Three years ago, AI couldn't generate five seconds of coherent video. Today it generates photorealistic clips indistinguishable from reality. Let's see how.
Man, perfect timing. Was litteraly just thinking about deepfakes in nature docs.
The technical progression is explained cleanly. The trust problem now matters more than quality.
Here's the TL;DR version of this:
• Early AI video failed due to temporal inconsistency.
• Treating time as a dimension solved coherence.
• Latent compression made computation feasible.
• Transformers added memory across frames.
• Photorealism crossed a credibility threshold in 2025.
