@peter True. I don't know the cost either, but it IS a lot. Mainly because you would need to render these videos many times to get something useable.

@peter My dad sent me this,

It is 75% accurate and just monotonous and weird. It has the veneer of truth but gets most of the details wrong. The more I watched it the more confusion and dread I felt, and it's a video about beavers.

@peter Cheaper? Only because they had to pay Aronofsky.

AI is just empty. I think that's what we're experiencing. We can feel the human voice in things.

Anyway, I'll have to take a look, lol

@peter Ok, I've been warned, I guess. The danger is that this will become acceptable because it's the only thing any wealthy person will be willing to fund. Seriously. AI isn't the problem. It's our willingness to tolerate AI that's the problem. Kids will watch this shit and shrug. It's called the Shifting or Sliding Baseline. Every generation has a new normal even if it's worse than the previous normal.
