It felt like an actual South Park episode before everything went hyper-partisan
Yeah, that is one of the reasons why I posted it. If AI can do this, then the step to take on Hollywood is here.
That's actually crazy, is there any way people can still do this using other AIs or something? It would be super effective to see talented and funny people showing Matt and Trey up as the washed, sell out faggots they are.
And that's one of the reasons why South Park animation was explicitly banned. Some dude with enough knowledge in basic editing and AI prompts can produce an episode that reminds people of what made the show popular in the first place decades ago.
It's a simple formula of "wacky self contained plot event happens, here's how those wacky South Park characters handle it, Stan gives a lesson about what was learned, Kenny dies, credits"
Ironic, considering the show looks like a kindergartner made it. IIRC the pilot episode actually was made with construction paper and glue.
Yes there was even a later episode where the kids made their own cartoon using the same technique, poking fun at themselves before they got better computer graphics tools
I don't know. I hope so. I want this to happen.
Wait 6 months to a year when every other AI, including the open source models, have something like Sora. It'll be impossible for copyrighters to monitor all of that at once. Maybe even local LLM's will be capable of this soon enough
I can’t wait until a Sora clone can run on our GPUs.
Hollywood may be set free again
I agree. It makes me hope Stable Diffusion makes a comeback.
That's going to be a fun shit storm.
I would actually watch South Park again if it were AI generated by this guy. Let that sink in. That's how low we've sunk.
I know there's going to be a chilling effect with these advances in AI, where it will become impossible to determine what's real and what's fake (if the Epstein blackmail material gets leaked, those implicated can argue that it's just AI slander), and moreover the good AI that's publicly accessible will have so many restrictions on it it'll be a chore to use, but gosh I'm enjoying the schadenfreude watching the 'creative class' freak out over it. Especially if only a few years ago they were pining for a future where Star Trek holodecks actually exist. Those are just AI generated 3D environments with NPCs you can physically touch.
You should see how far they've gotten with videogames. Not yet at the full level, and a few seconds long, but amazing.
You mean videos simulating video games?
Basically. Have some links from my studies

Genie 3 from Google deep mind allows a few minutes of videogame world to be played. It's not actual 3D, but feels like it with fewer hallucinations.

Mirage has a new one as well. Walking through a van Gogh painting is pretty amazing.

Walkable 3D videos is the newest thing. It's not true 3D, but it keeps context and allows you to move within it.

They produce these episodes within a week. Not exactly surprising that AI is easily able to replicate them.
Sora had the ability to make more South Park removed.
It is a pretty blatant copyright infringement. No one would be allowed to copy South Park by hand either.
I mean, you obviously couldn't use their characters, but what if you used the art style to make "Parody Park" or something with all original characters?
Should be fine I suppose. But OpenAI is still not going to let people use Sora to easily and quickly create South Park parodies that go against the narrative.
You probably could. Then again with the amount you spend on the AI subscription you could get a $50 Point and shoot and a large stack of construction paper from wally world and make as many episodes you wanted.
If you don't sell it, you can absolutely make a South Park animation as fair use. You'd have to be clear that it's fan-made.
I think that's right. I'm not sure, actually.
Wouldn't be so sure of that. Copyright law is pretty fucked. Nintendo regularly shuts down fan projects. Games Workshop likes to do it too. Disney was extremely protective of Mickey until the copyright ran out.
Those are people who back down when given a cease and desist. But perhaps you're right. I dunno.
I mean even if it isn't technically illegal but if you have to be very wealthy to be able to fight against i it pretty much is illegal.
As long as it is possible to drag out lawsuits to financially bleed out your opponent it doesn't really matter what the law actually says or intends.
The DMCA abuse problem on Youtube is the best example for that. What happens is blatantly against the law (fair use) but they're able to keep on doing it because nothing ever happens.
actually funny and not loaded with current year leftist political bullshit. This is why the retards loathe the idea of AI
Very much so. They now have to compete.
And it's making that $1.5 billion purchase for a new TDS attack vector disguised as "comedy" that much more hilarious
I'd love to do that and create new retro South Park circa Season 1-10 episodes. I love the absurdist humor of the original series. Doesn't matter to me that Sora banned it- this tech will reach the open source LLM's by next year or so. OpenAI is always a year ahead but everyone will catch up. It'll be too hard for copyrighters to stop us at that point
It's going to be a brave new world of content creation when tools that allow visualizing one's imagination become super easy and cheap to use.
People will have to change their conceptions of how much financial value art can reasonably have, but we'll all be the better for it in the end.
I legitimately laughed out loud at one point.
Congrats AI... you're one step closer to bringing a full-length Chrome Lords movie to life.
That's pretty wild.
Reminded me of Martin Shkreli or whatever his name is
During the most recent Hollywood strike, they talked about this a lot.
AI: Propaganda: Justine Bateman
During the Hollywood strike one woman claims to be a computer scientist and actress. She thinks Hollywood needs to outlaw AI or actors will be gone soon. So she supports the strike. She dislikes the term content
https://archive.ph/cWQg9
Here's another anti content.
https://archive.ph/knW9D
This is her saying actors will have their faces rented for cheap to movies.
https://archive.ph/VXw1H
This is her saying Hollywood demands AI take over.
https://archive.ph/JIyuD
Here's another horror filled anti AI thread. These are going around my lefty friends a lot. Even a few lawyers.
https://archive.ph/kdn4S
I had to quit listening to Justine Bateman. She doesn't know anything about AI.
And hilariously, nearly every one of her complaints could be turned around and made about the "artists" she spends all of her time "defending."
"But it's taking copyrighted stuff and just making new things based on what it learned!" Uhh, hate to break it to you Justine, but that's how humans work, too. And literally every other complaint she makes is exactly the same thing.
Yeah, she was insane, but that's why I archived and placed her rants on my list.
This is a total "missing the forest for the trees" statement. If that happens it will be for a VERY short period of time, because it will be cheaper to just generate a new face. She just can't follow the train of logic to the obvious next step because she assumes "actor's faces have value" is a truism.
Say we were making Iron Man in this supposed future world. Why would anyone license RDJ's face when they could just generate a model of Stark's face based on the comics and not have to pay an actor for their face?
And once they're not hiring flesh-and-blood actors for any roles? DEI excuses go out the window. If they make a character look a certain way, it will be a deliberate choice. They won't be able to hide behind the "best actor who auditioned" lies anymore. They had the capability of making the character look exactly as described in whatever the source material was, they simply chose not to.
