I instantly skip anything AI that attempts legitimacy. I’m irritated at the attempt to grab my attention with complete fakery.
I do occasionally watch some of the disturbing fever-dream clips simply because they are hallucinatory and seem to flow the way a human mind might grasp facets of something and amplify or distort the flow.
like the ones created using googles VEO AI program, or whatevers thats called to create realistic"interviews of past cultures"
