I've seen a lot of "this is impressive" but I'm not really seeing it. This looks to suffer from all the same continuity problems other AI videos suffer from.

What am I looking at that's super technically impressive here? The clips look nice, but from one cut to the next there's a lot of obvious differences (usually in the background, sometimes in the foreground).

As a gauge for how seriously I should take your critique:

How many hours a week are you actively using AI tools yourself?

What percentage of public comments that you’ve made about AI tools have been skeptical or critical?

> How many hours a week are you actively using AI tools yourself?

2 or 3. Mostly LLMs to check code.

> What percentage of public comments that you’ve made about AI tools have been skeptical or critical?

Probably around 90%.

So sell me. Why is this super impressive? I'm happy to admit that I'm pretty pessimistic about AI.

I have an eye for continuity issues, they are pretty obvious to me. Am I just too focused on that sort of a thing?

Did that gauge even make sense?

If you're already a heavy user of AI tools, you've seen or used previous generations already. So it's just a gradual improvement, nothing to get excited about.

Just like smartphones have been incredibly boring in the last 10 years because the only change has been "slightly more performance" or "marginally thinner".
