This way you can have a few seconds of a beach for your travel company advert, for example, without having to pay for the stock footage or film it yourself.

Advertising holidays at places that do not exist! Exactly what we needed!

So no different than currently? Pictures and videos in ads all have heavy editing and post processing to make them look better.

It‘s highly debatable how much editing is ok or when it get‘s deceiving. Video can only show you so much of an actual experience, senses like smells, warmth and time need some editing to be somewhat communicated. That‘s just film making.

For an AI generated clip it‘s not even a debate. It doesn‘t exist and doesn‘t try to advertise anything. And since it‘s so much easier and cheaper than doing all of the above... Well let‘s just say the incentive to deceive was just pushed up to 11.

Uhh, ads already do that.

Usually their computer animations are a pretty obvious style choice. This is completely different than that and even more different than photos.

OK, poor example, but you get my point.
