Reddit User Slams AI Video Slop: Copying Seinfeld is Plagiarism and Technically Lazy
CloudlessRain- · reddit · 2026-08-08
A Reddit user posted a rant criticizing the AI video generation community's obsession with recreating existing shows like Seinfeld and Star Trek.
They argue two main points: first, it's unethical, amounting to plagiarism and identity theft of the original creators. Second, it's technically lazy—simply asking a model to reproduce its training data doesn't push its capabilities. The real challenge lies in prompting original concepts the model hasn't been trained on. They urged creators to stop making slop and focus on true art.
