Ironic that the commercial rips on the "unmanliness of beards" but Jeremy is sporting one.

A well trimmed one at that.

Their first commercials were pretty good too.

The previous commercials were better. There's something cartoonish and "uncanny valley" about AI generated stuff.

The first films were black and white films with no sound. The current stuff is some nerds with a good GPU. Give it a few years.

There are going to be huge legal fights to hash out regarding the often licensed or copyrighted source material that these AI algorithms very often crawl through and use to amalgamate their own compositions. Unless one owns all the IP the AI is using to create what are just very sophisticated composites, one can argue it is copying some fraction of source media to do its work.

I am not sure that has ever really been hashed out and the real problem from there is more complicated in that the AI programmers often are dealing with a black box of self generated or evolved code and they can't explain or trace exactly how their AI used source material to generate a final product.

Unless you constrain an AI to source material that is legal public domain or privately owned and authorized, that problem occurs, and it compounds as AI's generate successive iterations of output that are subsequently used as further source material unless they are somehow flagged as AI and it is instructed to disregard such sources.

Still looks fake and obviously computer generated.

OP.....I don't believe in the demise of hollywood. Who else is going to give us these new re-tellings of snow white, or reboots of Captain America (this time he's different), or another version of superman, or even the forking dinosaurs. AI wouldn't retell the same crap and try to package it as something new. Hollywood will never give up their gig easily,

I have sat in too many empty theaters over the last few years. Each time I do, I look around in wonder at the fact that hollywood will never learn.

"seems" Nah. It's OVER. Film and television is now a bunch of nerds with high powered graphics cards.

Modeling is done. You can make a more beautiful woman than anything nature could make. And for pennies.

It will impact almost every industry. But film/tv/modeling's goose is cooked.

I don't think so. There will always be a market for real actors and models. AI is like the "Auto-tune" of visual media.
Just because something looks or sounds "perfect", it doesn't mean it looks or sounds good.

For science!

AI generated content gives me a headache, I think it has something to do with random depth of field/focus.

Another decade and this stuff will get so good it will be difficult to distinguish from the real thing regarding media, at least in short cuts of it, and at least where it is showing something non-fantastical.

You will eventually need an AI to ensure what you are looking at in court is not also artificial, for example.

It'll get better but it will never look quite right. Reality can only be imitated. It can never be duplicated.

Proves my point. You can tell something is off in those images. Almost creepy.

AI generated action movies can be made in anyone's basement now. Might as well move to a low tax state.

Give it time. Also part of the fun of A.I. is you can do whatever with it.

If you watch the video of that indian girl, there are parts of it where she is walking that are very hard to distinguish from reality.

I wonder if the domain onlyelectrons.com is available.

I wonder what engine they used. I tried to make a video a while back and it had a bunch of dudes melting into each other and crap.

They're obviously AI generated, which is kind of the point. As Southpark can get away with outlandish stuff because it's a "cartoon", so can these ads that lean into this messaging.

10 years ago you would've said the AI tech we see now could not have been done.

Are we making a Hollywood movie or random razor commercial on X?

I am very happy about the fact that now all the women whose only career is becoming a stripper and pron star

will actually have to get a productive job.

onward to real life looking female robots who clean my house!

A WW1 scene. (Not gay porn as you were probably hoping)

Will my razor make you the manliest man in all of human history?

I guarantee it will, in the most emphatic way that isn't legally binding?

BTW, I've started using Jeremy's razors.

Best razors I've ever used by far!

- Gillette went by the wayside after they called me a rapist
- Harry's was decent, but they were so sharp, there was always a danger i'd slit my throat
- Tried safety razors, old school, tons and tons of cuts
- Currently use the 5 blade jeremy's razor, absolutely amazing - clean, and not deadly
