AI-generated videos!

THIS IS A SERIOUS WARNING: go to the bathroom before seeing these videos, and don't drink anything while watching them. I am not responsible if you spray beverages on top of your monitor or computer!

The first two are embedded in Ars Technica articles, the third in a Tweet.

First up, a 30 second beer commercial:

Next, we have Wil Smith eating spaghetti:

And finally, Pepperoni Hug Spot: "It's like family, but more cheese."

At first I thought, how does AI work with actors, and then quickly I realized those weren't real people. :o

Looks like robots are having a hard time understanding where food and drinks go into a human body, LOL. That's especially obvious with the spaghetti, poor Will! :)

But they are learning, right? Babies make similar mistakes when given "adult food" for the first time :)

Very true!  Yes, slowly but surely AI things will improve.  But man, these things are funny!

It's so... hellishly horrible.

Yep, Salvador Dali in charge of a commercial's production.

Those are certainly the kinds of things that make our surrealists happy. And perhaps that beer video should be the one that everyone adopts instead of shooting up cases of piss-water with their overpowered murder machines because someone suggested that trans people might enjoy drinking bad beer as well.

Besides, weren't we supposed to be worried about the tools that were putting Daisy Ridley's face on porn stars and trying to mimic her voice? Or the ones that would make the last administrator look and sound like a competent leader?

As far as making our previous leader competent, it'll be a century before that happens. :-)
