Nobody else really cares about the lower order bits of the idea but they do care that those lower order bits are consistent. The simplest example is color grading: most viewers are generally ignorant of artistic choices in color palettes unless it’s noticeable like the Netflix blue tint but a movie where the scenes haven’t been made consistently color graded is obviously jarring and even an expensive production can come off amateur.

GenAI is great at filling in those lower order bits but until stuff like ControlNet gets much better precision and UX, I think genAI will be stuck in the uncanny valley because they’re inconsistent between scenes, frames, etc.

Yup, 100% agreed on that, and mentioned this caveat elsewhere. As you say - people don't pay attention to details (or lack of it), as long as the details are consistent. Inconsistencies stand out like sore thumbs. Which is why IMO it's best to have less details than to be inconsistent with them.
