AI is taking the jobs of Kenyans who write essays for U.S. college students
A.I. can replace meatbags in pointless Turkish Delight stretching.
Hopefully this will eventually teach people that Turkish Delight Stretching is bullshit and we need to get rid of it and teach people actually useful stuff.

Geez, no need to insult honest confectioners.
Handmade Turkish delight is delicious. Unlike the over-paid essay spinners, their vocation actually does something pleasing and useful for other people.

Tell me about it, I just enjoyed some with pestachio and with walnuts with my coffee this morning.
It is a Bulgarian term of phrase, writing page after page of pointless bullshit due to quotas and an idiot teacher teaching a total bullshit subject a.k.a an essay, is known as Lokum(Turkish Delight) Stretching.
And we are talking the cheap ass Bulgarian store Lokum that used to cost maybe 30 cents a box.

Taking a look at current AI-created videos...
Still some jank but the speed at which that's getting ironed out is impressive, just compare this to what we had as recently as March (when we still had pundits in this thread insisting animation was an insurmountable obstacle).
In other news, AI Gurus are predicting that 80% of all jobs will be replaced by AI in the next few years...

AI could replace 80% of jobs 'in next few years': expert
Artificial intelligence could replace 80 percent of human jobs in the coming years -- but that's a good thing, says US-Brazilian researcher Ben Goertzel, a leading AI guru."You could probably obsolete maybe 80 percent of jobs that people do, without having an AGI, by my guess.

FFFFUUUUUUUCK.
It's not just the job loss that deeply worries me; it's how easy it would be for malevolent forces to use this video technology to create false video recordings to create or undermine a narrative.

He first says that GAI is only a few years away, then when asked about the dangers of AI is only focuses on GPT. That feels pretty disingenuous.
He also implies that mass unemployment is a worry in the future, but we can already see it happening. He's laying this "80% in a few years" figure out there and making people think that it will be as if a new product will come along and BAM! everyone gets laid off, but it's worse because it will be a line of dominoes with things getting worse and worse. If a person is unemployed for long enough, the government takes them off of the employment statistics, which will make the numbers look better.

Definitely going to be an interesting path as people figure out that video evidence is no longer viable. Of course we've already seen the start of this. Does anyone remember all those AI-generated images of Trump being arrested that the internet fell for?

There was a Pope Francis deepfake hoax as well that a lot of people believed.

The swagged-out pope is an AI fake — and an early glimpse of a new reality
AI fakes are hyperreal — soon, they’ll just be real.

Yeah, the thing here to note is this guy is an AI Guru. By nature and financial incentive, he is going to want to put forward the absolute best-case scenario and most AI-positive spin on the news that he can.
As this is what he came up with.
Also as I've brought up in previous discussions, it's not just jobs lost, it's wage growth loss. People often find new jobs but at severely diminished pay compared to what they had before, over the long haul wages have stagnated and hours increased for the same pay as people struggle to compete with machines. As machines grow more capable and productivity has increased, we've seen real wages fall off a cliff.

Those kids don't seem to have eyes in that first videos picture. And the hand problems continue.
Creepy as hell.

There is a slight difference between film studios being able to fake a scene in a movie and anyone being able to generate a convincing fake of anything at anytime.

Still seeing the utterly unacceptable writhing of all fine detail, still seeing the incomprehensible warping of perspective, still seeing the abundance of distorted vague impressions of what the thing should be, and the proportions are also fucked. It is slightly less noisy, but it still demonstrates that the approach is wildly inappropriate because inter-frame stability does not scale properly.

We're not the intended audience. For anyone rich enough to own AI and automated infrastructure, "you'll be able to replace your human employees with machines which are cheaper and incapable of striking" is great news.
the plans of mice and men tend to go side ways.
Because sooner or later the question will come of who will be the cesar of this new empire they want to build.
And you can only have one emperor.....

It is improving noticeably though; which means that, so long as the technology continues to do so, it's possible that it will eventually get to the point where it becomes indistinguishable from the real thing.
honestly its better then some of the animation coming out of hollywood now.
