    You can really tell that the AI can only put complexity into a scene for a max of 3 seconds in this

    I love the part where at 2:17 where the word AMERICA morphs into MAMERLED and then into AMERICo on the page in one unbroken shot. Phenomenal work, everyone.

    This is the most unnatural thing I've ever seen in my life. It would be more watchable if the cast were amusement park animatronics.

    You know the team is really proud of their slop when the credits are not available at the video or the description or at their website

    Thomas Paine would strangle Darren with his own hands if he was somehow alive to see this horrific atrocity.

    Everybody make sure to thank Salesforce for this amazing content! When I think “high quality short form series that definitely isn’t just AI slop”, I think Salesforce.
