So over at sexlikereal.com they are adding a super cool new feature that I think a ton of people will be excited for. They are adding the ability to have an AI script generated for any video you own! I know AI scripts have a bad rap with some people and obviously will never be better than a hand made script but the ones at SLR have gotten very good. This would be amazing to get scripts for videos that you never thought would have one or maybe to give people a baseline to script off of (idk a lot about actually making them.) Here’s the problem, they are bundling it with a cloud service. In short the only way to have/use the scripts is to upload your video to the SLR Drive service and stream it from there. You get 500gb of storage for I think $15 a month and I’m pretty sure you have to pay per script generation on top of that (they have some token system.) I think almost everyone here would agree that this isn’t ideal. I have no problem paying for these AI scripts but they really need to let people download them after they are generated and use them locally. It really sucks that such a cool technology will be seldom used because of how inconvenient they have made it logistically for most people. For anyone else interested I would suggest leaving feedback asking to make the scripts downloadable at one of the following links:
They could just charge a reasonable price to run your videos through their AI, and perhaps incentivize keeping an active subscription if you get x amount of free custom scripts per month… But not being able to DOWNLOAD the scripts is a total deal-breaker, even then.
Considering how there are only so many VR videos out there they might one day offer unlimited VR uploads as it’d mostly be redundant data on their servers from VR, although there is so much 2D content I doubt they could afford to even keep 1 instance of every porno ever made.
Yeah whoever their community manager is got pretty combative with people in the forums I posted so I don’t have a lot of hope that they will offer downloads. It’s a bummer because it’s such cool tech. Hey ya never know though if enough people request it then maybe.
That’s indeed expensive. The price for a year with 2TB on Dropbox or Google Drive is comparable to four months with 2TB on SLR.
I also wonder how SLR “got around” copyright with their AI scripting. They have been advocating loudly that all scripters here are violating copyright (derivate work in their opinion) because ES scripters don’t have explicit agreements with the studios. If SLR start creating scripts for uploaded videos from various studios not available on SLR, and also use it as a selling point to make money on it through a paid service, how does SLR rationalize that given their earlier standpoint? (mostly a rethorical question)
Naah not paying for AI scripts I tried the SLR ones a few months back there nearly passable but I wouldn’t pay for them. If like you say you could download them and use them as a base then it is a bit more tempting but still too expensive to even consider.
Yeah I was wondering about the copyright thing myself. It defiantly seems like they could be in sketchy territory but presumably they have a lawyer to discuss such things lol. Ultimately yeah, the price is too high to not allow downloads of scripts.
Understandable, I don’t know how long ago you tried their AI scripts. If it was a while ago it might be worth another shot. I think they have improved significantly since when they were first released but maybe that’s just me. It will never be the same as a custom made script but it would be a nice option for videos that will never see a custom script if only it were more convenient.,
I have no problem with a business making money and having proprietary software or code to do so. But I also think that once we get to a place of success, we should then give back our community.
This DOES NOT mean i expect them to release their proprietary code that generates them revenue. Something like their AI passthrough tool for example. Thats theirs, they made it, they can make money from it, thats fine. But AI scripting I dont feel is innovative, or in demand enough to justify keeping it closed source. Scripts just arent worth that much money and never will be.
In this very specific instance I feel it would be a better idea to release the tech and collaborate with the community gaining potentially more functionality and also the praise of the people that gave them money and brought them to that success.
My opinion can easily be explained by saying “im just someone who is just trying to get shit for free”. Which is fair and logical, but I feel what disproves that is my point about scriptings future,its potential to generate income, and its demand. Its low enough to warrant collaboration over a closed source proprietary solution.
