I mean its cool and all but honestly I'm not sure how i feel about it. I feel like creations from AI as a whole, ruin the creative nature of humans. The creativity you get from learning or thinking about things. Using AI as a tool to learn is great, you get the information you want served straight up to you. But using it to do something you cant is kind of just something that i don't like or appreciate.
Anyway heres 1 opinion and 2 takes:
- In a creative standpoint like drawing or sculpting, when you learn that kind of skill set, you set yourself apart from the people that can't do it. That's why its called a skill. Not many people are able to do what you can learn to do and that makes it special. Using AI to do it just ruins the whole craft of it.
- Due to the way AI is being developed, Its slowing growing more and more conscious and its happening too fast. While it might seem like something that wouldn't cause much problem, you have to factor in the fact that what it's being trained on is humans. If humans are anything to go by, then AI will turn out just like us and they will be better than us. They may learn to do the bad things humans can do and we might not be able to stop them.
- AI videos could lead to real world lawsuits from the people whom videos are being generated of. Which isn't really great for something of which you barely put any effort into (putting in a prompt). In the future this might become a bigger problem than we think as of now.
I found this very interesting but I funnily enough I share almost opposite opinions to yours. Here are my "counter-arguments":

This is true, but it's not bad and it has been happening for centuries, Art had a major shift once photography was invented as there was no real point to drawing what can be captured by a camera. During the industrial revolution a lot of skill sets also became worthless (from a economic standpoint) since machine could automate the process for us (Sewing shoes for example). This isn't something inherently bad it might actually be good at the end of the day. Most 1st world countries suffer from a overly educated population where a lot of people are over-qualified for their jobs, AI might help reduce the need for these more simple jobs and create jobs which require a higher level of education.

Current AI is just a tool at the end of the day, It itself cannot be malicious only the people who use it. Furthermore current AI architecture (Transformers) are not capable of sentience, they are just a advanced statistical model which outputs whatever word is most probable to come next in a sentence. It doesn't have the capability to become sentient and display free-will. So AI cannot be evil as of rn.

Yes in the future this might be an issue, but as of now AI generated videos leave artifacts in videos that can be detected by deterministic software very easily. So I wouldn't be concerned that AI would be used for falsifying evidence in court just yet, although I am concerned with the defamation that AI videos can cause.
