My boss saw an AI demo and thought we could make a full video in 5 minutes

A developer's boss, impressed by AI-generated clips, believed a full video could be created in minutes by simply typing a prompt. However, the developer explained that producing a video with a story, characters, and pacing is far more complex than generating short, random clips. While AI video generation is powerful, achieving a specific vision still requires significant human effort and multiple attempts, highlighting the difference between AI's capability and its ability to perfectly realize a user's exact imagination.

This account highlights the gap between public perception of AI video capabilities and the practical realities of production, unlike many reports focusing solely on technological advancements.
