I can't help but see these technologies and think of Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park.

My boss sends me complete AI Workslop made with these tools and he goes "Look how wild this is! This is the future" or sends me a youtube video with less than a thousand views of a guy who created UGC with Telegram and point and click tools.

I don't ever think he ever takes a beat, looks at the end product, and asks himself, "who is this for? Who even wants this?", and that's aside from the fact that I still think there are so many obvious tells with this content that make you know right away that it is AI.

It's a fairly useful tool if you know how to use it. People will also play with it as a toy. It's much like the masses getting access to cheap video cameras and smartphones with good cameras. It's going to enable different content, it's not going to make more hollywood movies. This is an early example of what people will make: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBwluRXtS2U . It's just one person making all of this on the side.

This was my reaction when I saw Meta’s “Vibes” app. Who wants to browse a stream of exclusively AI generated videos? Obviously Meta wants that because it’s a lot cheaper than actually paying real people to make content… but it’s slop.

Oh my god.. "Meta".. "Vibes"..

Facebook has become the cringe how-do-you-do-fellow-kids uncle that Microsoft was since the 1990s

This is not the final target. It's video generation now, but that's just a stepping stone. The real thing is that learning a generator is also learning a prior over videos, and hence over how the world works. The real application of this will be word models, vision-language action models, spatial AI and robotics. Basically a kind of learned simulator in which to plan and imagine possible futures, possible actions and affordances etc. Video models could become a spatial reasoning platform too. A recent paper by deepmind (using veo3) showed that video models can perform many high level vision tasks out of the box.

Don't think it's going to end here at some slop feed.

Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park?!?

Try Jeff Goldblum in The Fly! I just re-watched and the computer he uses is scarily close to our experiences now with AI. In fact, the entire "accident" (I won't spoil it) is a result of the "AI" deciding what to do and getting it wildly wrong.
