I think a lot of it is 'a dog trained to play the piano at a 4th grade level' effect: yes, it's really notable and impressive, but it gets old fast and isn't obviously useful beyond the novelty. You need to put in a lot more effort to get any actual value out of these tools and at that point their strengths and limitations become a lot more clear and it's obvious that they are not an everything machine.
I agree. But also I'd add that I'd be impressed and wowed if what you showed is "Actually, now the dog is playing piano at 5th grade level" or "Now the same dog can play the drums!".
Getting a "WTF are you talking about, it's a dog playing the piano, why aren't you impressed!" doesn't help the case. I've already seen a dog play the piano and this doesn't appear to be any better than the last time I saw it.
I'm not seeing comparisons of this to other video generation that already exists. That's what I want to see. Is this faster, more crisp, better at continuity? Why is this impressive vs competition?
> it's obvious that they are not an everything machine
Whoever said they were an everything machine?
