    The economy is held up by the belief that stuff like this will someday look "normal" to people. Hard not to get pessimistic

    Gotta love how some intern had the wise idea to shoot vertically starting at 0:47 because like totally that's what the patriots woulda done.

    Actually so embarrassing that Time has to endure posting these for the rest of the year and no one caring about them

    Because AI doesn't have eyes, it needs artists (photographers, actors and 3D modellers) to have already perceived and rendered something first in order for it to work. That rendering labor is re-used in AI images, un-credited and unpaid labor by design. Use the labor, but abandon the laborer. That's the point.
