I watched the most popular and most recent videos of each channel to compare, and they were all awful:
> Bots in the Hall
* voices don't match the mouth movements * mouth movements are poorly animated * hand/body movements are "fuzzy" with weird artifacts * characters stare in the wrong direction when talking * characters never move * no scenes over 3 seconds in length between cuts
> Neural Viz
* animations and backgrounds are dull * mouth movements are uncanny * "dead eyes" when showing any emotions * text and icons are poorly rendered
> The Meat Dept video for Igorrr's ADHD
This one I can excuse a bit since it's a music video, and for the sake of "artistic interpretation", but:
* continuation issues between shots * inconsistent visual style across shots * no shots longer then 4 seconds between cuts * rendered text is illegible/nonsensical * movement artifacts
You're just one person, those people have their own audiences; so your own critique, is just your own critique. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that it is not resonating well with others. I can tell you from the research I am doing for several hours per day on ai-filmmaking that there are already a few handful of creators making a living from this; with communities behind them that keep growing, and their audiences that keep expanding (some already have 100k to 1m subscribers across different social media channels). Some of them are even striking brand deals.
Entire narrative driven AI stores that are driven by AI stories and AI characters in AI generated universes... they are here already, but I can only count those who do it well on two hands (last year, there where 1-2). This is going to accelerate, and if you think its "slop" now, it just takes a few iterations of artists who you personally resonate with to jump onto this, before you stop seeing it as slop. I am jumping on this, because I can see very clearly where this will all lead. You don't have to like it, but it will arrive regardless.
