Oh really? I'm not an "Ai bro", I'm a creative bro :D

That, and I've seen how quickly these tools and technologies have evolved over the last few years. It's clear that we're moving from novelties to controllable, consistent systems.

you just proved his point it's an entirely different car.

"Creative"....

Not like it's a protected title, but yeah 😁

So creative that the car model changes altogether, along with its certainly intended passengers.

First was the draft, second a refinement (introduced passengers I didn't want) and then third was an iterative improvement. Sounds like a normal creative workflow to me :D

the fact that you have to arrange the whole picture with 3d models beforehand shows that this technology is functionally useless

Why? We've been doing that with "old-school" 3d modelling for ages now.. I just see this as an evolution of that. Eventually these scenes will be generated as pointclouds in real-time as we move around in them and instruct/design/create the scenes. This is steps towards that.

First law of visual effects: maximize control of all elements in the scene. You have literally 0 control there.

Well I disagree.. I changed the color of the shirt didn't I? Placed the camera, moved it, made the composition, chose the elements etc etc.
