The slop problem isn't a quality problem. Most AI slop is technically perfect.
Right lighting, clean renders, correct grammar. And completely weightless. Nothing stays. Nothing follows you home.
I cut thousands of hours of wedding footage before AI existed, and the magic was never in a single shot. A father's face. His daughter laughing across the room. The emotion lives in the cut, not the frames.
That's still the whole game. The models generate frames. They can't generate the collision, because the collision runs on a life: your references, your taste, what things cost you.
Great work and slop begin with identical materials. The difference is what passes through them.
What's the last piece of AI content that actually followed you home?
