At what point do we stop calling ai generated video slop

Reddit r/artificial News

Summary

The article argues that AI-generated video has surpassed the 'slop' threshold, with major studios and streaming services adopting it for cost savings and commercial viability, forcing a redefinition of quality in content creation.

I think we passed the line and most people haven't noticed two years ago slop was generous and a year ago sora dropped and quality jumped but everything still had that uncanny wobble where hands melted slop was still accurate. Have you seen what's coming out now though? animated studios are reportedly considering switching to ai generated animation because it drops production costs from $500k to under $100k. Netflix just acquired an ai content company, disney confirmed ai will play a significant role in content production going forward. these aren't creators experimenting, these are the companies that define what quality means for a billion people. On the commercial content side it's already happened quietly. I produce short form video for brands using a mix of ai tools, kling for generation, magic hour for face swaps, capcut for touch ups. sent a client 20 social videos last week and she said "love these" ,they dont care if it ai ,they just want outcome fast. the trick that changed everything is that nobody's using raw text to video as the final output anymore. you layer capabilities and the combined output looks fundamentally different from type a prompt and pray i think "slop" is doing two things right now ,one is legitimate quality criticism for genuinely bad output which still exists. The other is a defense mechanism because admitting the output is commercially viable means admitting something uncomfortable about what human creators are competing against. If a viewer can't tell so the algorithm doesn't care and the commercial results are identical, is it still slop?
