It was a scam peoples
Targeted stupids investors were not supposed to share it
The link does not say in what way people were not supposed to share.
The link is the same kind of self-delusion people show around all of these generative tools: "look the faces are weird, the bird has wrong feathers, the cat has only 2 legs, nothing to worry about" while forgetting that most everything else in a clip works well and that it is the first-of-the-first releases which will get gradually better.
This shit is sold as the new Pixar
Yeah in a few months it will be a tool to help animators with shadows and lightings In some years it could produce a decent GIF of Pepe having sex with Sonic
At least it is less a scam than an NFT, still a scam
Still a waste of money and energetic ressources
Invest in it if you can, sure you can have a nice taxe refund in 3-5 years
Well I get that AI companies over promise and stuff, but that opinion piece really just confirmes what we're already able to see in said clips. Sure, many animals look eerie es hell and that monobloc excavation video is one hell of an acid trip, but there's already a lot there. More than I'm comfortable with.
