AI needs humans to connect the pieces and explain it to people. This will change quickly, a couple of decades. People will explore infinite spaces of possibility, finding interesting paths worth walking again, and that's the content, the pedagogy, the symbiosis.

@devforfun5618 6 месяцев назад

yup, they like to say it is a tool, but someone needs to wield the tool, usually it is not the boss, unless the boss has experience in the field, the same studios think they can remove the face of an actor and put it on another actor, and that it is a great idea, but what good actor would want to be the one hidden ?

@MrsAnnThropy 6 месяцев назад

⁠@@devforfun5618my only assumption there would be so that you could brag that you’re the actual body double for a certain celebrity. cus we know actors aren’t gonna just let their faces be used, if it comes down to that they’ll license it out the same way they do for in person acting, it’ll just be cheaper than actually buying their time. people would certainly be happy to be known as the body for a celebrity if they do well enough. then comes the bottom line, it’s just going to be a lot of people desperate for auditions… so we would certainly have to define “good” actor. because it could very well just stunt any growth of hollywood. we would never need to find new faces, literally ever. acting would become something so different and dystopian i really just scared myself writing this comment

@zahrakhan47 6 месяцев назад

Technically, in the final product, it sounds like they DO do that. Just that the confession is done to another actor first, then the director does it "for the sake of the movie" they're filming, and then the actress will do it again to the original actor but while intending for it to be received by the director!

Huzzah for fanfiction, the only form of romance I actually care about! Why slash fics are interesting while traditional romance bores me, I can't say. I still prefer deep intimacy in nonsexual, non-romantic forms (close friendships, sibling bonds), to the point where I created a whole fic form to showcase that ("Five Moments of Intimacy"), but I can tolerate way more romantic content in slash than I ever could in mainstream fiction of any sort 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yeah. The key is not so much 'stillness and seriousness' so much as where the energy needs to be re-directed and focused. A good essayist may use a calmer 'sit and talk' segment when they want to focus the attention on very specific points within their words, want to put focus on intonation (to emphasize emotion or feeling in a section) or what not. And they will also understand that they can't JUST sit and talk - they need to break things up to avoid attention fatigue, to highlight section breaks or tone changes, etc.

I'd like to see Wilt You Marry Me? The main characters can be say, Will and Lilit. Lilit runs a flower shop. The plotline can be Wedding Blues and trying to rekindle their relationship.

Great video! This is a representation of how to best use AI as an artist. It generates ideas, maybe a rough draft, but the the artists still do most of the work. No more staring at the blank page for hours.

Sabrina, my girl, if you love romcoms go watch Kaguya-sama. Even if you don't like anime it is the single greatest rom-com series ever made. It's funny, wholesome and you just want to show at the two leads "JUST ADMIT IT ALREADY YOU IDIOTS!"

@Blex_040 6 месяцев назад

Hard agree! When she talked about how romcoms died, my mind went immediately to anime and to the best romcom to date aka Kaguya-sama: Love is War! Romcoms might have died in Hollywood, but it doesn't matter since Japan does them better either way

Additional recommendation for Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, which is about a girl who falls in love with a guy she then discovers is writing her favorite shoujo manga under a female pen name. It has what I consider to be one of the boldest endings to any rom-com ever.

Rom com died just in Hollywood. Korean doramas are a huge sucess in Netflix. At least with Brazilian women. Exemple of great rom com is Crash is landing on you, where the protagonist accidentally falls at North Korean and her romantic interest there helps her to escape back to South Korea alive.

LOVE where this video ended up! and the inclusion of Adam Conover in the conversation to talk about the WGA stuff was definitely important ✨ also, how you described the writers room at the end - that's what playing DnD or another ttrpg with a really great group of role players is like. BIG recommend 😄

As an artist who's work has been fed into AI without concent, I'd be super interested if you could speak a little about AI art. There are a lot of paralells to writing and a lot of interesting stories going on :)

@eamonryan5581 6 месяцев назад

I'm sorry but something's up here. The title of the video has changed like four times as well as the thumbnail. If you're reading this right now and the title does not read, "Hollywood ruined love stories, here's why", then it has changed again. If anything, this just proves that I have way too much time on my hands.

@jonaswolthaus1901 6 месяцев назад

I feel like the rom-coms themselves also change. Just like you said about the power-dynamic in the actor-prompt, audiences have changed. What we want out of new cheesy movies can't happen the exact same way. If Notting Hill didn't exist, it wouldn't work today as a new film, I think. A story can't be that simple anymore. BUT I also have sort of a solution. Take "Babyteeth", an Australian coming of age arthouse film. It's about a girl that has cancer for a very long time and builds up strange but realistic connections to her mother, step-father, a piano teacher, the neighbours and a drug dealer. It all sounds so incredibly weird, but that is also what made it feel realistic. It breaths regular life. Because life just kind of happens. For rom-coms to get the same kind of attention by the public as it used to, I think it needs a bit more of that real-life feeling. No random shenanigans driven by the fact that the people would be polar opposites on paper. Make it be about two friends who fall in love after not seeing each other for a few years. Or about how two people find each other in an interest they both didn't know they have, after which they fall in love because apparently they are more alike than they think. My two main points are this: make a love story a tiny bit more realistic. And for once Hollywood has to just look around because have you ever heard real life love stories? So much of those are so good to make a movie about
