12 months ago "way too many stupid errors" was constant news. Today, you rarely hear about those anymore.

Sure, the novelty of the errors has worn off a bit and thus the reporting. Nevertheless the quality has improved immensely in this regard.

Also, AI video generation is now so good and accessible that it is very, very regularly used for memes, disinformation and proper (short) movie projects. AI image generation even more so (Mitch McConnell anyone?).

Pretending progress hasn't been mindboggling is insane.

Maybe people just got bored of reporting and reading about them.

Maybe it got a lot less and I just got used to it. True.

Still feels too much for me. Breaks my workflow for no reason. Too much overhead for me, if I can't trust the output

Ah yes, memes are clearly the sign of massive progress.

Yes, if they are made with new technology and the quality is good enough they certainly are.

AI generated video memes were NOT a thing a year ago. Yes, the AI video generation in itself was a meme (Will Smith eating spaghetti), but now there are tons of convincingly good AI video memes about things like sports events generated by average Joes. It is proof of the capability and accessibility of the technology even if the use of it is mundane.

Everybody and their dog playing snake on their Nokia 3310 was similarly mundane, but also a sign of the end of the era of Gameboys and the beginning of (normie) mobile gaming.
