I won’t say anything just yet. I’d love for you all to watch this and… well, I’m very curious to hear some thoughts. If you know
you’ll get it quickly, if don’t know, you must watch until the last seconds. I’ve love to have a creative, philosophical discussion, though I know some might feel a certain type of way about all this.
I recognized the source footage being used which is good by itself of course; but overlooking the obvious quirks giving away it's AI generated(probably improved in future model), I mean, beyond the initial awe due to its novelty being seen the first time, it's hard to gauge how meaningful it'll be going forward. I mean, after the initial awe and we get flooded and saturated by such footage, the question arrives, at least for connoisseurs and people with taste: So what?
I came upon the analogy that AI generated stuff is like plastic flowers; they may brighten up the environment and be okay to cast a glance at, but once you start looking at them and realize they're fake and life less, the excitement just dies. So it's like "nice, but so what?"
I recognised many of the photos you brought to life. I loved the thought of doing this to my own photos. For me I would have a problem if I had conversations with the people in your photos, so you had connection with them, which would then present an ethical problem for me if you had not informed them the photos would be published. The subjects may feel they have been prospected for a project. However if the photos were anonymous, I do not feel the same way about how deceptive it could be. Unless of course it was family and they trusted you using AI.
