‘It’s over for us’: release of new AI video generator Seedance 2.0 spooks Hollywood
Poppycock. The reason people watch a movie or TV is because they want to see real people doing real-world things that emotionally move them. And even in the cases where it’s a 3D-animated character or all animation, we can feel the humanity of the artistry and the creative talent behind the artifact.
There’s actually no proof anyone wants to “watch slop.” On the contrary, every time a slop advertisement or short narrative video is posted online, it is roasted into oblivion. The market just isn’t there.
The Motion Picture Association (MPA), the Hollywood trade association, accused ByteDance of “unauthorised use of US copyrighted works on a massive scale”.
ByteDance: “Yeah, so? Not everything needs authorization. We do not need authorization to say that you suck.”
We must never forget that the MPAA and RIAA are villain organizations. They do not serve the interests of consumers. They have been enemies of the Internet at large since the Internet.
As much as I hate AI slop, the MPAA deserves zero sympathy.
