I don't think Humans are the target market for this model, at least right now.

Sounds like the use case is creating worlds for AI agents to play in.

This kind of announcement without an appropriate demo to verify their claims is pretty common with DeepMind at this point. They barely even discuss their limitations, so as always, this should be taken with a grain of salt.

And made hands 10x worse. Now hands are good, text is good, image is good, so we’ll have to play where’s Waldo all over again trying to find the flaw. It’s going to eventually get to a point where it’s one of those infinite zoom videos where the AI watermark is the size of 1/3rd of a pixel.

What I’d really love to see more of is augmented video. Like, the stormtrooper vlogs. Runway has some good stuff but man is it all expensive.

First AI thing that’s made me feel a bit of derealization…

…and this is the worst the capabilities will ever be.

Watching the video created a glimmer of doubt that perhaps my current reality is a future version of myself, or some other consciousness, that’s living its life in an AI hallucinated environment.

I wouldn't say that the text problem has been fully fixed. It has certainly gotten a lot better, but even gpt-image-1 still fails occasionally when generating text.
