@davidgerard You will probably know who to ask, or maybe a reader will have the answer: I know there were people not insane about AI who tested the actual capabilities of the thing. Did they saw an improvement between 2024 and today?
(I'm not defining improvement because I don't want to exclude interesting answers from people who know more than I do)

@Laventeot basically not. the new version added sound. but *none* of the video generators can keep it together for more than 8 seconds.

you can do a bit better with other techniques that are or were called "AI", like face swaps etc. but those are actually reliable enough to use as CGI and they're just effects now. the pure generators are undirectable, which is the real death knell.
