Someone made a crime TV show using AI software, and then they came up with an even crazier behind-the-scenes AI clip for the same fake show.
Thanks to major advances in text-to-video generation software in the past few years, AI-generated videos are now the norm. OpenAI has Sora out in the wild, Google has Veo, and Adobe has its Firefly video model. In the past few weeks, we’ve also seen a few interesting video-generation AI models from China that tease massive performance.
That means anyone with enough time and money for the AI credits needed to process video requests can create clips that look a lot like real videos captured with regular cameras.
We’ve seen all sorts of video concepts “shot” with genAI software, including deepfakes that place celebrities in AI clips. On that note, we shouldn’t be surprised to see anti-AI-deepfake laws pop up around the world in response to the increasing number of AI videos that abuse the technology.
But some of the AI videos out there are impressive and deserve recognition. For example, someone made an incredible crime TV series using AI. But what really blew my mind was the “behind-the-scenes” clip they created using the same AI software for that fake TV show.
Reddit user ButchersBrain posted a clip that’s about six minutes long on the social platform. Titled Echoes of the Abyss Season 01, the clip follows Detective Quinn as she investigates strange murders in a small fishing town somewhere in a Scandinavian country.
