“If you’ve ever seen a video comparing AI-generated videos from just two years ago to those today, you’ll appreciate the jump in progress, and the feeling of whiplash it causes. Videos generated in 2023 were, frankly, abominations: clunky, looking like they were drawn by a kindergartener, and with physics-breaking movements. In 2025, however, they are terrifyingly real. … AI offers a world of opportunities. In the same way that people born even in my generation never imagined a powerful computer in their pockets capable of connecting people with video calls across the world, answering questions in mere seconds, or broadcasting thoughts instantly, imagining that AI could become powerful enough to produce an entirely fake video about people who have never existed was the stuff of science fiction. And yet, here we are.” (07/17/25)
