. They've turned the artform into a production line, constantly optimising to shovel out as much content as possible, hunting the minimum viable product, and occasionally, very rarely, producing something good almost by chance. L
not here to defend any corporation,
but TV was corporate slop before netflix.
Loooong before. But I will say, most shows at least got a decent shake before Netflix became a producer. These days even a solid season 1 with rave reviews isn’t a guarantee of a season 2.
i think Netflix practically killed sitcoms, as they never give shows any chance to build an audience before they cancel it.
on the other hand, they made Centaur would, so it's not all that bad
sounds like your coworker just wanted an opportunity to bitch about motown. this phenomenon isn’t unique to motown either.
It really isn't. Optimization of any business usually yields promising benefits. But there are always those that lose to the optimization. Sports, films, music, even other businesses always cut people out that don't pull their weight or make it pain in the ass to match the new focus.
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?

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.
the problem is AI is trained on art by small creators who don’t get compensated for it at all.
To me it’s fine to use for personal hobbies, but as soon as you start trying to make money with it or even just present it publicly you get into murky waters.
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.
yo ho fiddle dee free
netflix continues to suck film at 11
Regardless, The Eternaut was awesome
It stays pretty slow but does begin to get a bit… weirder. The end of the season was rad and got me really hyped for season 2. I’ve actually watched the first season 2 times now.
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.
Wasn't The Gray Man based on a book? Yeah it was... not good, but is there evidence of AI in the script?
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.
"Chat GPT, write the script for a movie lasting about 90 minutes based on 'The Gray Man', pronto!"
That's not really evidence... humans can write shitty scripts too.
If there were evidence amd they didn't disclose it, it would be a huge scandal considering protections against AI was a huge part of the 2023 strike.
There's shitty and "even an illiterate schizophrenic can write something better". But of course that's not evidence, lol, it's just my hopeful speculation!
How things are made matter just as much as the thing itself. People who can't understand this simple fact are half the reason our environment is being destroyed.
If the end result is all that matters, there are a ton of unimaginable horrors that could be done.
If it doesn't mean it's noticeably shitty then don't care
Does it make it look worse? No? Then it doesn't matter.
Also the damage to our environment. The llms use a bunch of energy and fresh water.

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.
