"Happy Birthday to me! 🎉 As the director, I'm thrilled to release my new short film #MONSTERS story where @grok generated 99% (DAMN!) of the visuals from @xAI. Watch, react, and share your thoughts! 👇 It's essential to me.

I thought Grok Imagine would be the answer, but he’s completely useless. It’s still impossible to control the character’s gaze – he doesn’t look where he’s supposed to, no matter what prompt you enter. The video is rubbish when it comes to physics. I can’t tell a story, even a short one, using Grok Imagine. I can’t stage a bloodbath in a sauna with the yakuza because of the censorship. It feels as though Grok Imagine becomes as boring as Amish people. No control, no creativity. Pictures that disappear. What isn’t working for you?
Hollywood has nothing to fear from these AI generators just yet. Short videos, however impressive they may be, are no substitute for a 1.5–2-hour film that you simply can’t tear yourself away from. But there’s no denying that the advertising market has changed beyond recognition. From idea to execution — not weeks or days, but mere minutes.
I love these clueless claims that ‘Hollywood is cooked’. And everything they show - it's random videos, trailers, and the wet dreams of enthusiasts. Most people are unable to tell a short story, and there’s so much pomp and circumstance, it’s as if they’d made a film that grossed 100 million. Until you can tell stories rather than post that sort of pretentious rubbish, you’re just a bunch of amateurs.
