I like how several of the figures just disappear into the floor mats at the end. And by like, I mean it’s interesting and I wonder what caused the “AI” to interpret things that way, not that I enjoyed it.

“AI, why do people disappear in to the mats?”
“Thank you for your question. Sometimes people just disappear. Would you like to learn how I do it?”

I also don’t understand how gymnasts do what they do, it seems impossible - AI, I don’t blame you.

AI will never be able to create “art.” Art is a synthesis and expression of so many human experiences, sensations, observations, musings, and memories that there is no room to list them all. Then there is the skilled manipulation of various types of media, materials, found objects, instruments, etcetera; all learned through trial and error. I don’t doubt that someday soon, a plotter might be created that can apply thick paint of any type to create a tactile-looking surface, but the plotter will never be moved by the performance or act. Good, valuable art has exactly one source: good artists.

The lack of understanding demonstrated in casual assertions about “AI”, is, ironically, more or less perfectly comparable to the “lack of understanding of the human body.”
There is no such thing as “AI.” There are a lot of different tools which use a variety of machine learning approaches and tools to do specific tasks. This example is particularly egregious in as much as it fails to engage—at all—with what generative media systems are designed to do and how they work.
