Can you point to a film that has used this technology? Can you point to anything that substantiates those numbers? Genuinely asking, my mind is open to the possibility but I don't want to take it on faith. (I watched that Kalshi ad to be clear.)

Not those numbers, but you might be interested in Netflix using generative AI:

> Using AI-powered tools, they were able to achieve an amazing result with remarkable speed and, in fact, that VFX sequence was completed 10 times faster than it could have been completed with traditional VFX tools and workflows

> The cost of [the special effects without AI] just wouldn’t have been feasible for a show in that budget

The best example I've seen so far is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx8rMzlG29Q

Personally, I'm not particularly impressed. Yes, I'm impressed by the technology and the fact that we've reached a point where something like this is even possible, but in my opinion, it's soulless and suffers from the same problems as other AI videos. More emphasis was placed on length than quality, and I've seen shorter, traditionally produced videos that had more heart. That's probably because these videos were created by amateurs who thought the AI would fill in all the gaps, but that only underscores the need for human artists with a keen eye.
