The machine does a half-decent job of ‘basketball ghosts on a moving train’ and people still go ‘yeah but it’s not flawless.’
Last year this tech produced goop.
Two years ago it was impossible.
Your cynicism is dull and performative.
‘Oh it’s only stealing existing footage.’ Show me one million cats. Let me see that video. Even the failures are mostly some continuity fuckups between photorealistic frames of basically what someone asked for. In one sentence, by the way. We are still talking about whole-ass videos rendered from two dozen English words vaguely describing an arbitrary, nonsensical, and often deliberately stupid scene. Meanwhile even static-image prompts often involve twiddling numbers and keywords to tease out what the person wanted, because otherwise you get issues like these on the first thing that came out.
Right now is the worst this tech will ever be.
All these blatant issues are the seven-fingered hands you don’t really see anymore. Remember when everyone scoffed they’d be able to spot AI, because of those issues? Well… go check. Eighteen months is a long time when things move this fast.
