Now you mention it, I can see there's a lot of demand for very cheap video ads on YouTube and such and I can see those kind of productions using AI slop and not really caring. I was just surprised by the calibre of client the poster above mentioned, such as HBO and Netflix and such. That sounded more like AI video making an impact in higher class professional work.

I mean I'm sure they would LIKE to use AI. What sane company wouldn't explore the possibility? That said I think any serious creative team is going to run into headaches with it really, really quickly and give up on it.

They do. I watched a person quit because they had to hand edit video frames that came out of AI. It would have been cheaper to do traditional VFX.
