    You could argue there's nuthin' here regulah CGI couldn't handle.

    An' if'n they had run with that ... well, what's wrong with a Pixar-style ad for toys?

    What this shows is the hostility to AI once you know it's AI.

    It's a trooly visceral thing you cain't ignore.

    You would naht wish these guys to rebrand as Toys Were Them, but anywan relyin' too heavily on AI in their front facin' presentations clearly have objectschwaahns to overcome.

    I love the commercial. I didn't notice any changes in the
    boy's face but it could be attributed to age progression.

    Ad agencies are against AI because it's going to cut into
    profits when companies produce their own commercials.

    As to the other complainers, people are always going to
    gripe about something.

    I have developed some 3-second AI videos, and can't
    wait until Sora becomes available to all.
