r/singularity on Reddit: Are we unknowingly being shown AI generated scenes/content on streaming services?
December 16, 2024 -

I was watching Barack and Michelle Obama's new nature doc on Netflix called "Our Oceans". Pretty obvious that the majority of the scenes are NOT AI generated.. but there are a bunch of quick cuts and transition scenes where it felt pretty recognizable. If it is AI, it's a better model than is publicly available to anyone at the moment (which would make sense if OpenAI licensed SORA to them months ago).

Anyway, I could be totally wrong, just wanted to get some other thoughts. Do you think we are unknowingly being shown AI generated content on streaming platforms?

June 22, 2025 - I thought it was great to find out that when measures of conssrvation are taken, example given was the Channel Island area, that the oceans wildlife, plant life do recover, and even better … faster than expected. Yes it’s a sad story, but YES we can do something about it. Continue this thread ... Human life should not prevail on earth. They will ruin everything including themselves ... Another beautiful and terrifying documentary by Attenborough. All this tech and AI, they can’t figure out how to immortalize his narration voice?

June 10, 2025 -

I hope the mods don't delete this post. If you haven't watched the new David Attenborough documentary, it's very revealing and extremely sad. About 20 minutes in they discuss bottom trawling. The camera is attached to the bottom chain and the destruction is gut wrenching. The before and after of the scallop beds are particularly disturbing.

As fish lovers I'd like to think we're all nature nuts who appreciate the beauty of the world around us. Sharing this documentary is something we can all do to help. As minor as it may seem.

P.S. I don't cry much but it had me in tears
