I used Grok Imagine to generate all the XKCD comics and I'd say like 80% of them came out really great! I'll regen the ones that have some wonk when Imagine improves.

I tried all of the video models and Imagine was the only one that came out with anything usable. What a cool new world we're navigating.

It failed at the first "re-imagination" tried: the content as-if stated (say) that "the masses attract accordingly to the square of distances", and the rendered animation embraced a completely different law.

To be able to express - speak, draw, act etc. - does not mean that the expression is correct, truthful, insightful etc.

It remains paramount to stop people mis-talking about "intelligence": intelligence simply is not there.
