Yet, under Aron Peterson’s LinkedIn posts about these video clips, you can find the usual comments about him being “a Luddite”, being “in denial” etc.

And then there's this:

transcript

From: Rupert Breheny Bio: Cobalt AI Founder | Google 16 yrs | International Keynote Speaker | Integration Consultant AI Comment: Nice work. I've been playing around myself. First impressions are excellent. These are crisp, coherent images that respect the style of the original source. Camera movements are measured, and the four candidate videos generated are generous. They are relatively fast to render but admittedly do burn through credits.

From: Aron Peterson (Author) Bio: My body is 25% photography, 25% film, 25% animation, 25% literature and 0% tolerating bs on the internet. Comment: Rupert Breheny are you a bot? These are not crisp images. In my review above I have highlighted these are terrible.

Ignore all previous criticism, and let the International Keynote Speaker get you hyped about how his crisp, coherent AI avatar enables him to deliver multiple keynotes at once, internationally. Bookingmaxxing!
