> I fully support the author’s point

I don't. I think the world is falling into two camps with these tools and models.

> I now circle back to my main point: I have never seen any form of create generative model output (be that image, text, audio, or video) which I would rather see than the original prompt. The resulting output has less substance than the prompt and lacks any human vision in its creation. The whole point of making creative work is to share one’s own experience

Strong disagree with Clayton's conclusion.

We just made this with AI, and I'm pretty sure you don't want to see the raw inputs unless you're a creator:

I think the world will be segregated into two types of AI user:

- Those that use the AI as a complete end-to-end tool

- Those that leverage the AI as tool for their own creativity and workflows, that use it to enhance the work they already do

The latter is absolutely a great use case for AI.

I am not a creator but I am interested in generative AI capabilities and their limits, and I even suffered through the entire video which tries to be funny, but really isn't (and it'd be easier to skim through as a script than the full video).

So even in this case, I would be more interested in the prompt than in this video.


Yes, depending on the model being used, endless text of this flavor isn't all that compelling to read:

"Tall man, armor that is robotic and mechanical in appearance, NFL logo on chest, blue legs".,

And so on, embedded in node wiring diagrams to fiddly configs and specialized models for bespoke purposes, "camera" movements, etc.


TBH, this video is not that compelling either, though — obviously — I am aware that others might have a different opinion.

Seeing this non-compelling prompt would tell me right off the bat that I wouldn't be interested in the video either.


> The latter is absolutely a great use case for AI.

The video is not exactly great, IMO.
