What happens to a logo the moment you ask an AI to move it? 🌊

I gave ChatGPT my Datum type system, five weights partly filled with water, and asked for a looping GIF where only the tide moves.

First try: it dropped a row, redrew the letters, turned my flat teal into glossy cyan and cycled the whole stack instead of the water.

So I steered it. Only the water line moves, everything else stays locked, and the last frame matches the first. The second try kept all five rows and the type intact, with a seamless 5 second loop built with ffmpeg.

Still to fix: thin seams in the teal at the tide’s peak, and the rows rise in sync instead of rolling like a swell.

Original on the left, loop on the right.

Which of your stills would you animate first, and what are you afraid it would break? 👇
