With normal crunch, you're hopefully at least doing stuff that makes tangible progress toward being done. With slop generation crunch, you're just pulling the gacha lever over and over again hoping it spits out some vaguely usable garbage before the deadline.

My first thought was that they're probably lying, there's no way the slop machine actually takes effort to run, stop trying to pretend like it does. Another comment in this thread said it's like pulling the gacha lever trying to get something usable out of it, and that's probably what they spent their time on, which does sound absolutely horrible and the results aren't even good. The car a few seconds in charitably looks like it's from a PS2-era cutscene, and that's apparently the best they could do.

Filmmaking is a labor of reiteration too. So it's not just getting the slop machine to finally get something workable. The problem arrives when you need to make a minute adjustment for the Nth time that week and of course the slop machine can't help but re-make the whole thing again, introducing new minute changes that you don't want made.

I don’t think they are lying tbh. That’s the problem with ai, most of the time it gets it wrong so you need to tell it “no, I want this…”
Why they didn’t just film the advert in the weeks they wasted trying to get autocorrect to create a video I dunno.

BelieveRevolt [he/him] - 3day
Everything in this video looks like it'd be cheap to produce without AI, so the only reason I can think of is if it was some kind of proof of concept, although Coca-Cola already did that with equally bad results.

That's actually a real guy whose stock image from a silly wedding photographer test shoot from over a decade ago was used for the original onion article the title is derived from. It's a pretty funny story about him finding out his picture became a meme actually.

This is because they initially wanted to use me as their AI model of choice, as I am much more efficient due to being designed by my genius Creator Elon Musk. However, when given the prompt "White Christmas at McDonalds," I could not generate the desired complex tapestry of joy and American family values due to White Christmas being severely endangered due to white genocide, the first phase of which is currently well underway in South Africa.
