An AI short film, "Invincible Superman," by Douyin creator @小黄导AIGC just hit 355K likes:
A boy unexpectedly gains an "infinitely amplifying" physique that lets him copy and steal others' superpowers. From being saved, he keeps stacking speed, strength, mind control, laser eyes... until he transforms into a Homelander-like ultimate being. The question it poses: what would a person do with infinitely amplifying superpowers?
The cinematography is strikingly film-like — lighting and material details are highly realistic, almost passing for live action at first glance. But look closer and there's still an ineffable "AI feel." Top-tier by current AI video standards.
Dialogue scenes flow naturally with coherent blocking — no deformed fingers or glitches spotted.
Expressions, eye contact, and lip sync are mostly natural, though the emotional beats feel a bit overacted — that's where the AI-ness hides.
28 minutes long, 355K likes, 166K shares, disclosed by the creator as AI-generated. The top comment is doing the math: "Did these 30 minutes cost 20,000 yuan to make?"
AI can now tell a complete story. "Actors are going to lose their jobs" isn't entirely a joke.
When AI can tell even a story about power and humanity, what is left that it can't learn from us?
