The new global study, in partnership with The Upwork Research Institute, interviewed 2,500 global C-suite executives, full-time employees and freelancers. Results show that the optimistic expectations about AI's impact are not aligning with the reality faced by many employees. The study identifies a disconnect between the high expectations of managers and the actual experiences of employees using AI.

Despite 96% of C-suite executives expecting AI to boost productivity, the study reveals that, 77% of employees using AI say it has added to their workload and created challenges in achieving the expected productivity gains. Not only is AI increasing the workloads of full-time employees, it’s hampering productivity and contributing to employee burnout.

I was never able to get appreciably better results from 11 labs than using some (minorly) trained RVC model :/ The long scripts problem is something pretty much any text-to-something model suffers from. The longer the context the lower the cohesion ends up.

I do rotoscoping with SDXL i2i and controlnet posing together. Without I found it tends to smear. Do you just do image2image?

The voice library 11labs added includes some really reliable and expressive models. I've only trained a few voice clones, but I find them totally usable for swapping out short lines to avoid having to bring a subject back in to record. I'll fabricate a sentence or two, but for longer form stuff, I only use AI for the rough cuts. Then I'll practically record as a last step, once everything's gone through revision cycles. The "generate a few and chop em together" method is fine for short clips, but becomes tedious for longer stuff.

Funnily enough, when I say roto, I really just mean tracing the subject to remove it from the background. Background removal's so baked in to things now, I dunno if people even think of it as roto. But I mostly still prefer the Adobe solutions on this - roto brush in After Effects, for the AI/manual collaboration. As for roto in the A Scanner Darkly sense, I've played with a few of the video to video models, but mostly as a lark for fluff B-roll.
