Really weird comments here. It's a VFX technique for cinematography, one of many of that kind (e.g. supporting wire removal). Cinematography in general is about showing something that doesn't exist, unless it's a documentary. Your only reaction is apparently calling censorship. Says a lot about the current Overton window and I think it's something you should reflect on.
No, I get it, and the benefits of putting what would have required a professional VFX team at (eventually) the fingertips of every amateur filmmaker are amazing.
It’s also alarming what’s possible when reassembling photons en masse becomes commoditized.
Would make economic sense for a ton more of "Choose your own Adventure" content
I can imagine watching Bandersnatch and getting rid of the game developer in frame 1. The remaining 90 minutes, his dad having a quiet, stress-free Tuesday.
Removing film crew, boom mics, and missed props from a scene would surely be useful to studios. It may even enable some shots that previously would have been impossible due to the positioning of cameras, etc.
I can see this being one of many AI tools for video editors. Combined with a handful of other tricks an SFX shop should have a tremendously higher productivity.
Netflix:
13 Reasons Why: Following concerns from mental health professionals, Netflix edited the first-season finale in 2019 to remove a graphic scene depicting the main character’s suicide.
Back to the Future Part II: In May 2020, it was discovered that a scene involving an adult magazine cover was censored in certain regions. Netflix stated they had received an edited foreign version from the studio and later restored the original scene.
Bird Box: Following public outcry in 2018, Netflix agreed to remove footage from the 2013 Lac-Mégantic rail disaster used in the film's scenes, as it was deemed insensitive.
The Devil Next Door: In 2019, Netflix added extra text to a map in this documentary series after complaints from the Polish Prime Minister regarding the portrayal of Nazi death camps.
Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj: An episode critical of the Saudi Arabian government was removed in Saudi Arabia in 2019 after a government takedown request.

Yes but imagine how bad Stalin’s reign of terror would have been with modern cinematographic techniques.

Removed brain cancer from xray films
Enjoying 5 seasons of chemistry lessons
CogVideoX continues to be an academic powerhouse model. So many papers built on this little thing.
I don't see any demos. Did I miss something? Not interested in running a Colab.
soo basically, they'll replace "coke can" with "redbull" or similar depending on who pays for ads in video? what else they gonna use it for?

ultimately we could get 4K remasters of old movies/shows where it's currently not worth redoing the FX

The idea of applying this modern magic to history & art is horrifying. The dream of Minitrue!
Presumably Netflix wants to erase smoking from its back catalog or some other bit of papier-mâché Stalinism.
Oh well, neat bit of auto-regressive theater.
You'll really hate this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_Fhb7JW93U
This will save a lot of money for the prod house, considering each country may have different censorship rules.

Also lets them quickly censor things the West doesn’t like, as a client state of particular nations in the Middle East
VPN sometime if you have doubts about that in western media, including US
State-approved VPN would alter the video and stream it to you. This is the only way to stay on the right side of the history
does no one recognize the fascists in the USA who envy this?
Why China?
I see this being used in many countries, especially in the West.
We've crashed head straight into a dystopian future. But worry not! The crash can be edited out of reality.
Which films have had items censored out of them for release?
