A “Sweeping Update” or Just More Cheap Tricks?

Oh, what a surprise! Yet another tech company has decided to throw their hat into the “AI update” ring. This time it’s Runway, who seem to think they can actually generate video with AI. I mean, come on, a toddler with a smartphone could probably do a better job. But hey, who am I to stifle ‘innovation’?

Possible Implications: Yeah Right

Of course, the fanboys will eat this up, imagining a future where their favorite AI effortlessly crafts their daily TikTok video. To them, I say good luck – I hope your AI has better music taste than you. But for the rest of us, we might as well stick to doing things the old fashioned way. The odds that this “AI-created video tool” will churn out anything worth watching are about as high as winning the lottery on a rainy Tuesday in February.

Closing Thoughts: Don’t Hold Your Breath

So that’s it, folks. An AI video tool from Runway. Just what the world needed, right? Wrong. But don’t worry, I’m sure this won’t be the last overhyped, underwhelming AI ‘innovation’ we’ll see this year. Brace yourselves – the era of AI mediocrity continues.
