Audiences attending the SXSW premiere of “The Fall Guy,” starring Ryan Gosling, were not happy about having to watch a sizzle reel before the movie that touted the promises of AI.
AI is a tool that makes us X% more productive (X is still debatable and bound to change)
But instead of making our job X% easier or let us earn X% more, work X% less, corporations are hellbent to fire X% of the workforce because that makes the most money.
The fuck is a “sizzle reel”. I mean, I get what it probably is from context, but who comes up with this shit
I am generally confused as to how you’ve never heard the term before and are just assuming it’s a new phrase.
Da fug is a sizzle reel. Sounds like a term 1st graders came up with…
A short video normally no longer than 3 minutes designed to show off a product, usually in the form of a montage.
It’s an old term so I can’t imagine how you could live your life and not hear the term.
Marketing and executive work shares many similarities with being in first grade. Flashy colors and stupid slogans go pretty far when the target has a child’s brain.
The target being the executives who will approve the marketer’s work.
I’m dying. 🤣
When and in which context would I have heard this?
When
Any time a product is being shown off.
Context
Fucking anything. Apple showing off its new iPhone features, a studio showing clips from its upcoming shows, and an actor showcasing their previous work.
Understand that many people live their entire lives without caring one tiny bit about any of those things.
Elitists who make money from nothing or off the backs of others also invent catchy phrases to glorify and sanitize their worthless activities.

I’ve heard of it before and I don’t work in advertising or video production. Why is everyone focusing on this term like these guys invented it?
Super common in my industry, which is corporate events, not show biz
Yeah, reading that phrase already has me a bit pissed off. Gonna cooldown before watching the conference itself 😂
You read my mind 👏
I’ve heard it before, i thought the context was for a specific product, or like a video resume for visual artists… not a video to be shown to the public at a conference
Reminds me of the Artifect reveal.
I was there in person. From hype to disappointment so fast.
I’m almost jealous. Real Valve low-point with them tying it into their marketplace crap also. We didn’t need another ‘CS:GO Lotto’ fiasco.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Video emerged on social media of the audience loudly booing a conference sizzle reel that featured several industry leaders speaking positively about AI.
The reel featured several speakers and panelists from previous events at the conference, including Peter Deng, vice president of consumer product at ChatGPT-creator OpenAI, and Sandy Carter, COO of Unstoppable Domains, among others.
She added that the audience showed “a high level of engagement and interest,” and had voiced their “enthusiasm and support for positive developments” in the field of AI.
Variety noted that much of the audience was likely made up of professionals in the film industry, including actors and screenwriters who just months ago were on strike — and for whom AI was a major concern.
In resolving the strikes, the studios made several concessions on AI, agreeing to prohibit it from being used to rewrite original material for scripts, and requiring the consent of actors before reproducing their likenesses digitally.
Axel Springer, Business Insider’s parent company, has a global deal to allow OpenAI to train its models on its media brands’ reporting.

AI has all the popularity of the spoiled vaping neighbor kid and his new drone.
Businesses love it because it will vaporize the workforce. Consumers hate it because they know they’re going to get a severely degraded experience in return.
and tech workers have mixed feelings about it, because it’s made their job 10x easier whilst making them 10x more expendable
What? No it hasn’t.
Which part of my statement are you objecting to. I can definitely say the first part is true (N=20), and say the second part is somewhat true and growing (N=5), from my own personal observations of friends, family, and colleagues.
found the AI
guess I found the new “ok, boomer” blanket dismissal phrase… this will be a fun decade
Fuck Off Shillbot 9000
There are impressionable youths for you to lie to elsewhere
Spot on
Deadass fam, no cap.
I was saying Boo-urns.
Carter’s urge to “be an AI thinker” didn’t go over well. “You know your business is going to be disrupted. You need to stop resisting and start learning,” she said, her words drowned out by the crowd.
Stop resisting!!
“Disrupted”. Grooooaaannn
You don’t like unemployment or being paid less so the billionaires can take more? Why are you so anti-progress?
Do you guys not have prompts?!
I get this reference.
