Sure there are limitations but this is still absurdly impressive.

My benchmark is the following: imagine if someone 5 years ago told you that in 5 years we could do this, you would think they were crazy.

I would not. Five (six, seven?) years ago, we had style transfer with video and everyone was also super euphoric about that. If I compare to those videos, there is clearly progress but it is not like we started from zero 2 years ago.

I don't really know what you mean by "euphoric", this is a term I only know from drugs. Can you define it?

"Blissful/happy", which is why the word euphoria is often abused to be sinister

It means "extremely happy", but it's usually used to refer to a particular moment in time (rather than a general sentiment), and so the word sounds a bit out of place here, to me.
