Judging by the comment section TED talks are doing fine.

I remember when TED used to be good

L TED ED. Shame on you.
@
So AI supercharged the talentless hacks who feel special by creating garbage art. Now, they don't even have to do work or an ounce of creativity in creating presumptuous "art"
@
I saw Heaven. I describe seeing it in videos on the channel I'm posting from.

Not interested in the video, just came with a popcorn to read the comments.

Clearly you did a "wonderful" job with the two masks at 6:30 in the step you call post process...
@
HATE seeing Ted become the AI shill platform because TED Talks keeps making deals with AI firms. Went from ideas and speeches to paid ads. Sad.
@
did I just watch theft in bright daylight being justified by TED ? disgusting
@
Today is the day we all finally unsubscribe from TED. Shame on you for trying to legitimize this AI slop.

No thank you. I prefer actual handmade art
@
What is this good for? I know its art but do we really need AI to do this? He can paint or draw it, or even be a photographer who captures unusual things and I would admire that more. Idk but I feel like he just want to live in his own sureal world and dont care about his surroundings. There is nothing wrong about it, but for who other then him will this AI world be good for. May be this is just me but I dont fancy AI art.

Ugh, TED talks suck and have for years now. This is a TED talk? Really? This was like a little kid at show and tell. I thought he was going to talk about AI art and whether it's actually art or not. How does he make the art, meaning what kind of prompts does he have to use? What are his interactions with the AI that make these images/videos? What is the future of AI art? Instead, all we get is how he's off balance, so his characters are off balance. He wants to hide, so his characters do too. It was an art exhibit, not a TED talk.
@
Personally, I find this disturbing. Not because as an artform its wrong, but because AI generated images and stories often depict false srories, made to look real. How can the public use discernment in these cases?
@
Another example of the public being told "A.I. is inevitable" to try and suppress pushback

As Hayao Miyazaki said about the use of AI in art and animation: „I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself […] I feel like we are nearing to the end of times. We humans are losing faith in ourselves.“

They're just letting anyone do a Ted talk now huh
@
What would really seem surreal about now would be if you can make TED talks go back to being about anything other than AI adoption
