Thanks, I hate it. Can you point me to any examples of AI-generated content that's actually worth reading/watching/listening to?

You're going to see more and more ambitious stuff soon. We're beginning to have the ability to control characters, have consistency, block, and steer.

There was a Mario Brothers music video set in a swampy trailer park, actually watched that to the end.

If the singing is ML-generated then I think that's pretty impressive too.

Looks like the channels started out as still images with Ken Burns Effect only 2 years ago. That's some progress.
