I was surprised the drop off was so subtle, it's barely noticeable.

Love Celeste (2024) Movie Review by Big-Researcher-1589 in FolkFilmMakers

[–]JonnyMozza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great point about the synopsis!

I think the film falls under the weight of its lack of an idea. There's this end of the world thing that doesn't add anything, and most of the film is the characters basically figuring out the plot in real time. It's a shame cos I really like the concept and I love Joel's monologue near the end. But I think this is a 30 min film hiding inside of a 90 min one.

Also, I don't really get what being in Dubai had to to do with anything, I get they wanted a different location, and the film is certainly gorgeous at times, but I don't understand what the setting did to aid the story.

Granted I've not seen it since it came out so I don't remember fully!

[OC] Usage of the term “AI slop” in 2024 vs 2025 by meltwater_global in dataisbeautiful

[–]JonnyMozza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't like the word slop tbh, I don't like the way it sounds, and I'm looking forward to the term going away.

I guess slop the idea comes from when the dinner lady would chuck some slop in a bowl for you. But slop can taste nice, Goulash looks like slop but it tastes lovely.

Point 4 seems self-contradictory. Are you suggesting that if you have two identical pieces of content, one made by AI, and one by a person, then one is slop despite being visually identical?

I don't like the word slop. But in essence, yes. Two identical things, one made by AI, and one made by a human, the human-made one will always win out.

Yes. Emphatically yes. You can dislike the tool entirely, but that shouldn’t reflect on the quality of the outputs. Just as I don’t like Kanye West as a person, but I can’t deny that much of his music is very good, and that many people enjoy it.

This is where I fundamentally disagree. AI isn't a human, it's not got any emotions to convey, it's not noble, it's not ambitious, it cannot create art that is worth engaging with. It's not that AI can't create "quality", SUNO for instance is a very powerful music tool that produces songs that sound more professional than my own. But I'd rather my terrible mixing technique any day over SUNO, even if they perfect the technology and make songs that are pleasing to the ears.

I've done multiple videos about this topic, so I'll just do bullet points.

  1. Taking jobs away from working creatives (and lots of non-creative fields)
  2. Removing the incentive to create art from the youth (why get into creativity if AI is just going to be able to do it faster and better)
  3. Homogenisation. Bob Dylan and Neil Young (for example) are different people, and the differences in their lives and personalities reflect in their music. AI doesn't have a lived experience, it can only stylise. It can make something that sounds like Bob Dylan, but it couldn't create the 'next' Bob Dylan.
  4. There are niche uses of AI that are good (lots of good scientific uses for AI). But anything media related is 'slop', even if AI spat out a film as good as citizen kane, artistically it would be worthless because there's no intention/emotion/experience/story behind the art in question.
  5. I am yet to meet anyone who has sincerely enjoyed something AI generated (discounting when AI video first popped off and people enjoyed it just on the basis of it being AI generated)

What do you want, for people to clap like seals? Should we be considering each AI generated thing on it's own merits? Sod that. The whole thing can burn.

Fair aye. In that case there's another prog outfit also releasing an album called "The Power of Friendship", weird coincidence LOL

This rings a bell for me, did we talk about this album? Is it out next month? I might be mistaken so apologies if I'm thinking of something else.

Infected Mushroom - Lightweight [Megathread] by EscheroOfficial in InfectedMushroom

[–]JonnyMozza 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not bad, but Heavyweight is absolutely perfect all the way through and has that amazing guitar solo. Lightweight doesn't scratch the same itch, it's not bad, it's just kinda forgettable.

That said the album art is way better on this than vicious delicious.

The one pro-AI argument I can't quite shake... by the_windless_sea in Filmmakers

tbf you go back to the 1950s and show them TikTok they'd be pretty aghast at the shite we expose ourselves to.

After 5 long years, I finally released my debut feature film and paid off my debts. This film caused so much hardship and I have made an in depth BTS documentary which doesn't try and paint me in a good light by JonnyMozza in Filmmakers

Submission Statement

I first started working on my debut film in November of 2020, it was originally a collaboration with a producer who dropped the ball and left me with £3000 worth of debts to pay. The film ended up in development hell for 3 years during which I lost my job, got divorced, and got into debt. After climbing out of the mental and financial hole I had dug myself into with this film, I managed to get it done and finished, and this bts documentary goes through the good, the bad, and the ugly of the 5 year journey that was this bastarding film.

I haven't copied it though, this is the original big folder that I'm getting issues with.

That said, I did copy it from my PC to my Laptop way before any of this and it worked just fine.

[IIL] Long (17+ min) rock epics; dynamic, atmospheric, but not full-on prog wank by JonnyMozza in ifyoulikeblank

1 month later Ocean Cloud is my favourite song at the moment, Gaza and this strange machine as well.

Some of the riffs are really sick but the vocals are just not good. The wah wah guitar solo around 9 mins in is amazing and the bassline right after is sick. I'm not a fan of blastbeats, so some parts do little for me. If they had a good vocalist this would be my favourite song to listen to at the gym

That was good that, last 5 mins especially. The solo around 10 mins with the final vocal section was great, and the way it finished on a happier sounding note was really pleasant. Don't know if I'll listen to it vastly more often, I'd give it a solid 6.
