“Text-to-video AI generating tools have come a long way. Just three years ago,
we were all unsettled by grisly clips of actor Will Smith's face morphing while
"eating" a moving pile of spaghetti.
Thanks to major leaps in the tech, these tools can now generate photorealistic
fake footage at the drop of a hat — which could have devastating implications
for efforts to keep disinformation at bay.
However, those who are heavily invested in AI are welcoming the rapid
unraveling of truth as AI slop continues to flood the internet. Case in point:
Andreessen Horowitz partner Justine Moore, who recently boasted that the
venture capital firm-backed Black Forest Labs' Flux 3 AI tool — which launched
in late July — was "exceptional at generating historical footage."
Moore shared a 20-second clip of "elementary school students in the '90s
predicting how we'll use computers." On the surface, it seems like a feel-good
narrative of young kids accurately forecasting major advances in tech.
"They'll probably do our homework," one of the AI-generated children said in
the clip.
"Maybe they'll make movies for us," another fictional child added, perfectly
echoing Hollywood executives' desires to turn the entertainment industry into a
slop factory.”
