2 questions immediately spring to mind:

Is the "AI" placement/branding a retrofit to cash in on #AIHype?

Or is there an actual application for generative video "in the field" - & if so, WHO'S THE MARKET?!

[if I turn off my capitalist-apocalypes brain for a moment I think of it as an animation-studio-in-a-box, but that still leaves open the 'who?!']

Yes.
And yes.
The market are YouTubers and small media. The processing power of these things opens up some new possibiliea for v-tubers and other virtual media entities to live stream from real world locations.
