I can see it being interesting to create wacky fake videos of your friends for a week or two, but why would people still be using this next year?
I watch videos for two reasons. To see real things, or to consume interesting stories. These videos are not real, and the storytelling is still very limited.
A lot of realslop is fake too. As in staged but pretended as real for rage bait or annoyance bait. Or stupid shaggy dog story videos, where it seems like the thing will happen any moment now and then nothing happens.
One recent disillusionment for me was that lots of police body cam content is fake, as in basically amateur actors trying to enact a realistic police stop, they even put the usual bodycam numbers and letters and axos logo in the corner etc.
And so many other videos of things happening in the street are more or less obviously fake and staged. Still 90% probably don't notice.
I'm no Nostradamus, but I predict these models will be much better in a year.
In the right hands it's a new art medium. Some (few, maybe) midjourney generations are serious art.
So, for the same reason you'd go to a local art gallery

You only watch real things? Have you never watched a movie?
