In the past month, not one but two pieces of AI-generated content featuring the fashion brand Balenciaga went viral. The much bigger deal was the photo of Pope Francis<\/a> in a white puffer coat (and absolutely dripping in swag) that a lot of people thought was real. But I\u2019d argue the more interesting one was a video that imagined Harry Potter<\/em><\/a> if it were a Balenciaga campaign in the late \u201980s or early \u201990s.<\/p>\n

The clip, which is just under a minute and features mostly zoom-ins of recognizable characters and a deep house backbeat, isn\u2019t really all that interesting in itself, unless you happen to be both a big Harry Potter<\/em> person and a major fashion stan. Unlike the photo of Balenciaga Pope, the point isn\u2019t to be like, \u201cHaha, you got fooled by AI!\u201d Instead, what\u2019s interesting to me is the question of just how long we, as a society, have before AI-powered video becomes most of what we think of as visual entertainment.<\/p>\n
