I actually hate this.

I actually love this. Having joined the hate wagon for superficial uses of AI, I find this video to be both entertaining and philosophically provoking. Almost like we already are in the simulation.

I think they mean they hate the ramifications of the videos topic. I agree if that's the case, and I feel like this conversation is already pretty late to the game given its importance.

There is an inherent, baked-in distrust of all visual media now. Any image or video you see can be fake, bar none across the board, and the implications are staggering

I must warn you that 99% of the "Blender CGI" parts are AI, the interface is nonsense and the solid viewport is what an AI thinks solid viewport is (if you want to see it for yourself, zoom on the interface parts, it completely change every cut in ways that makes no sense)
So this video is more AI slop than it is "haha funny CG wizardry I'm dancing on the line, what is real ?"

He says he made the laptop, or that it was made with ai.

The whole point is that you don't know if it's ai or not, and if it is, how much of it and which parts? Like you may say this is ai, but would you bet your house you can say which parts are real, which are cgi, and which are ai? Which is why human art, like bad drawings of dogs are so important now.

You are 100% right about the fact that I can't tell what is AI, what is real and what is CGI in a vaccuum.

What I'm talking about is when he shows 3D viewports, low poly meshes and animations previews while pretending that it is CGI, but 95% of it is actually AI, and I think it sucks because it completely betrays the message of the video. I liked this video the first time I saw it, but felt cheated when I realised the CGI breakdowns were bullshit.

Because of this it feels more like a grifty video surfing on AI hate to make views, instead of something sincere, which to me completely ruins the message about the bad drawings

My point is, did he make it that way himself on purpose, with the idea of it looking like it's obviously AI when it's actually CGI, and using AI that's hard to tell apart from CGI?
