        You can already generate 5s video for free with adobe firefly (two daily), and for static images, you could already do them for a long time on commodity hardware with your custom prompts.

      This is a fascist tool of surveillance capitalism, which will be sold off to data brokers and rolled into big brother sooner than later.
