Leonardo AI Walks The Dinosaur Just For Fun

This is how it started, an image created in Second Life. Found a jungle set with a tyrannosaur and posed an avatar in front of it and took some pix. Came out great, pure B-movie excitement! Would work as sweat mag art too. But I thought I'd make a video from it.

The AI did a pretty good job overall with everything except of course the armbinder. That was shiny metal in the original, but somehow Leonardo wanted to turn the metal into soft, breathable fabric in every iteration. But at least the bondage gear was still there. I actually wrote 'with her wrists cuffed behind her back" because cuffs sounds like it could be crime or adventure related, not necessarily a bad evil awful sex thing. And it worked, except when I converted it to motion...

My prompt for all four videos was something close to this: "A woman with her arms cuffed behind her back sees a tyrannosaur. She spins and runs toward the camera with her hands still cuffed behind her back, screaming in terror, with the tyrannosaur chasing her." 

This is the best of the four videos I made. In each and every case, as soon as the woman spins around her armbinder magically disappears or morphs into cloth armbands that don't hinder her arm movements at all. She's pumping those arms as she runs. Screaming too. 

Also, our heroine is stark naked in the initial Second Life pic. And Leonardo AI kept her stark naked in the still image it created of her. But on each and every video they put a bikini on her. When it's that consistent, it's gotta be censorship. Great. Censorship is why I stopped my Kling subscription.

But you know what? Bad as it is, my video is more exciting and lifelike than almost every stop motion dinosaur scene from the 1920s to the 1960s. People who think CGI isn't great stuff for SF movies are just crazy. How can you not see how much better modern movies look than the absolute CRAP we got for SF movie special effects and props in the old days? I remember watching "Quatermass and the Pit" which had a pretty good script and solid acting, for the most part, and just laughing when the body of one of the Martians was an obvious two-meter long plastic replica of a cricket. So pathetic.

And of course those old movies had budgets ranging from tens of thousands of dollars to millions, with most somewhere in the hundreds of thousands. You know what I could do with a budgets of a hundred thousand dollars and my present gear? I could spend a hundred bucks on video production and $99,900 on hookers and blow, that's what!

I know how Hollywood accounting works.
