The explanation afterwards typifies my skepticism of machine learning and the kind of magical thinking that makes people think that limitless tasks can be automated beyond set domains.

Of course, algorithms with enough data are going to be effective at determining scary, tender or action segments from movies. But just like how they admit, a human touch is required to then piece it together in a way that resonates on an emotional level.

Trailers ultimately are pretty formulaic so they may be automatable but there are bound to be a whole host of areas where either a deterministic result is not practical or the noise of the algorithm response will be high enough to render the prediction meaningless.

Also too bad the movie's getting panned by reviews, I was kind of excited about watching this.

Moving this video to RFlagg's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Very true. Take a look at trailers made in the 80s and compare them to now. Very different in how they were created.

Also, you want SkyNet? Because that is how you get SkyNet.
