Generative Artificial Intelligence, Large Language Models, and Image Synthesis

Continuity seems like the easiest part to get right. Internal consistency and coherence merely require the careful application of logical rules. Machines are better at this than humans.

A more likely failure mode is cringe: that AI will produce some absurd dialogue that would never come from the mouth of a human or unnatural action by a character. AI models still have not fully grasped all the nuances of human behavior that actual humans know intuitively, even if they can’t verbalize them.

What machines? Hardcoded machines, yes. Generative AI? Will a boat look the same in one scene v. another? You would have to train the AI to use a solid modeling system like the movie and video game industry has used for a few years and stick with it.

I hope Elon is going to have a human review the dialogue (both written and as voiced) and instruct the AI on any revisions. I believe you and I have discussed a text-to-speech YouTube video that referred to a ship’s “bow” with pronunciation corresponding to a bow-tie.

That can be part of the instructions to the AI. Alternatively, the final product can be checked for continuity in various aspects by machine explicitly. Insuring continuity is a mechanistic process: go through the images and make sure the ship is consistent. Do the same with character’s clothing, etc. Unlike filmed, live-action cinema, it’s easy to fix such errors in computer generated images.

It’s the dialog and the behavioral details where the AI can run aground, to further the ship imagery. Interesting examples:

It's really fun to direct a character's emotion in Grok Imagine.

All four of these videos are the same scene, the only thing that changes is the performance.

Everyone should buy a Mac Neo! This is consumer advice!

It will be interesting to see if Tesla can catch up to Unitree Robotics – not that the outcome will be any different either way, given that Musk’s got brain parasites that have eaten the part that can think about this:

It’s virtually certain that his brain parasites think they can take the money and run to The Middleman* Kingdom and buy protection – which The Middleman Kingdom will be glad to sell them.

* This particular kind of middleman is quite good at reselling intellectual property at a tidy profit.

Anthropic just got caught secretly downgrading users without telling them, charging full price for a lesser product, and storing every prompt for 30 days. The developer community is calling it the biggest violation of trust in AI history.

Here is exactly what happened.… pic.twitter.com/jlHMxtPUcM

a plaintiff in a case before him included “hidden text” in court filings meant to serve as instructions to any AI system reviewing the documents.
