I hope AI tools allow for better fan edits. There's enough of a foundation and source footage to redo the later episodes of Stranger Things ... The Matrix ... etc.


The fan edit (M4's) of the Hobbit trilogy is way better than the released version.


I need to test the new audio demuxing model out for fan edits. Separating music, dialog, and sound effects into stems would make continuity much easier. Minor rewrites would be interesting, but considering Tron Ares botched AI rewrite dubbing so bad I’m not holding my breath.


I wouldn't be surprised if the free/open voice cloning and lip-synch tools of today are better than whatever "professional" tools they were using however many months/year ago they did that edit.


I hope you one day realise the disgusting absurdity of what you just said.


Yes, I think that this is one place to be very bullish on AI content creation. There are many people with fantastic visions for beautiful stories that they will never be in a position to create the traditional way; oftentimes with better stories than what is actually produced officially.

(You ever think about how many fantastic riffs have been wasted with cringe lyrics?)


Nothing is stopping you right now from buying or finding or creating a catalog of loops and samples that you can use to create your own Artistic Vision[tm]. The technology exists and has existed for decades, no AI required.


I saw that one of my favourite electronic artists, BT, has embraced AI by making a ton of his own loops and samples and then training the AI on it so that it makes more of his music for him.


i often think about all the music ruined by self obsessed dorks singing soulless middle school poetry, and it's the main application of AI i'm quite excited for


Absolutely! Is there a name for the opposite of a "remix" - where you'd normally have the same lyrics but change the music - and instead keep the beautiful original music but put something a little more meaningful over it?

Ever look at the lyrics to Toto's Africa? We can start there, someone send a poet please
