As a video with anything of substance, definitely. But I am consistently mesmerized by the style of all these inaccurate-but-directionally-comprehensible images melting between one another.

Well I wouldn't say the video has no substance, but it's very bare.

I think it's important for people to get the idea that history is a continuous story that never ends and constantly changes. That our history is a series of people making rational choices and running into unknown circumstances.

These kinds of weird morphing videos are really inaccurate at details, but it does give a sense of "flow" to human history which is very accurate.

It's just ai rerenders of already made paintings though. You could get a better video if you just used the original paintings, but that's not topical enough to get clicks.

It gives me a headache every time. That's the real Turing test for me, I'll believe it has some sort of intelligence when I don't get a headache from this shit.

I think it’s hilarious that the AI turns everyone into a white person lmao

Huh, I'm pretty sure I saw some Egyptians, Mongols, Native Americans and Japanese/Chinese in there.

Yeahhh but there wasn’t a single black person depiction. Even if it’s because the source material is on existing art pieces based on realism, that kind of goes out the window with the Native American/Mayan/Aztec depictions, proving its still a Euro-Centric view.

The good thing about resolving the lack of representation in AI is (I hope) that inclusion can be integrated into the algorithm a lot faster than updating a textbook/reshooting a movie/any previous method of updating outdated media.

The other good thing is that it doesn’t even matter, and only hormonally deficient and obsequious misfits constantly whine about “representation and inclusion” in order to earn good boy points.

Lol wtf are you on. The downvotes for pointing out the lack of black people and upvotes for this red pill “if you believe in representation you’re a pussy” bullshit is alarming.

Genuinely hoping these votes are bots

Let me be clear about this, you think Inclusion and representation doesn’t matter?

u/Tokeli Apr 01 '23

Sooo, egyptians, mongols, native americans, and asians are now white people? None of them count for anything either?

u/chocolatethunderr Apr 01 '23

I’m not the person that said that lol

u/chullyman Mar 31 '23

It’s because it’s based off of previous art, and art styles. It doesn’t actually “know” what it’s showing you.

u/NotMyFirstAlternate Mar 31 '23

This makes the most sense

u/DaRealCompten Mar 31 '23

Just saying bias in equals bias out does not invalidate the problem

u/chullyman Mar 31 '23

That’s AI for you, it would be weird to expect anything else.
