    The original release of 牛来 did not do well, but Chinese netizens discovered it was created by a mother/son duo and rallied behind it. This lead to releases in more theaters and people watching it for support even though it is… not a good movie.

    Left is a hallucination within a dream that you quickly forget after waking up.

    Right is a sleep paralysis demon that haunts you on and off for the rest of your life.

    People will watch slop-like content with poor production value because at least there is intent and purpose.

      Probably 3 star pile, like the rating 3 out of 100.

      Also apparently it’s an actual archaeological site of the same name in China of a culture in bronze age. Site is called Three Star Mound

    Judging by that pic, Niu Lai looks like having a lot of potential as a cult movie for stoners.

    So bad it’s art. Cog suckers don’t understand that the flaws in the animation makes it more human. I wish I could buy it legally, it’s a great movie!

    Hey, some light sci-fi movie on some time travel, astronaut came to ancient civilisations to rescue humanity or something plot: I’d be even up for that. But that AI slop makes my eyes bleed and if the visuals are anything to go by probably the whole story is slopped as well. Isn’t it?

      After watching this, I am more convinced than ever that cultures all have same the qualities.

      Chinese audiences celebrating it’s so bad it’s good of Niu La is the same as American audiences doing the same thing with the Room.

    When a human makes garbage, it’s entertaining because we (or at least I) acknowledge that as part of being human, we make mistakes, interpret thungs differently, and have our own flaws. When a computer makes garbage, that’s just what it does. I would much rather every new movie to ever be created be The Room, Troll 2, Birdemic, and every other bad movie than get AI movies.

    I found an article and was gonna quote it to talk about the 100 or so people over two years trying this and then quoting how they were hoping for a blockbuster to spawn more and then joke about how far it fell.

    However I noticed at the bottom of the article it disclosed that it was written with AI … so, bleh.

      Good time to mention the movie on the right was made by a mother son duo on like no money. They couldn’t even make posters for theaters but this just started a trend of theaters drawing their own amateur posters for the showings.

      A raw example of people creating just for creation’s sake.

      i kinda think thats what makes art “art” in the first place. art to me is the intentional expression or evocation of emotion through a medium

        Ideally, art should express something that words can not.

        Writing a prompt using words to describe what art to generate is missing the point.

        • would consider text a form of art. literature.

          If you can make a compelling thing to read in a couple sentences, that’s great.

          If you use it as a prompt to write a book, then I rather read the original 2 sentences than waste time with a book that can be summarized in 2 sentences.

            Yes, poetry can be art too, but that’s because the use of the words creates meaningful associations to something that expresses more than the words themselves describe.

            AI reads the prompt the same way that we read poetry and then delivers its attempts to describe the associations that it learned. At best, AI could recreate the role of a really obnoxious poetry critic, but it will never be the artist.

              Yeah, LLMs cannot learn and that is fundamental to their base algorithms of diffusion and backpropagation. Instead, they can only be trained to asymptotically approach human communication thru the use of latent space, a method of algorithmically abstracting concepts.

              They can only ever combine concepts they have been trained on, but cannot continue to build upon those compositions like actual artists do.
