ted (not lasso)

strong opinion, loosely held: AI-generated videos of humans (today) are a huge unlock AND still feel v uncompelling relative to the best creators sure it may work fine for product marketing videos rn and it’ll get magnitudes better but i’m skeptical it will ever match what makes most influencers so influential

> but i’m skeptical it will ever match what makes most influencers so influential I'd take the other side of this bet.

The most famous Japanese vocals is estimated to have a net worth between $100-$250 Million Dollars. We ain’t seen nothing yet. And Ado, who is a faceless singer who is completely anonymous, grossed about $50M since hitting the scene in 2020. The stage is set for anons and non humans to thrive. https://media.tenor.com/8JhcC4OtwC8AAAAC/hatsune-miku-dance

I think they’ll coexist Tools like Veo are opening up entirely new formats like videos of things that could never exist (all of the recent “AI vlogs”) Have you seen those? Pretty entertaining

Deepfakes are clunky now, but once their fidelity increases, many people will start choosing them over the real deal. It’s like music; folks once swore live shows were unbeatable. Now we know: sometimes the recording hits harder than the concert ever did.

have you seen lil miquela https://www.instagram.com/lilmiquela/?hl=en She was created with manual effort, not AI (bespoke 3D rendering, motion capture etc.) but is proof imo that non-human creators can be a separate category altogether

i agree but the next gen always proves such assertions false b/c shifts happen. gen alpha will do that to us ie "what it means to be an influencer" will evolve with these these models/new platforms(mebbe)... something along lines of we shape our tools, in turn they shape us. recent tool: https://seed.bytedance.com/en/seedance

depends on how steady our sense of relationships are I remember thinking that watching someone play video games was so much less compelling than playing them myself, and yet twitch is what it is now I think the ai influencer question comes down to whether we will feel like we have the type of surrogate relationship with AI that we currently do with mass influencers imo it will shift (and likely already is) with generations

how many months do you think until the gap between AI and top influencers will be close? https://farcaster.xyz/eirrann.eth/0x32cdcdc1

Can’t we not make the AI influencer, though? I actually think once you build some personality into it, you might just find a great unlock.

Agree, been playing around with VEO3 and most example I see are just copies of what the usual influencers do, nothing original that is sticking yet. Its also very hard to make a very consistent character every time.
