    Prompt: Animated scene features a close-up of a short fluffy monster kneeling beside a melting red candle.

AI clearly has no fucking idea what "knees" are.

    Photorealistic closeup video of two pirate ships battling each other as they sail inside a cup of coffee.

Real fuzzy understanding of "battling" "sail" and "cup" here

    A young man at his 20s is sitting on a piece of cloud in the sky, reading a book.

A book with prismatic pages

The whole thing with AI is "do we get points for vibes?" and if you're a booster, the answer is "of course!" but if you actually need to use it for something it's fucking bullshit. Take their goddamn superbowl ad:

"generate storyboard images for the dragon scene in my script..."

sure thing. Here's a bunch of bullshit images that aren't even the same aspect ratio, don't tell a story, are in no way sequential and reflect a child's understanding of 'storyboard!'

I know storyboard artists. I know the best goddamn storyboard artists in the fucking world. Here's what storyboards look like. They're like boards... that tell a story! What's funny as fuck is that a really talented storyboard artist had to draw a storyboard for an ad that not only illustrated (poorly) that an AI could do their job, it spent $7m to do so.

But since Joe Football has no fucking idea what a storyboard is, it's pretty easy to convince him that an AI will do his storyboards.
