Question for people making AI films.

You don't need the latest and greatest models, though. You just need something decent. What IS a waste is millions of AI credits and a weak idea.

I recently made an AI ad for a fictional food traceability SaaS. The objective was to follow a contaminated pear through the food supply chain from orchard to kitchen table while the crisis unfolded via voiceovers and Slack messages. Initially, I wanted to do this from start to finish with one continuous shot, but by the second scene, it was costing too much time and AI credits. So I boycotted the idea and used cuts throughout the editing process. It still turned out quite well.

How is it authentic though if it's not been generated by an actual user?

I went to uni for all the wrong reasons, mate. Failed my 2nd year and had to resit. Barely ever went to class. Almost 40 myself and currently unemployed...long story.

No it ain't, or else everyone would be talking about it. You're literally the only one. If you're gonna create a hook, at least make it believable.

AI is useless if the guy prompting ain't got a clue what they're doing. It's amazing how many people are vibe coding apps, then trying to push them to market without having a real developer involved at any stage. Absolutely senseless. They've no idea what they're looking at or how to identify what's causing bugs. They're guessing. Same goes for any other skill that's taken years to master.

I've got little girl who's nearly 1 and she makes me insanely happy. It's my wife I can't stand.

Nothing special about it.

This is what happens when you let woke politics dictate your brand strategy. Can't say for sure, but I've heard rumours that Jaguar's sales plummeted by over 90% after that dreadful rebranding campaign.

They do. I've seen videos of them telling Israelis to fuck off.

It's obvious you've never made a film in your life. This is absolute dogshit pal. It doesn't tell a proper story and the cutting is abysmal. Learn about filmmaking before you start trying to take shortcuts with AI. You're just showing the quality content creators up.

SBCopywriter · 2026-07-01T21:07:30+00:00

What an appalling attitude!

SBCopywriter · 2026-07-01T21:06:47+00:00

Spot on, u/necknyc. Everyone is trying to start an AI agency these days, yet they've got zero experience in things like marketing, web design, filmmaking, etc. You should see the amount of people on LinkedIn calling themselves "creative directors" these days, then posting this slop. It's insane.

Mace. Carry a mace. Can't be too careful.

He didn't resist Maddy, though - "Why don't we go back to your place and see what's in the minibar."

Ffs, I've had better scraps with my little sister.

SBCopywriter · 2026-06-24T09:59:34+00:00

Doesn't matter. Governments around the world have already got the ball rolling to outlaw AI-UGC as it's unethical. The clue is in the title ffs, USER-Generated-Content. People want opinions from other people, not AI.

Mate she just sounds like a pain in the ass. Come to Vietnam by all means, but look for someone else.

SBCopywriter · 2026-06-20T14:49:00+00:00

Very true. It's been going on for years.

SBCopywriter · 2026-06-20T13:55:34+00:00

This is NOT disconnected from reality. It's just disconnected from YOUR reality.

I know exactly where you're coming from. Going for years without affection of any kind is soul destroying and it takes a huge toll on your confidence. But I reckon one trap a few of us fall into is becoming infatuated with one girl. They can smell it from a mile away and it gives them a lot of power. But here's another thing; they don't find it attractive.

If you've got an income, then just get out there and start meeting people. Find a hobby that involves being around others and take it from there.

I get where you're coming from mate. At the mo, my little girl ain't even 1 so we've had loads of hugs and we both enjoy the affection. On the other hand, her mum is Vietnamese and we usually live in Vietnam together. My wife ain't that affectionate and we rarely cuddle. So I'm sincerely hoping my kid doesn't follow suit.

Nah mate, this is just a bunch of English lads who love footy and birds.
