Ovi: Twin backbone cross-modal fusion for audio-video generation

mindblowing - but still in the uncanny valley. and I guess it's cute that many of the characters live in a world where AI has caused an apocolypse, but is that really the message they want to lead with?

To be fair, a lot of movies in theaters have uncanny valleys. A lot of CGI feels that way to me.

The limits of CGI have gotten so good that if you are noticing the CGI, it's b/c someone skimped on the budget for the particular movie where you saw the uncanny valley.

(Of course, excluding the obvious "that guy just knocked down a building!" CGI)

> but still in the uncanny valley

that and the guitar player behind the singer in the concert example has three arms :)

Yeah that's the thing, with good execution of a plausible effect you don't even realize you're looking at CGI. It's the toupée fallacy.

I watched a few animes which embraced their poor animation and the excellent Dandadan doesnt chase FPS and resolution benchmarks. Wonder if AI video makers will restrain themselves from getting close to the uncanny valley.
