The demo video looks amazing. Of course, every AI demo looks like it's the most amazing thing that's ever happened. I eagerly await getting off the waitlist so that I can try it out myself.
Wow are the sounds also generated with the video? Did not expect something like this so soon. If I were in the film industry in anything other than a producer/editor role I'd be shaking in my boots right about now.
Each clip in the video is about a second long. All current video generation models start showing their weirdnesses when there is too much movement. None of these can keep that impression of consistency for longer times. I can spot problems in almost all of the clips in this teaser (robot leg is the most obvious one).
Is there a concise industry-term for "amazing demo, terrible irl"?
Not saying this is one (the demo looks great). But the last 12 months of any AI/ML tools has been 1) demand powered by an amazing, over-hyped demo followed by 2) incredibly lackluster usage as people realize it was overpromised.
You can argue any product as a gap b/w expectation and reality, but the last year has taken it to an absurdity.

[ 5.6 ms ] story [ 55.6 ms ] threadI felt the real posted here looked fake, or very highly edited and cherry picked.
Otherwise the thread fills with comments about the waitlist and/or how there isn't enough information yet.
