If that story was an AI original with no human writing it then I feel sorry for humanity. One of the things that make us what we are is our ability to create art in it's various forms. Don't hand that over to machines. And if you do, warn us at the beginning of the film or book that it is AI. Don't wait til the end. That is EXTREMELY rude to those of us who don't want to view or read AI generated subject matter.

Those that can't do, criticize.
Remember that, dear viewer.

[@CarolBethCobun]

@@Bytesized_Stories_AI Not criticize. State an opinion. I am an avid reader, watcher, and gamer. I also write stories and do crafts with beads, yarn, plastic canvas and wood. So I understand both sides, at least from my point of view. Which is what I shared here. The only real criticism I had in my comments was about not being warned at the beginning that it was AI. I think that should have been at the beginning, like when books have content/trigger warnings in their descriptions or author note at the start.

[@Bytesized_Stories_AI]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Your passion for the arts is clear, and I appreciate your viewpoint. While AI in art can be a hot topic, it's all about exploring new creative possibilities. I use the tools available to me just as any artist does & the tens of hours it takes me to make a short film does not entitle anyone to a trigger warning because of their own misguided ideas about new creative tools.
All the best!

At the 0:40 mark his leg passes thru the steel beam of the train track. Ooops.

[@Bytesized_Stories_AI]

Astute observation!

[@Sci-Fi_Fan296]

Dang, this was a really captivating storyline! Hopefully you can build on it with future installments?

[@Bytesized_Stories_AI]

@@Sci-Fi_Fan296 Thank you! The story was inspired by the video game SOMA which I would love to adapt to a full feature one day.
Really appreciate the feedback!

[@MindOfAncient]

Fantastic work!

Thank you 🤙

Terrible buzzing background noise ruins it for me.

[@Bytesized_Stories_AI]

To each their own! You'll have to watch out for my next short film "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells. I've gotten much better at my craft since this one 🤙

[@nihatbarun1164]

It's purely an AI shit show,give me back my precious seven minutes

[@Bytesized_Stories_AI]

Sorry you didn’t enjoy it! If only I could refund your seven minutes, but I can promise you, that won't be the last time AI will steal time from you! Feel free to try again-I’ve heard people love it even more after the second watch. 😉

[@danielsetzer3766]

The voice acting was subpar.

[@Bytesized_Stories_AI]

@@danielsetzer3766 Give the technology a few more months & it'll get there. In two years it's gone from incomprehensible to early PS3 level production value. Where might we be in another two years?
