so much uncanny valley happening, but pretty good otherwise.

That’s crazy. AI is fucking amazing. It super sucks as a story, and honestly I expected LLMs to get better at this sort of thing long before we could synthesise visuals like this. But as a showcase of video models it’s incredible. The faces look better than computer game faces that cost tens of thousands, hundreds when you include the hand-animation. Even just from the perspective of looking at the face animation and lip sync by itself, ignoring the quality of the face, it’s better than most AAA game cutscenes.
