I just pissed myself... this is the movie he is mad that people are calling slop... I demand you watch with the sound on... it is so much worse than you think it is going to be...

Ah yes... all those AI artists taking their lives because their work is being called AI slop... countless...

Seems to be the pattern! It's like I saw (but was glad to see it got zero traction so don't talk about it much) Higgsfield promote their "AI streaming platform" over a month ago, showcasing this one 10-mn pilot that they proudly talked about making in just 4 days! And very little money! That pilot..

..was genuinely impressive to me in that it *almost* passed for an episode of TV (not a good one, but plenty of TV isn't), but of the dozen shows they highlighted for their "streaming service", it was the only episode out. The kicker? Almost 2 months later it's still the only episode on there

The visuals aren't a problem for me, there's plenty of stuff I enjoy which are very low-fi. The real problem is the complete lack of intentionality. It's just a bunch of scenes where random things happen with no rhyme or reason.

This is the big recurring problem with AI art. And no amount of technical advancement will fix it. The people producing it just don't care about what they are creating. They're just shoving it out the door as quickly as possible and hoping it's good enough to pass.

I like when the snake kaiju suddenly has arms. I like when it brushes the side of a building and the building explodes. I like the discontinuity of the slowest chase in cinema history. I like that it stops chasing and waits patiently for the “Angela no” speech.

it's actually a deep gnostic metaphor. the serpent isn't hostile, per se, but simply driving the two protagonists to greater wisdom. you can see this in how it grows its legs back, ending the punishment it received in Genesis.

My god... I just spent the last 20 minutes scrolling through his LinkedIn activities. I was caught between second hand embarrassment and fascination of seeing someone so arrogant and disconnected from his own (lack of) skills. The guy is like releasing 5 movies and curing pancreas cancer. Fuck off.

WTAF was that? I'm assuming this is intended to be watched by AI too; like Claude and Alexa have a date night? Maybe go on a double with Grok and Siri?

I have dreams with better coherence and continuity than whatever the hell this is. Anyone who would look at this and consider it worth watching or even compare it to a movie clearly has never possessed or used a pair of eyes before.

I love how it's just a random series of barely connected shots that are haphazardly stitched together in a way that makes this short clip feel double its length, have zero continuity and the creature changes shape every time a cut happens. Worse than a kid making their first YouTube videos

Ahhh, man, at least Birdemic was written by a person. I mean, I'm not completely sure James Nguyen is a *human* person, but I'm 90% certain he isn't a robot. And Rod is probably also not a robot.

love to say this, Nathaniel: your ai movie looks like dogshit butt-water and I cant wait for the data centers to be demolished or destroyed, so you can then get an actual job, instead of pumping out this garbage

I'm gonna need to see the receipts on these "artists" who unalived themselves because people said that's crap literally anyone can screw up just as bad.

Man, going through this guy's LinkedIn profile and seeing how frequently he announces new AI slop projects, it seems like he must have some unique combination of ADHD and cocaine addiction...

Did AI write his post? Is he the AI? And we don’t really WANT AI filmmaking to succeed bc it IS AI slop. If you come up with a good prompt for AI, maybe don’t. Just take your idea and develop it yourself. Anything would have been better than whatever the hell I just watched…with sound.

A mindless, soulless abomination. A silk purse fabricated wholly from pigshit. A godless affront to the march of human civilisation. Just some alternatives to consider when "slop" won't do.

Great… ai had a seizure watching it and now all I can think of is moving to a cottage in the woods and writing a manifesto. I work in IT for crying out loud, I can’t afford to hate computers more than I already do.

rofl Oh, I see, the leviathan can make street and traffic lights which are floating freely without any connection to the ground explode by scaring the empty space around them with his jaws that do not align. Great stuff.

These are people who want to be perceived as Artists, without doing the effort to do so, nor face the inevitable criticism from what you do. They just want instant gratification

Even before any of the very distorted text to speech voices, the giant monster flopping through the street making less noise than a regular sized fish would have is... well, I can't say it's a choice because none of those were made

i'd say this would potentially be a decent use of ai for predicting the need to release insulin but we already have non-ai algorithms for this that shouldn't be so power hungry

You know you are watching an AI clip where a story about the demolition of a home cuts to a picture of bassist Carol Kaye, Glen Campbell, and other studio musicians who were members of the famed "Wrecking Crew."

The serpent destroyed a city just to make friends with a girl, meanwhile underwear man is running away from a raincoat demon who is catching up fast, but then he suddenly grew pants that gave him the extra boost he needed. I'm glad everything works out for them, now I don't have to watch the film.

ok, the audio is bad, the smooth inauthentic animation is off putting, but the human editing is terrible. There are complete nonsense cuts that don't flow properly because (now I am guessing here) this guy didn't want to cut a single second of footage that he probably paid a shit load for.

If anyone complains about my use of the term 'Slop' I'll just tell them that *I* didn't use the term, my sentient Palm Pilot came up with the sentence they find so upsetting. Then I'll demand respect (and a criticism-free space) for my sentient Palm Pilot.

Even if this tripe looked and sounded as good as a big-budget blockbuster, nothing will save a film from a bad (or nonexistent) script. But the people pushing AI don't care about art other than using it for profit and clout. They literally are not capable of understanding how bad this is or why.

I don't know how they were able to capture "the running at the camera in place in front of a green screen" shot. I would think professional stuff would drown out that data

I laughed at the "Don't dehumanize the artist" when it is AI Slop. AI isn't a tool for human art, it is a replacement. It is so absolutely dehumanizing it is isn't funny even if the claim to respect it is.

what always gets me is the constant bitching from the slopmongers who can't seem to understand why nobody's flinging bouquets at their feet over their stunning ~artistic vision~

STARRING: Lizardsnakecrocodile thing inexplicably flying through the air and changing proportions every three seconds! ALSO STARRING: GENERIC WHITE MAN AND CHILD running at the camera!! FEATURING: The most hackneyed tropes imaginable!!! THE FUTURE IS HERE, GET YOUR TICKETS NOW

The kaiju genre does not deserve garbage like this, it was literally created through a message about protecting the planet from pointless damage and caring for it. Not destroying earth's resources for **whatever this is**

Oh wow, are there people actually letting AI do everything? Even the editing? Because it’s hard to believe a human editor would make this cut. Or if they did someone would tell them to fix it. Are these fools not even watching back their own work?!?
