Not important. It’s a video generator, type some text and it generates the doorbell camera view of a cat firing a machine gun.
Was ahead of the open source solutions, and probably everyone else for a good while. Now the Chinese (unfortunately proprietary) ones has gotten just as good if not better.
Also they tried to sell it as a new way to produce films. Except the stuff it makes is nowhere near ready for that. So people used it as a toy, generating joke clips / AI slop.
The amount of compute needed to generate videos is like an order of magnitude higher than pictures and text. They have to be bleeding money like crazy from this thing.
Just checked the grok side of the internet. Apparently they are changing their $10 per month plan to allow users to generate “a few creations per day”.(Used to be basically free) Looks like they weren’t making money either, just operating at a loss to keep up with the competition.
Just think of it as a few bundles of straw to the camel’s back. The raising energy cost from the Iran kerfuffle will also add some bundles.
Personally I am optimistic. But again, money has never been so fake. Operating at a loss while being valued in the billions seems to be a common thing these days.
I’m so out of the loop for AI tools, is this a big app? Important or anything? I saw Disney canceled a contract with openAi (but it was a tweet)

So it’s too soon to get excited for the bubble pop? :(
At least they’re seeing what’s too expensive to be useful
