Once AI generated video gets particularly good, they could probably save a lot of storage by 'compressing' videos into textual descriptions and a few key screenshots that are reimagined on demand by the AI

What you are describing reminds me of Nvidia DLSS3 AI frame generation. Isn't the storage cheaper than compute, especially graphics?

Is there a way to run these things deterministically with a seed? Totally AI-generated videos could just be compressed to text without any reference screenshots
