The only “cult” around AI is the anti-AI cult. The rest of us just acknowledge the reality that AI is now an everyday tool to use, and it’s revolutionising the world at a break-neck pace. It’s turning entire industries on their heads, doing in minutes for a handful of dollars what a year ago took 300 people millions of dollars to do.
The genie is out of the bottle, and it’s not going back in ever again. The genie is only going to get more powerful by leaps and bounds. The anti-AI crowd are going to be left behind, unemployed, and even worse for them - unemployable.

Literally what are you talking about.
I am describing how video-to-video models are better at ‘change this one thing’ than ‘make up a whole scene.’ It’s not metaphysics. It’s CGI for dummies.
Local models run on the same power draw as a video game, and some can process ten seconds of footage every five seconds. The best use - because ‘change this one thing’ works better - is processing things humans made the usual way. E.g., real actors on cardboard sets, and other things I actually said.

Nope, this is a bullshitters tool for people with no talent who want to pretend there is a shortcut to making good art.
The tool you are obsessed with is just a way of convincing yourself you made something when jt was stolen from other human artists when the AI you are using illegally stole a massive amount of content.

You’re having a much more contentious conversation inside your head. Please stop projecting traits you’d rather be arguing against, when someone points out, it does the thing it’s for. It demonstrably functions. You could make a coherent moral argument about how it was made - but you haven’t. You’ve railed against an imaginary frothing psychopath, because someone politely described utility.
How it was made is addressable, by the way. It’s fixable. There will be vegan models made from bespoke, licensed, and public-domain data. Will that change your opinion in any way? Or is that complaint decorative?

Stop referencing promises to prove your point, you sound like a door to door salesperson.
