No need to fret, this is the worst it's going to be. Remember, Will Smith + Spaghetti videos?

Wasn’t that a different level of challenge? It was easy to call out the problems with it and recognize gaps to close. With Seedance 2.5, I’m not sure how I’d describe it other than “looking like AI video and all AI video is inherently off-putting”. People smarter than me are working on this but I’d be surprised if it ever actually became tolerable to look at it.

The bicycle was improved a lot when it was created but did changed a little since then too

yeah we got automobile, motorcycles, planes, lot of stuff since then

It could also still be the best it's ever going to be.

unlikely unless they ban capitalism

Unfortunately trillions of dollars have been invested to ensure that's not the case..

Anybody old enough to remember when https://imagen.research.google/video/ was SOTA?

do you remember that article from google where it would hallucinate as if it was on acid/psychedelics and people going crazy saying this is the AI "imagining reality" and then shortly after some Googler went on a very brief media tour saying LLMs were sentient?

its crazy how much people extrapolate, the consensus back then was "cute but we won't get there" then suddenly we got GPT 3.0, 4o, 5.x, seedance

what people really underestimate is how much faster progress is now with AI

That phase was amazing, lots of crazy animal faces in iridescent paisley :)

The last 1% of progress will take 99% of the time.

we are not even half way there lol
