It's still pretty inconsistent, slow, and expensive. I have claude write up massive prompts with reference images and it'll still come out poorly, but since I'm not generating much revenue with the product I use these models for, I just accept a lot of the sloppiness. I have tried a lot of different prompts, I think video just has a lot more free space to differ from our mental models than something like code that is a lot more well-defined.

Maybe for the west, sure. If you check Chinese websites like douyin or bilibili you will see AICG stuff is thriving right now.

For example check this: https://youtu.be/m7EcEne_d8Y I didn't believe ai generated video can be this good before watching it.

Google flow is such a joke comparing to seedance or mimimax h3.

The irony too is how much less censored the Chinese models are.

I would love to make AI art films but anything I can picture in my head I know will be too over the edge for silicon value sensibilities.

Then culturally, there is enough anti-AI sentiment in the West that it seems like a waste of time to invest time and effort into video unless actually marketing to non-western people.
