The Chinese AI app sending Hollywood into a panic

From: BBC

A new artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by the Chinese company behind TikTok rocked Hollywood this week - not just because of what it can do, but what it could mean for creative industries.

Created by tech giant ByteDance, Seedance 2.0 can generate cinema-quality video, complete with sound effects and dialogue, from just a few written prompts.

Many of the clips said to have been made using Seedance, and featuring popular characters like Spider-Man and Deadpool, went viral.

Major studios like Disney and Paramount quickly accused ByteDance of copyright infringement but concerns about the technology run deeper than legal issues.

What is Seedance - and why the stir?

Seedance was launched to little fanfare in June 2025 but it is the second version that came eight months later that has caused a major stir.

"For the first time, I'm not thinking that this looks good for AI. Instead, I'm thinking that this looks straight out of a real production pipeline," says Jan-Willem Blom from creative studio Videostate.

Western AI video models have made progress in processing user instructions to make stunning images, he adds, but Seedance seems to have tied everything together.

Like other AI tools - Midjourney and OpenAI's Sora - Seedance can create videos from short text prompts. In some cases just one prompt seems to be producing high-quality videos.

It is particularly impressive because it combines text, visuals and audio in a single system, AI ethics researcher Margaret Mitchell says.

Seedance's impact is being measured by an unlikely benchmark: how well it generates a clip of Will Smith eating spaghetti.

Not only can Seedance create a remarkably life-like version of the star tucking into a plate of pasta, it has also spawned viral videos of Smith battling a spaghetti monster - and it looks and feels like a big-budget movie.

Many industry experts and filmmakers believe Seedance is a new chapter in the development of video-generating technology.

The complex action sequences it is producing look more realistic than its competitors, says David Kwok, who runs a Singapore-based animation studio called Tiny Island Productions.

"It almost feels like having a cinematographer or director of photography specialising in action films assisting you."

The Chinese AI app sending Hollywood into a panic

From: BBC

A new artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by the Chinese company behind TikTok rocked Hollywood this week - not just because of what it can do, but what it could mean for creative industries.

由TikTok母公司开发的新型人工智慧（AI）模型本周震撼好莱坞——不仅因其功能强大，更因其对创意产业的潜在影响。

作动词，表示“惊吓；使震惊；使害怕；使剧烈震动；使猛烈摇动”，英文解释为“to shock sb/sth very much or make them afraid”举个🌰：The news rocked the world. 这则消息震惊了全世界。

Created by tech giant ByteDance, Seedance 2.0 can generate cinema-quality video, complete with sound effects and dialogue, from just a few written prompts.

这款由科技巨头字节跳动打造的Seedance 2.0，仅需少量文字提示即可生成具备音效与对白的电影级影片。

prompt /prɒmpt/ 作名词，1）表示“（计算机屏幕上的）提示符（显示计算机已经准备好接受指令）”，英文解释为“a sign on a computer screen that shows that the computer is ready to receive your instructions”

📍在ChatGPT火热的今天，prompt通常指的是给模型的输入，用来激发或引导模型生成特定的输出或回答。简而言之，prompt是指用户提供给语言模型的一段文字或命令，以便模型据此理解用户的需求并给出相应的响应或信息。例如，在与像ChatGPT这样的大语言模型交互时，用户提出的问题或指令就是一个“prompt”。模型会根据这个prompt的内容分析、处理并生成回答或执行相关的任务。Prompt对于大语言模型来说是非常关键的，因为它直接决定了模型如何理解和回应用户的需求。

📍prompt中文里有译为“提示词”，prompt engineering 就是“提示工程/提示词工程”

2）表示“（给演员的）提词，提白”，英文解释为“words that are spoken to an actor who has forgotten what he or she is going to say during the performance of a play”

3）作动词，表示“促使；导致；激起”，英文解释为“to make sb decide to do sth; to cause sth to happen”举个🌰：His speech prompted an angry outburst from a man in the crowd. 他的讲话激起了人群中一男子的愤怒。

📺美剧《斯巴达克斯：血与沙》（Spartacus: Blood and Sand）中的台词提到：One cannot but wonder what would prompt such an act 不知他们为何遭此不幸。

4）作动词，表示“（尤指）给（演员）提词”，英文解释为“to help someone, especially an actor, to remember what they were going to say or do”举个🌰：I forgot my line and had to be prompted. 我忘词了，只好让人提词。

Many of the clips said to have been made using Seedance, and featuring popular characters like Spider-Man and Deadpool, went viral.

据称使用Seedance制作的众多影片片段——包含蜘蛛人（Spiderman, 蜘蛛侠）、死侍（Deadpool）等热门角色——迅速在网路疯传。

viral /ˈvaɪ.rəl/ 表示“（通过网络在个体之间迅速）病毒式的（传播）”，英文解释为“used to describe something that quickly becomes very popular or well known by being published on the internet or sent from person to person by email, phone, etc.”举个🌰：Here's a list of the top ten viral videos this week. 以下是本周十大病毒式传播的视频。

📍常用短语 go viral，字面意思就是“像病毒一样传播、扩散”，引申为“走红，十分流行，疯狂传播”，比如朋友圈xxx刷屏了，也可以说go viral. 📍名词形式virality.

Major studios like Disney and Paramount quickly accused ByteDance of copyright infringement but concerns about the technology run deeper than legal issues.

迪士尼、派拉蒙等大型影业公司随即指控字节跳动侵犯版权，但这项技术引发的担忧远不止于法律层面。

copyright /ˈkɒp.i.raɪt/ 表示“版权，著作权”，英文解释为“the legal right to control the production and selling of a book, play, film, photograph, or piece of music”举个🌰：Who owns/holds the copyright on this article? 谁拥有这篇文章的著作权？

📍单词“copyright”由词根“-right”（表示“权利”）和前缀“copy-”（表示“复制”）组成。想象你拥有这本书的复制权，这就是“copyright”。

infringement /ɪnˈfrɪndʒ.mənt/ 表示“违反，违背（规定、法律等）”，英文解释为“an action that breaks a rule, law, etc.”如：copyright infringement 侵犯版权。

What is Seedance - and why the stir? Seedance是什么？为何引起轰动？

Seedance was launched to little fanfare in June 2025 but it is the second version that came eight months later that has caused a major stir.

Seedance于2025年6月低调推出，但真正引发轰动的是八个月后问世的第二版。

stir /stɜːr/ 作动词，表示“激发，激起（强烈的感情）；引起（强烈的反应）”，英文解释为“to make someone have a strong feeling or reaction”举个🌰：The poem succeeds in stirring the imagination. 这首诗能够激发起想象力。

作名词表示“极大的兴趣；兴奋；骚动”，英文解释为“a lot of interest or excitement”举个🌰：The scandal caused/created quite a stir at the time. 那场丑闻在当时引起了极大的轰动。

"For the first time, I'm not thinking that this looks good for AI. Instead, I'm thinking that this looks straight out of a real production pipeline," says Jan-Willem Blom from creative studio Videostate.

创意工作室Videostate的扬-威廉．布隆（Jan-Willem Blom）表示：“这是我首次认为这个产品并非AI杰作，反而，我觉得它完全出自真实的制作流程。”

Western AI video models have made progress in processing user instructions to make stunning images, he adds, but Seedance seems to have tied everything together.

他补充道，西方AI影像模型在处理用户指令以生成惊艳图像方面虽有进展，但Seedance似乎将所有技术完美融合。

2）表示“令人惊奇万分的；令人震惊的”，英文解释为“extremely surprising or shocking”，如：a stunning defeat 惨败。

🎬 电影《惊天魔盗团2》（Now You See Me 2）中的台词提到：And the stunning revelation that FBI agent Dylan Rhodes ... 还有惊天大揭露联调局特工迪伦·罗兹…

📺 美剧《黑袍纠察队》（The Boys）第一季中的台词提到：Stunning! Absolutely stunning. 惊艳全场，太惊艳了！

Like other AI tools - Midjourney and OpenAI's Sora - Seedance can create videos from short text prompts. In some cases just one prompt seems to be producing high-quality videos.

就像Midjourney与OpenAI的Sora等AI产品，Seedance能透过简短文字提示生成影片。某些情况下，单一提示便能产出高品质影片。

It is particularly impressive because it combines text, visuals and audio in a single system, AI ethics researcher Margaret Mitchell says.

AI伦理研究员玛格丽特．米切尔（Margaret Mitchell）指出，其卓越之处在于将文字、视觉与音讯整合于单一系统。

visual /ˈvɪʒ.u.əl/ 表示“视觉材料（展示或说明用的图画、照片、影片等）”，英文解释为“something such as a picture, photograph, or piece of film used to give a particular effect or to explain something”举个🌰：The wildlife programme has some stunning visuals. 这个关于野生动物的节目中有一些令人惊叹的视觉效果。

Seedance's impact is being measured by an unlikely benchmark: how well it generates a clip of Will Smith eating spaghetti.

Seedance的影响力正透过一个意想不到的基准来衡量：它能否完美生成威尔．史密斯（Will Smith）吃义大利面的片段。

benchmark /ˈbentʃ.mɑːk/ 作名词，表示“基准（点）”，英文解释为“a level of quality that can be used as a standard when comparing other things”举个🌰：Her outstanding performances set a new benchmark for singers throughout the world. 她的精彩表演为全世界歌手树立了新典范。

作动词，表示“以…为标准来衡量”，英文解释为“to measure the quality of something by comparing it with something else of an accepted standard”举个🌰：His reports said that all schools should be benchmarked against the best. 他的报告指出，所有学校都应该以最好的学校为标准进行衡量。

Not only can Seedance create a remarkably life-like version of the star tucking into a plate of pasta, it has also spawned viral videos of Smith battling a spaghetti monster - and it looks and feels like a big-budget movie.

该系统不仅能创造出明星大啖义大利面的逼真画面，更衍生出史密斯对抗义大利面怪物的病毒式影片——其视觉效果与质感堪比高预算电影。
