If the "couple holding hands and walking" one is the "Beautiful, snowy Tokyo city is bustling. ..." look at the traffic on the left side of the frame:

We also have the spontaneous creation and annihilation of wolves and the shape-shifting chair:

That chair is fucking wild.

The more I watch the cherry blossom one, the more I see how wrong it is, even the fact there is Cherry blossoms in the middle of winter is just totally wack. I've seen it snow in Tokyo before during spring when the cherry blossoms were out, but you don't have a foot of snow on the roof like in the clip.

Edit: I know the prompt asked for the cherry blossoms in snow, but it's still a wild amount of snow which is somehow not covering the trees.

If we are talking analogies, this is just Sora forgetting because of limitations of how the network handles the autoregressive dynamics. When they make a bigger version of Sora this will happen less. Sora aleady has unprecedented object permanence, see the woman walking in Tokyo scene where signs and people are reconstructed after two seconds of occlusion. Soon we will have object permanence following ten or more seconds of occlusion. Then a minute. Then three minutes. Then we will figure out a trick to store long term memory. What will people say then?
Our brain can't work that in our long-term memory btw, that why each time we remember something, we change minor aspects of said thing.
It's also what happens when we dream: everything is fluid. Things appear and disappear, people and places become someone or somewhere else, reading is difficult and hands are distorted.
Because these systems are dreaming about their datasets. Or hallucinating about it, as people have decided to call lately. I won't say this is a dead end. I will say we are very, very short of any sort of actual intelligence.
