Lately I've been working with AI. I've been told that it could completely take over and revolutionize the entire entertainment industry. Maybe that's true or maybe it's not, but either way we should all see just how this AI stuff operates if only so we can better understand what it does and what it's capable of doing. I've seen it used in some commercials and Youtube channels so I can already see some of its potential. But, after working with it for a bit, I can tell you that so far it's a ridiculous headache.
For those who've never done it: AI basically operates by something called a "prompt". You have to type out in as much important detail as possible exactly what you want to see and/or hear. You can even upload any photographs or drawings of your own as "visual aids" for the AI program to use. But, so far for me, typing anything into these prompts is like asking an idiot to move my couch. You tell him "...I just want you to move it from this corner to that corner..." Despite your very concise instructions, he's shoving your couch up the wall, through the wall, out the window, he's throwing the cushions at the cat... pretty much anything but those (what you thought were) very simple instructions to understand.
Do you remember that movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Remember how upset the director Raoul J Raoul got when Roger saw tweeting birds instead of stars? Imagine how upset he'd be watching the following AI messes I made.
I'll show you the visual aids I drew up that I hoped would help the AI program understand exactly what I wanted:
The set up was simple. Vladimir Putin is standing there. My boy Avery walks in with a mallet and konks him on the head with it. Putin then staggers around in a daze with a bump on his head and Avery exits the scene laughing. I thought that was easy enough for the program to understand. However, below are several examples of the program delivering what IT thought I wanted. The results speak for themselves.
