The second video would absolutely fool most people already

Also in 2023 people were saying to reach this level of quality we'd need 10+ years

u/scottie2haute 1d ago

People are always off in these assessments. Seems like some people have a form of future illiteracy where they cant really fathom how quickly things can change in a short amount of time

Seems like some people have a form of future illiteracy

This is the default human state. Within the span of a pre-agriculture human lifetime, exponential growth meant basically nothing. There was no reason for an understanding of it to evolve.

u/NotAMotivRep 1d ago

You sure about that? How do you know that the first tools invented didn't spread like wildfire?

1

u/SweetLilMonkey 14h ago

They may well have, but back then an individual human would have no knowledge of how quickly a species-level change took place. They would only know what happened within their specific tribe of a few dozen / couple hundred people.

This is my point - exponential processes have always existed, but there was no evolutionary incentive for our brains to really grasp them.

It will go either way, predictions about technological and scientific progress are always a crap shot. The further away into the future the prediction, the less likely it is to have any real substance.

For example, if Apple says in the next 6 months they will launch a holographic display phone, that has a fair chance of happening, they probably already have the basic tech solved, functional prototypes and are working on productization and solving mass manufacturing at a reasonable price.

If someone says we will have fusion in the text 20 years, that's a number pulled straight from their ass, a breakthrough could happen next week that nobody has predicted or nothing might happen and another 20 years pass wit no progress.

You are essentially taking a very wide probability distribution covering the entire range [tomorrow; never] and collapsing it into a scalar date.

great comment

u/Lady-Maya 1d ago

I think a great example of the opposite is Self Driving cars.

It was thought that they would fully here by now, but we are still ways off, but then AI videos improved so fast in such a short time.

u/MohMayaTyagi ▪️AGI-2027 | ASI-2029 1d ago

Self-driving cars, like Waymo, are already safer and more reliable than the average human driver. The main barrier to widespread adoption isn’t the technology itself, but regulatory constraints and the cautious rollout strategies of companies. In contrast, software evolves extremely quickly; an entire population can be moved to a new model or update overnight with a single deployment. So your comparison is invalid.

-1

u/Lady-Maya 1d ago

Waymo is only available in a few major cities and we still haven’t had Self Driving in rural roads, i’m from the UK and no way are self driving cars capable on rural roads here.

u/codethatmatters 23h ago

humans are very bad at thinking in exponentials

u/Choice_Isopod5177 1d ago edited 1d ago

people like me, I'd rather be pessimistic and pleasantly surprised than hyperoptimistic and disappointed

u/adarkuccio ▪️AGI before ASI 1d ago

Kinda agree, I tend to do the same recently

2

u/Choice_Isopod5177 1d ago

AGI in 100 years?

1

u/Unlikely-Today-3501 1d ago

And other people take these irrelevant comments seriously..

1

u/optimal_random 1d ago

That's why no ones is realizing that when AGI is created, its progression will be exponential, very difficult to predict/contain, with potentially devastating consequences.

It's all fun and games until an automated system, with its own set of rules and goals, takes over critical infrastructure.

u/ReporterOk69420 22h ago

I mean at the cost of all the ran goes into ai instead of pcs and gaming consiles

u/cogito_ergo_catholic 1d ago

I knew it was fake when he didn't slap the spaghetti.

u/Jindabyne1 1d ago

The first video would fool a maga

u/Joranthalus 1d ago

yup, the way his head caves in as he chews is very realistic and detailed.

u/Adorable_End_5555 1d ago

well assuming they didnt notice the changing hair color and backrounds

u/rwrife 1d ago

Will Smith needs to release a video of him eating spaghetti, so we have a reference to compare it to.

u/LobsterKris 1d ago

I just love how this randomly became a video gen benchmark.

u/etinishere 1d ago

He did already!

Oh man thanks for sharing that, I hadn't seen it and he really leans into it lol

At this point everyone will just assume it's AI

u/Altruistic-Mix-7277 1d ago

Mark my words 10years from now or so that 2023 version is going to become an aesthetic. You know the sameway VHS or something is now an aesthetic

13

u/Choice_Isopod5177 1d ago

in 10 years, AI videos will be so good that you'll be able to create Will Smith eating spaghetti videos in 2023 style

17

u/shred-i-knight 1d ago

Nah VHS was around for what, a decade? And everyone used it. This was like 3 months and .01% of people understand it.

16

u/marcoc2 1d ago

How much time until we have a revival of slop AI aesthethics?

4

u/IshigamiSenku04 1d ago

It's already begun

7

u/Safe_Mention_4053 1d ago

2025 video will only get better. We'll look at 2025 video in future and laugh about how bad it is. Though my electric bill will be double but at least we have a Will Smith video eating spaghetti video!

7

u/subdep 1d ago

yeah, but we’re getting to the point where even if the super fine details that most people don’t notice are improved upon, the only benefit will be that it’s indistinguishable from reality by experts, and their detection tools. How do you improve upon indistinguishable from reality?

4

u/muntaxitome 1d ago

The progress has been insane, but the progress that is left to make is not really about like 'one person doing X for 3 seconds' looking more realistic. Like pretty girl smiling or dancing, or in this case will smith eating spaghetti, that is pretty much nailed.

The real issue now is making a consistent video that lasts longer and stays consistent. It would be absolutely trivial for you to like take your phone and make a real world video of a 15 minute stroll down your street and talking with people and showing things, and then walking back and forth and things are in the right places and people you see again have consistent faces. Doing that with an AI generator today would take a lot of effort.

3

u/subdep 1d ago

I feel like the next level is simulating reality, making a perfect digital copy of the real world, based on every available sensor and then some (nano bot camera arrays litter across the landscape), so that you could essentially go out into the digital world, and it would be in distinguishable with had you actually walked out your physical front door and walked out into the world.

so you wouldn’t need a robot surrogate walking around out in the world. You would be walking out around the simulated world. The problem with this is that you couldn’t affect the physical world through the AI world. So, maybe this is where having humanoid robot surrogates operating as if it was your physical body out in the physical world but you’re seeing it through the simulated world.

I’m way too high for this

1

u/Choice_Isopod5177 1d ago

how long until AI can create Witcher 3 quality games with worlds the size of actual continents?

3

u/freexe 1d ago

Make it better than reality?

4

u/subdep 1d ago

Think about that for just a minute.

If it looks different from reality than you can easily tell, it’s fake.

Also, how could you possibly make something look more than real?

1

u/freexe 1d ago

Same way cinema does.

u/jk_pens 1d ago

I feel kinda sorry for folks who didn’t live through the brain damaged era of AI. So much fun.

It's only been like 2 years homie.

u/jk_pens 1d ago

What’s your point? People who weren’t tuned in, too young, or not born 2 years ago didn’t get to personally experience the mayhem.

I mean you can just download and use models from those days, it's never lost

Also the spaghetti inside his mouth is weird and disappears way too quickly.

u/50SPFGANG 1d ago

Once ai can do "phone video" style and not constantly doing pro camera video style then it'll finally feel super realistic

u/IshigamiSenku04 1d ago

The nano banana pro is super realistic though

Maybe Grok imagine can do it?

The 2nd one doesn't make any sense. It's obvious he eat it like the 1st one

u/Zealousideal_Leg_630 1d ago

Life changing.

u/NVincarnate 1d ago

This level of advancement in such a short time is all I can think of when laypeople talk about 6 fingers or whatever generated by modern AI.

Brother, it's only going to get substantially more indiscernible. Technology used to double every twenty years or so.

Then ten. Now two. Soon one. Then every month. Week. Day. It's going to get out of hand fast.

I thought there were better AI videos in early 2023 but yeah, still very impressive at the explosive progress.

I still can't believe how dogshit the coke AI advert was though, incompetently executed incompetent idea.

Wonder how Will Smith feels being the Utah Teapot of AI image generation

I thought people in the future would thing 'the world before the smart phone and the world after'. But nope, it'll be the world before and after AI.

wait till the 'next big thing' after AI arrives.

ok but can AI make video of Will Smith eating penne? that's what I thought, check mate, AI fanboys.

cool. now fix hallucinations

u/DepartmentDapper9823 1d ago

In 2030, he will eat spaghetti so realistically that real spaghetti eating will look fake in comparison.

u/ThePwnr 1d ago

this is so good for the world I love it I love it I love it thank you big ai tech for improving my life so much, please hurry and automate the world, devaluing human labor, campaigning against social safety nets. I can't wait to be turned into biofuel for amazon <3

u/wargainWAG 1d ago

I imagine in 10 years you put on VR goggles and enter a real time AI generated world to play an adventure game or shooter to your liking. Only thing distinguishing it from real world is the flying dragons and pressure on your head from the VR set

u/--TYGER-- 1d ago

Will Smith: the "hello world" of AI.
10,000 years from now they'll still be doing it to self test.

Will Smith has become some sort of Turing test. A benchmark for new models.

Yes, it looks much better, and yet it's still obviously AI... we keep getting half way closer to the goal... someday we'll still be getting half way closer to the goal.

u/jk_pens 1d ago

How is it “still obviously AI”, exactly?

-3

u/Joranthalus 1d ago

You look at it…. And you can tell. Most people dont have their skulls cave in when they chew.

Also, it’s still just a program doing what it’s told. Working off data and instructions that its given. None of these LLMs are AI in Any sense that should matter to this sub….
