@randahl Congrats! That was long due. One quick complaint: AI generated leopard, it is just unbearable. Not sure if it is just me, but this generated videos give me actual motion sickness, even several second clips - brain just immediately picks up that physics is distorted and rejects it

@via4 I am quite sure, the leopard is not AI generated. It is stock video footage from Storyblocks.

The footage may have been slowed down though, which could be why you feel it is unnatural.

In general, I do not use AI footage because I feel it works against the credibility of the show.

I have used AI to color a few of the black and white photos though, and I also disclose that in the video description.

@randahl no questions to color correction, clean up, resolution adjustment etc.
But this leopard, omg, the lighting, the way his fur bounces makes it look very ai-ish to me. if it is real, it reminds me of an amateur photographer I used to know, who managed to make his photos so that people believed the subject was cut and placed to a different background while it was all originally shot like this

@via4 to be sure I just checked. There are multiple clips of this animal from various angles. Descriptions state it is recorded in a zoo. Clearly not AI.

@randahl Thank you for checking. I'm getting paranoid, everything seems like AI now :)

@rasmus91 I just hope it will become the new normal and that this is not a one-off.

But it gives me confidence that there has been a consistent exponential growth the last two years.

@randahl I was one of those views this morning - finally had time to listen to the episode (have you considered a podcast? - I don't actually watch the video, sorry - your words matter, not the video).

@WTL @randahl It is actually worth it to watch the video as well as listening to it. Randahl is really good at creating a visual flow that underscores the points he’s making.

@danullen @randahl Maybe, but I get the point well enough via audio. Some folks need the visual. 🤷🏻

@WTL that is a good thing. I was worried that people who prefer podcasts would not get much out of the show without the visuals, so I am pleased it works for you.

@randahl @danullen I rip the audio from your show and dump it into @overcastfm and listen to it while running.

@WTL I have. Patreon has the option of automatically pushing the content onto Spotify as well, so I might do that.
