Would that have taken you weeks though?

I imagine reading through a few articles and examples could have gotten you there. I never heard of Manim before but found these pretty quickly:

I am not trying to pick at you, but it feels like what I am currently able to do with AI, shave off a few hours, but not weeks.

I agree with you the ease of cutting through boilerplate is a big win, but it also doesn't register as weeks worth of work for me...

A single graph might save hours. A full feature series where each graph type has yet new syntax to learn is indeed much more. Especially when there's followups, "let's make the graph move over the left half of the screen and then the next animation shows in the right half?" which again were one shot done in minutes with AI. For me just to gain the context of how to move the animation into the left half smoothly and then move all animations that were drawn into a separate animation file into this file and reposition each element from that second file into the right half of the screen would have probably taken a day.

We tend to underestimate engineering time generally. So i wouldn't look at the above and say "that seems doable in X hours". I stand strongly by my assertion that it saved me a week (at least!) all up.

Fair enough. More power to you then. I'll keep looking for some other examples. Thanks for sharing!
