@kauzerei My understanding is that it's really hard to automatically generate longer videos, so this may have had a human in the loop selecting the best from their slop machine and stringing it together. That small creative direction probably filed off the roughest edges.

@orangutanlibrarian I'm still mad at my brain for not paying attention and blindly waiting for a good part to begin. Also I wouldn't call that creative direction. A creative person could do so much with this simple idea "Under alien costumes are actual aliens looking exactly like the costumes", generate so much humor and comment on culture, but we have this empty shell instead. It's like if I'd had a youtube video idea of biking across Germany in 48 hours, and then just generated a route from Konstanz to Netherlands with google maps and called it a day. Why implement? The computer can draw the trajectory I would have ridden, watch that!
