There’s still something unnerving about AI art, as fantastic as some of it can be. It didn’t hit me until I was watching this video that AI still struggles to insert legible letters, numbers, and words. The title cards in this video are fine (probably not AI created), but if you look at things like printed pages or license plates in the other sequences, what it feels like to me more than anything else is when you’re dreaming and trying to read something and no matter how hard you try, you just can’t make it out—how it becomes increasingly frustrating the harder you try. (I remember reading somewhere not too long ago that this is common; we aren’t wired to interpret that kind of information in our dreams.)

I didn’t watch the entire thing, but I was impressed.
