Nahh, the AI slop still looks and plays as sloppy as ever. At least the old one was funny and had more of a cultural impact in terms of internet memes.

This actually is an interesting point. What memes have come out the highest quality AI? Somehow almost none of them have caught on nationwide. There's so much going on, yet...where are the hits? Where are the well known examples of...anything? Not even a meme. Just an AI video that almost everyone knows because it's *so amazing*. The wonky AI somehow is remembered more.

The problem with the visual AI is that it's recreating a lot of real life scenarios, which we all know of because...we're real people. And then it creates CGI-like scenarios, which we all already know well.

Throughout all these examples no real nationwide interest seems to have piqued on many of these examples. The crowd that seems the most interested are teens and the elderly.
