Google #DeepMind made absolutely no improvement in the handwriting over the older #VEO model on AI Studio.

Might make a great test to guard against deep fakes.

Google AI Studio video generation when prompted to show someone writing words onto the outside of a vase that held a burning candle, not only failed to generate the candle, it also repeated words, and the writing just appears as if by magic and not created by the trail of ink left by the pen.

Ignoring the lack of direction following, everything looks so plastic. Probably video game cutscene training showing through.

How appropriate with the German YouTube extract considering that German dialogue with laugh track is as good as a tense dialogue in English. At least according to Veo!
