Taking a break from my ComfyUI course - 
- to share this (AI discussion starting at 36:00).
Whether heās right or wrong, I appreciate the break from what feels like constant AI doom.
Hey thanks for this link. Very good talk.
Ehh!
and this might as well be an ad for Home Depot, except none of you worked on it. Just a dude in his undies.
I feel like every medium has its place. The most successful uses of AI I see are the self-aware and humorous videos (think @randy and his talking animals). The overly dark and serious stuff (or god forbid, like that WWI video, something thatās trying to portray some heavy didactic message) always feel like an unwitting self-parody to me.
@BrittCiampa - the long term threat is the ability of anyone to re-write history, or worse, the present in a compelling way.
So Weavy with less tools?
All of these pieces are more and more impressive. But theyāre mostly akin to spectacular mood boards, or even well constructed visual narratives for a few minutes. But show me a 7 minute dialog scene between a couple discussing an abortion. Or any believable and compelling emotion or interaction between two believable human beings. The rest is super useful, but without the core itās just pretty pictures.
We shall see. I may eat my words. But not very soon.
2 years or less. Sushi at Hama?
Well Hama is supported by the creative entertainment industry who lives here, so if you are correct, there will be no Hama for us to meet at.
Then it will be a cheap date.
In my whacky world of agency life, with AI supportive clients begging us to find new ways to tell new stories, and a super savvy agency creatives, I havenāt done a job without AI elements since March.
From using image editing to turn trees into complex ciphers for a video treasure hunt, repurposing library footage for seasonal updates, building custom backgrounds forgoing the typical bullshit expensive and wrong stock options for social green screens with glam squads, to fully ai one off scenes with historical characters, to fully AI spots with historical vehicles that would be unachievable and astronomical to produce given traditional pipelines, to training centimeter accurate product models unlocking a new wave of opportunities for the adventurous: itās here and moving the needle quickly and with vigor.
Every show for me needs a flame op with minor to major AI chopsā¦Seedream, Nano Banana, Qwen Image Edit, basic Comfy with LoRAs, a little bit of Control Net.
I am desperate for Flame Artists who understand what it means to make great pictures, deliver exceptional experiences for ambitious creatives, and can make something from nothing.
Here! 
I donāt doubt at all everything you said about the many uses,and I support it. My comment is about producing compelling full narratives with believable human, emotional dialog, for a full movie or even less ā that I havenāt yet seen evidence of.
