    “twice as fast and at half the cost of previous options.”

    This means they are going also half the subscription cost any day now, just you wait. It will totally happen. Totally. For sure.

    The big question is: Could cutting edge LMM’s make Netflix content less shit?

      More likely they’ll use it to make even worse content a lot faster.

        I have never seen something generated by AI and thought it had any quality at all.

          I once saw a yakuza hitman killed, and then reborn as his arch nemesis’ son. It was the ultimate revenge because he had full access to the breasts of the wife of his nemesis.

          Absolutely hilarious. Not sure if it would have been made without AI being accessible.

        I remember reading somewhere that Netflix produced shows needs to cater to “second monitor” usage, or passive watching. As in constantly repeating plot points, simpler plot, anything that makes it easy to follow something while doing anything else

        AI slop is just another way they do it. Even better, no need to deal with pesky actor unions or production unions and other such annoying anticapitalist things.

      Noup, because LLMs give out avarage based on the training data. If training data is shit, like Netflix’s avarage content already is, it will always give out shit.

    So evidently, people either can’t tell when AI is being used or don’t care when AI is being used.

      It was always going to be the case that AI additions to media would eventually be unnoticed, it not being declared beforehand out of fear that it will lead to negative reactions is the very telling point.

      People care if it’s used, and those who want to profit from its use by removing artists and other workers know that they can’t profit if we know it’s there.

      They don’t share viewing numbers for a reason.

      We might realize we all only watch 4 shows on repeat and spend the rest of the time scrolling past all the slop.

      Not directly, but it’ll give a sense of cheapness and sameness to their product.
