I am not near switching to Apple, but the thought entered my mind for the first time.

Maaaan I have bad news for you:

Apple picks Google's Gemini to run AI-powered Siri coming this year

Google's market value surpassed Apple for the first time since 2019 as it rolls out updated artificial intelligence features.

Time just released an AI series on the American Revolution. Thoughts:

1. Pretty good but there is still a smidge of Uncanny Valley there
2. Lipsync is still meh

However:

1. The latest AI tools are helping to solve this
2. This democratizes filmmaking, which will allow more creative storytellers into the filmmaking scene...there are no excuses for creating ANYTHING you want now!!

OTOH, I don't know how I feel about this:

1. I love stuff like Toy Story
2. I'm VERY excited to see what amazing creations people will do with this technology
3. ...but will it ever have the spark of a real performance?

We have motion capture, sure. And stuff like Polar Express, I guess. Will be interesting to see where this goes!
