At a recent wedding, two separate groups of friends created videos for the bride and groom, both heavily utilizing AI for scriptwriting, audio, and visuals.
Despite different subject matter – one focusing on wedding gifts and the other on the couple's love story – the AI-generated videos shared striking similarities. Both featured a similar tone of voiceover, cadence, and cutscenes of flying over beaches, through forests, and into space. The narrative in both videos adopted a National Geographic-esque tone, exploring themes of love and evolution, with one even beginning with the National Geographic logo.
The guests were amazed by the uncanny resemblance, finding it a humorous coincidence. The author, however, views this as a sign of "aggressive regression to a mean" in everyday creativity. They question whether this trend is driven by a fear of producing subpar work, laziness, or other unknown factors, highlighting a growing reliance on AI tools.
