Blooper-Ridden AI Animations Are A Thing Now

Quite a few YouTube channels have popped up lately, with a bunch of AI-
generated animations of a few minutes each, on SF-related themes:
steampunk, retrofuturism, alien planets, fantastical costumes.

Of course there tend to be glitches, ranging from the disconcerting to the
hilarious. Flying cars which inexplicably still have wheels; several
1950s-style retrofuturistic videos with robots styled just like 1950s
kitchen appliances -- I thought these were wonderful, much better than the
actual robots we saw in 1950s movies.

People eating things in weird ways, walking in the wrong direction, an arm
belonging to one character turning into an arm belonging to another
character, and even more peculiar things.

One scene showed a bunch of people in swimwear relaxing around a centre
area which looked like a cross between a swimming pool and a tennis court.
It had water, it had a net. And it had somebody walking on that water ...

I wonder where we go from here? Will future advances fix the glitches?
Then there is the high energy cost of running the computations to produce
these images -- that will have to translate into actual money being
charged to the users at some point. Will there be a crash in the
popularity of AI once the free ride is over?

Whichever way you look at it, I think we are in a transitional era which
will not last long.
