When people work for an insanely difficult project for more than 2 years, they probably pick something they personally love and don't need any external request.
Thank you for mentioning it. Too bad you got downvoted to hell as usual when anybody dares to do it.
The original post and every comment by OP is so full of AI slop ("the biggest surprise!", "one thing I didn't expect!", "the biggest challenge!", etc. etc.") that is absolutely painful to read. I still can't believe most people (especially here on HN, I thought we were a bit better than this) can't notice all this stuff.
What's much worse, it's that all these people posting this useless slop are so dishonest ("I definitely use LLMs to help write things - but this is my draft!") that it makes me really nauseous... This is the worst time to be an internet user if you have more than 2 points of IQ.
Only the images? The entire article is pure AI slop. But no one even cares anymore... People seem to love this kind of empty text, or no one even reads anymore, or everyone here is a bot already... Who knows.
Yeah, I've been just slowly blocking all these domains, users, etc. But nowadays it's just unbearable. We have already lost this war.
And seeing every day this kind of crap at the top of the front page of the websites I used to love, with hundreds of comments of intelligent people not even noticing all this useless AI slop... Very sad future ahead.
Yes, these people are so unbelievably stupid that think others more intelligent than them can't tell when they use AI to write their stuff. And then they act so annoyed when they get exposed... It's unbearable.
The article here is still full of AI slop, and so many people in the comments are defending the author. Blows my mind.
Every time I complain about this kind of useless AI slop I get downvoted to hell and get dozens of comments saying "it doesn't look AI at all", so I don't even bother anymore. It's incredibly sad, I expected much more from this community... But it looks like it'll soon be dead like the rest of the internet.
Wow, every single word in the original post and on that README.md is pure LLM. How sad.
In any case, this has been done at least since the very first public releases of Llama by Meta... It also works for image models. There are even a few ComfyUI nodes that let you pick layers to duplicate on the fly, so you can test as many as you want really quickly.
Me: What are some of Maradona's most notable achievements in football?
Mercury 2 (first sentence only): Dieadona’s most notable football achievements include:
Notice the spelling of "Dieadona" instead of "Maradona". Even any local 3B model can answer this question perfectly fine and instantly... Mercury 2 was so incredibly slow and full of these kinds of unforgivable mistakes.
That one looks extremely fake... No one would mistake サーカス as circuit, which is usually written as サーキット and is pronounced completely different. Also, calling the sport and everything around it as "the F1 circus" is very common in Japan and other parts of the world.
It wouldn't be too hard to do any of the things you mention. See ControlNet for Stable Diffusion, and vid2vid (if this model does txt2vid, it can also do vid2vid very easily).
So you can just record some guiding stuff, similar to motion capture but with just any regular phone camera, and morph it into anything you want. You don't even need the camera, of course, a simple 3D animation without textures or lighting would suffice.
Also, consistent look has been solved very early on, once we had free models like Stable Diffusion.
Too bad you and most HN commenters nowadays can't...
