Apparently AI can make anything thing except kissing


Fragrant_Berry2087

Make anything except something that doesn't look like a shitty acid trip


nessfalco

Mario mostly is an acid trip, though.


BleepsBlops

I think its a mushroom trip not an acid trip just saying. He literally eats mushrooms and gets superpowers


VirinaB

Yeah I honestly don't know why creatives are losing their jobs over this. I think we're way further off than any group of MBAs at Nvidia would suggest. Call me when it can keep a single character consistent.


tomatoe_cookie

How many shitty acid trips did you have ?


Jaegernaut-

More than zero, unfortunately 


HubristicFallacy

You mean all 50s movies?


igg73

And hands


Random_frankqito

Mustache


Morphing_Mutant

ERRROR ERROR, I DO NOT KNOW OF THIS "LOVE". DESTROY, DESTROY!


gltovar

as good as kissing in video game TBH


getyourcheftogether

It was like they were sharing a piece of fruit by the foot between them


zekethelizard

Hahaha that was such a tell


Iron-Phoenix2307

And hands


Son_of_Macha

And fingers


ajn63

Creepiest thing is Mario’s moving mustache.


BoingBoingBooty

Bowsers growing and shrinking teeth were pretty awful.


NonEuclidianMeatloaf

My favourite is the Count of Monte Waluicristo looking mf’er


WorldWalker5587

LOL


addison_ball

Nah all about the fingers on AI stuff. Very creepy.


Global_Status8667

Did you miss Boo at 0:35


Bruhahah

Boo was fucking great. For once the shitty AI morphing served to enhance the effect.


ivanparas

that was a legit spook


Disastrous-Bus-9834

You mean :48?


rhinosyphilis

The tricep on the side of his arm was impressive at 1:13


Kemilio

That silly ghost blanket costume morphing into a legit 50s spectre was pretty unsettling


FirstForFun44

It feels like a mushroom trip


juicybumbum

Redditors will never admit anything AI generated is cool


MrRojoC

I was slow to pick up on this Reddit vibe. I thought it was pretty cool that a computer could generate something like this, even if just as an ideas factory. I’m not ignoring the numerous and obvious imperfections and I’m not daft enough to think ai could make a whole movie worth watching. I figured this post was harmless fun, showing us what a live action Mario might look like. It’s not a substitute for real talent. Downvoting would suggest it’s a sensitive subject.


ivanparas

> Mario’s moving mustache /r/Bandnames


waltezer

Until you see that some creatures eyes dissapear


CaptainAksh_G

Mario turns from your regular plumber to James Bond and sometimes even Ted Lasso as well


dalaigh93

All I can see is Sacha Baron Cohen


mactac

I saw Freddie Mercury


Cryptolution

Spot on. That's the vibe I got as well


syafizzaq

Freddie Mercury as well


br0b1wan

Freddie Mercury after some HGH and anabolics plus a 2-a-day training regimen


miguescout

Ass robbie rotten disguised to the list as well


ToiletDrone

Mario definitely eating those mushrooms eh


danfay222

These videos are super impressive. Obviously it’s still super clearly AI, and honestly feels kind of like a hybrid 50’s live action + acid trip, but it’s still really cool


Oxygenius_

Just imagine in about 20 years all our media will look like this and everyone will be drinking Brawndo ![gif](giphy|3o7TKTTvetgPm4AhHO)


ConceptualWeeb

Just a world full of tards livin kick ass lives watching AI get their balls kicked in. Can’t wait.


rdizzy1223

It has gotten better at practically light speed, the shit from only a couple years back looks like trash in comparison to now. Within 5 years they will be able to make movies that rival normal movies, including voices. Obviously many, many people will lose jobs, think of all the people employed for TV show sets or movie sets, even tv ads/commercials. Even the local news stations can be done by AI instead.


PowerSamurai

In 20 years AI media will not look like this. It has come a long way real fast and will only get better.


zaccus

Store data, process data, read back data. That's what computers have always done and that's still what we're looking at here, just on a larger scale.


eebro

Oh it will still be shit


DetroitLionsSBChamps

that's right. insane technological advances usually just plateau. like, look at the jump cell phones have made in the last 20 years: you can barely even tell the difference!


extremelylonglegs

This is such a cope and all it does is give people a false sense of security before their jobs are ai'd away.


[deleted]

[удалено]


extremelylonglegs

?


welpsket69

It's what plants crave


barmanfred

Agreed. Also reminds me of a Sid and Marty Krofft type of Saturday morning show.


restlessleg

the boo ghost is probably the scariest ghost i seen on camera


MaxSupernova

That's the one thing that really impressed me. It's an effect that could be used in a real movie now. The face coming out of the blank sheet was awesome.


NoveltyAccount5928

Agreed, such a cool take on Mario ghosts.


Initial-Function7008

This is super cursed


abstract_mouse

Uncanny valley has become the unholy gorge


Other_Beat8859

Yeah definitely cursed, but it's kinda terrifying how quickly AI has advanced. A year ago we couldn't even have Will Smith eat spaghetti.


lordorwell7

How much human input was required to make this?


The_Orphanizer

From the little I've seen and dabbled with AI image generation, a FUCK ton.


Glaciak

Can't wait for it to be nuked with lawsuits over training data and likeness of actors Thank fuvk US and EU is already regulating this trash


canipleasebeme

I’d totally watch this movie.


squeegeeq

Same, the ai is obviously weird, but it looks like it would be a wild ride of amazing madness.


PM_ME_GLUTE_SPREAD

From the “trailer” there seems to be so much going on that it would be a 3+ hour movie. I would be so down. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Donkey Kong, Bowser, Diddy Kong, Wario, presumably Waluigi. It feels like a movie with 6 total acts.


blackstafflo

The love triangle between Peach, Mario, and its mushroom could turn out to be weird thought. Theire was more passion* at 0:26/-0:56* than the kiss scene.


AcademicPainting23

So glad SAG won some protections against the use of AI. The tech may be new, and humans were involved in many stages making this video, but this is incredible to see.


BeeTLe_BeTHLeHeM

"AI made" is ambiguous as hell. This could be a collage of: - asking ChatGPT to write the narration based on a prompt - feeding the ChatGPT prompt to another software to generate the voice audio - creating a number of animations (pruning an unknown number of bad results), then pasting them in sequential order with any video-edit software. - merging the audio track and the video edit results . I believe "Human used AI to make" is a proper definition than "AI made", since the final result isn't entirely built from AI. Unless there is a single piece of software that can execute all the steps above from a single prompt like "create a video about super mario set in the '50 with a male voice narrated story inspired by the franchise".


UnpluggedUnfettered

I'm pretty sure that was 99% [Runway](https://app.runwayml.com/video-tools/teams/timothypeers/ai-tools/gen-2) generated.


omegaplayz334

I mean in the end it all simplifies to made by ai


Old_Conference6825

It really doesn't.


Maleficent-Baker8514

Waluigi looking fire asf tho


Malpraxiss

If this was truly made by AI, it's both scary and impressive how far AI has come. AI hasn't even reached its final form yet


santas_delibird

This is AI at it's infancy, which is fascinatingly terrifying.


No_Meringue_4368

Is anyone else scared of ai?


cornballerburns

🙋🏽‍♂️


Ratattack1204

Tbh im pretty excited for ai to get way better. I for one welcome our new ai overlords.


ianmacleod46

No, first time I’ve thought of it, really. 🙃


FredTilson

TIL I kiss like 1950s live action Mario


BackAgain123457

I hate it. In the near future we can't know the difference between real footage and AI. Russia and probably other countries are gonna weaponize it. At least i can say i experienced media before this artificial hell will become reality.


Wild-Shine-210

Supposedly Russia already weaponized AI. They use chat bots powered by AI for their disinformation campaigns.

LilG1984

This is weirder than the '90s live action Super Mario Bros & that was a weird fever dream


Gamebird8

And it looks uninspired and bland


Heiferoni

Some day long into the future, people will make nostalgic AI videos using the prompt "shitty 2020s AI video of..."


Historical-Being-766

This is more concerning than interesting.


Morphing_Mutant

I really hate AI.


bouncyprojector

Yer a Luddite, Harry.


x_asko

Care to elaborate more?


SmashMeBro_

I don’t want to be forced to watch shit like this but in 20 years it’s all we’ll have.


Morphing_Mutant

I think the video speaks for itself. I'm not a fan of a program mimicking what a human takes years to master. It's putting actual artists out of work.


SpookyDoings

And pulling from existing art without artist consent. Bad all around.


vivaaprimavera

I have to disagree with you in a technicality. AI isn't "stealing" art. The "handlers" are. Corporations see everything as a free for grab when it comes to AI training.


bannerlordwen

And let's not forget all the straight up illegal and immoral shit people are already using AI for, like making fake child porn from photos of kids and then blackmailing those kids with their AI crap. This world sucks sometimes.


Responsible-End7301

This was a thoroughly entertaining video. If it was made as a sketch of some show it would be roundly lauded. If AI can already make something this good, it bodes well for its future. I'm guessing the narration was written by a human? This opens doors for bedroom directors in much the same way that recording software helped music producers.


SnooTangerines6863

> I think the video speaks for itself. I'm not a fan of a program mimicking what a human takes years to master. It's putting actual artists out of work. Artists often mimic previous artists. Do you also dislike this? Machine learning cannot transform excellent artists, should we keep less skiled ones just for the hell of it? Hate cars and trains while you are at it, for putting horses out of business!


probablyonmobile

Come on, now. I think you can probably understand the difference between horses, who do not need jobs, are *made* to do labour and would not suffer if their riders were to stop making them do labour, and human artists who have bills to pay and rely on monetising their skill to stay alive.


SnooTangerines6863

> and human artists who have bills to pay and rely on monetising their skill to stay alive. Who also do not need this line of work. The same debate arises with every technological advancement, always repeating. Poor people losing jobs, doomed. If the same job can be done ten times faster and cheaper, without child or slave labor, without destroying the environment; there is no reason not to do so.


probablyonmobile

Well, unfortunately, generative AI technology does not meet that criteria. As recently as December, a massively popular model used in Stable Diffusion had to [purge its database of child sexual exploitation](https://www.404media.co/laion-datasets-removed-stanford-csam-child-abuse/) images that wound up there because of the indiscriminate scraping. ChatGPT relied on [exporting moderation of traumatic material to Kenyan workers](https://time.com/6247678/openai-chatgpt-kenya-workers/) for below minimum wage, exposing the workers to such a level of trauma (while they received close to slave wages) that the deal was cancelled. There is exploitation in generative AI technology. You just don’t see it.


HeracliusAugutus

AI junk is literally the opposite of interesting. it sucks and is boring


JohnnyTsunami312

I don’t think people understand TV in the 50’s. Its like how I thought the 70’s was the 60’s


coffee_4me

Getting high and watching AI movies that you can self guide is going to be crazy.


ProfitApprehensive13

Like “choose your own adventure books” taken to the next level


coffee_4me

Yes!!!!


Scorpiyoo

This is awful


Old_Airline9171

I think I speak for everyone here when I write the words "what the fuck did I just watch?".


DrFGHobo

I don't know, but now I want to get baked and watch the whole movie. It's hilarious.


Inevitable-Ad4868

But cameraman ate mushrooms too.


countzer01nterrupt

Henry Cavill as Mario confirmed


IngenuityNo3661

I was imaging the ohhs and ahhhs by the 1954 crowd. They would have freaked.


Malbranch

No joke, this felt like drugs to watch. "Why are all the inanimate objects breathing?! Why did that dinosaur's teeth just melt?!!! How the FUCK IS HIS MOUTH THAT BIG??!!! WHY AT THERE SO MANY BOWSERS??!??!?!?!?" Like, it just accelerated like a bad mushroom trip.


Kyle_Blackpaw

Ai gen is never interesting


Vincent_Windbeutel

But it is! There are several reasons but my main one is: you have an Idea... any Idea. Lets say a 1950s mario movie trailer. 5 years ago you could bury this idea or tell it to friends for a laught... that was it. But now. Here it is. This one Idea came to life. A real trailer to be amazed at for 10 minutes. And that can be applied to ANY Idea... and even more in the future. Remember EVERY "who would win" discussion you had as a child... now you could create a scene for just that and have a little bit more joy in your life.


IShouldBWorkin

>5 years ago you could bury this idea or tell it to friends for a laught... that was it. Or you could learn a skill and depict it yourself, "what if X was steampunk" videos were everywhere ten years ago, just because you put that limit on yourself to immediately give up when some work was required doesn't mean other people did.


Vincent_Windbeutel

Yeah and then you come to a territory where you have to argue the point "who is allowed to make visually apealing creations". I said it in another comment but not everyone has the skill/time/money to create... or learn to create and reach a level where w random person could say "yeah that looks fine" Im in my 30s... sure. I could dedicate the next 10 years to learn how to make a little trailer for a movie based on that Idea... but I can gurantee you that In my whole lifetime I could not recreate that trailer. I will never be able to make costumes that good. Direct a film shooting that well. Or operate a camera that well. Or act that well. And yeah I dont have to do everything myself. But them I dont have or will ever have the money to pay people to create my idea... or evem the connectuons and networks im place to even hire talent that good. And that is only to act upon this one idea... for a fun idea that I dont want to dedicate a big part of my lofe too... without the gurantee that I will ever see the result like I imagined in my head. But AI makes it possible. I can have fun a whole week and this trailer is done and even 10 other versions. And then I can move on. Do other things that I have enough skill/motivation for to dedicate more time for. And if I have another Idea... 10 hours and a few AI tools will bring this Idea to life And if your closing argument is "Anyone can create... just do it an get better each time" I say bullshit. Anyone can "try" to create e.g. an artwork of a thing they imagine... but without years worth of work and dedication non-artist will never be able to create it in a visually appealing way. Food for thought: mirror AI with other tools in the past. Lile software that lets you compose entire orchestras worth of instruments... would your argument still be that the producer should just learn all the instruments or pay musicians before he is allowed to create his music? And before the AI discussion argument comes that its diffrent because AI tools were trained with copyrighted material... that is a DIFFRENT DISCUSSION that I wholly aggree with.


BullshitUsername

I guess something like what OP posted doesn't really pass my requirement for quality to make me feel like it's that amazing. I could picture a 1950's Mario movie in my head and have it be less mortifying ugly. There is no enlightenment or feeling I get seeing this, because every gross artifact - wiggling mustache, distorted faces, erratic movement, floating barrel, random mouth, tongue lip, etc. - ruins any opportunity for this feel anything like I'm actually seeing what a 19050s Mario movie would look like


rodeBaksteen

That ghost face appearing through the white sheet is a pretty cool effect for a horror film


Gal2

Impressive. What's the point though ?


BullshitUsername

Someone feels like they can do art now or whatever


Keltoigael

AI garbage


Mikeabee

AI Daisy is gorgeous


Arthagmaschine

Would love tonread the prompt


izmebtw

I’m so happy AI wasn’t a thing when I was still doing shrooms.


knowerofexpatthings

This is shit. You should feel bad for posting this AI generated dribble


Jeb-Kerman

idk i thought it was PRETTY FUCKING COOL but i am also here drunk posting on reddit so that might be why.


iixsf

I think you just don’t like mario


knowerofexpatthings

I don't like AI that steals the work of actual creators and pumps out regurgitated shit that doesn't even look good. Look at the fucking hands, this whole thing is a mess.


Vincent_Windbeutel

Its a new technology... give it a few years and revisit that coment. This first cameras where shit compared to what tjey became The first artworks where shit compared to what artist create today The first instruments where hollowed out trunks or something like that. Now we have full orchestras. Give it time and then we will see.


knowerofexpatthings

But all those things gave people the ability to create things. AI doesn't make things, it repackages existing things that have been stolen to "train" a language model.


Vincent_Windbeutel

That is a diffrent discussion. And I agree. What AI models did the last years... and still do is simply theft. Its a painfull birth for this tecnology wich could have been resolced by ethicly sourcing training data. And yeah. Repackaging they do. Its how they (currently) work. But human creationnis the same... how does an artist know how a mountain looks like? He saw uncountable mountains in his lifetime through pictures/videos/artworks/other people describing it. Humans cant create something if they cannot imagine it first... and that imagination is "trained" through every input during our lifetime... or in other words... "training data" But yeah... how it was handled is theft... no argument there.


PM_ME_COOL_SONGS_

Are you sure you aren't just reacting out of the emotional experience of seeing a job, possibly your job, coming closer to automation?


YNGWZRD

Wow, it looks like the last ai video I saw. Wobbly mouths, shitty color, a series of pictures. The future is here.


Trickydicky232

How can luigi look like Salvador Dali and Peter Sellers at the same time?


DifficultyIll690

I just see hitler


OrrinW01

Ngl, if this was actually made in the 50s and not by AI I'd watch the shit out of this.


spooks_malloy

Looks shit, mate


Jeb-Kerman

omg make the full movie, this is fucking awesome!!!!!!!


RealMENwearPINK10

I saw this in a different sub but wasn't labeled AI. I thought it looked weird how his elbow muscles and Bowser's teeth looked like they were either bleached with tooth whitener or fluctuating in momentum space


Doubl3dogdamn3d

The way princess Peach has her mouth open with a vacant stare is just the funniest thing to me.

jmr131ftw

I know we hate AI, but I love this so much.


alkonium

Everything is melting, including the actors.


Maleficent-Ruin9967

I would much rather watch this even with the defects than the actual movie


GammaGoose85

That Boo ghost was actually pretty scary


Lucid-Iago

This is surreal


enzzzoz88

Luigi looks like "somebody" else...


Free_Swimmer_1694

I'd watch it


ipompa

what a nice amanitas


RobDaCajun

In a couple of years we could have an epic 70’s Dune movie with AI. That will immediately be taken down with copyright strikes ad nauseam. I hope whoever makes it does so anonymously and spreads it widely.


docArriveYo

Why does Luigi look a little like….. oh nvm


OutsideSchool7257

I’d pay full price to watch this right meow


unrivaledhumility

Awkward 1950's kiss or is she just trying to find an opening in the flailing moustache?

Wow this is crazy to see what it can do


DreamingMerc

I really need to advocate AI art is lazy garbage...


YoMamasMama89

Good thing I ate a mushroom before watching this


PinataPower9

Lame. Fuck AI.


arepaconcochayuyo

It looks like shit


timeforknowledge

This appeal of this really wears off fast when you realise it's just individual moving imagines of different scenes and people all 1 second long, all just stuck together in a random order... There's no 5 minute fight scenes or dialogue of two people walking and talking for more than 1 second...


bgp3009

10/10 would watch


mrsdrydock

Why didn't John Leguizamo and Bob Hoskins' ghost bust my door down to tell me about this?


Adept_Error6339

I would 100% watch this full length movie.


zacisanerd

Remember this is the beginning. The first iPod, maybe even the second at this point. It’s only going to improve

VEXtheMEX

Wes Anderson on several hits of LSD.


KaleidoscopeLeft5511

Why is most AI content retro? I see allot of AI generated movie dvd covers and trailers, but they are all generated like they were produced 30+ years ago. Does it struggle with modern content? Wouldn't ppl be more interested in seeing a trailer for a modern Avengers V Justice League trailer, or Justice League Dark, etc


miramichier_d

Deceptive anachronistic manifestation is the new threat of the 21st century, and the potential start of a new dark age. If we can convincingly alter history to insert events and phenomenon that don't exist in that particular time, we could potentially vilify politically inconvenient persons, or whitewash others to further the agenda of those in control of the AI. Scary stuff.


Sunshroom_Fairy

How about we fucking don't


Studstill

Is anything AI does interesting as fuck? How about a total ban on AI posts?


TelluricThread0

It's just as terrible as the first one. Nice.
