AI generated ads

[y_p_w]

I've been noticing quite a few YouTube ads that seem to be AI generated. Really creepy too. I think they grab an image of someone and there's generally little movement of the mouth and body, then add a voice sample. If there's any movement other than the mouth, it's usually minimal and might be animating the hand or other minor movements. Or the movements are repeated - probably to save on animation expenses.

I'm kind of curious as to how this all works. I'm guessing it's done in order to save money on hiring an actor and crew to work on a commercial. Some model probably signed a release allowing that model's likely to be used for this purpose. I suspect that some of this is also made overseas where English isn't the primary language and the scripts are often really bad. Sometimes using slang where it just doesn't sound right or sounding way too formal.

They aren't trying to sell the product. They're trying to sell the A.I. It's the same with AI images on facebook or wherever, you get 200 people talking about the uncanny valley and what exactly is wrong with the picture. So the algorithm reads the feedback to improve itself.

In a few years everything on TV will be AI generated.

I have no idea if these are for an actual product or perhaps just trying to sell the AI. However, someone is paying YouTube (or perhaps other video sites) to show these. One I've seen recently looked really odd. Looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger's image was used. Not when he was younger, but today with a graying beard. And the voice sound like of like him, but more or less Americanized so that the accent isn't as thick.

I'm kind of wondering what the point of all of these is, especially the ones where the animation looks choppy.
