This is the only AI slop I actually enjoy.
How the tides have turned. What about the creators and owners of the Lego franchise and the creators of the Lego movies? What about AI being so dumb and can’t make anything good?
They'll be fine they got a lot of money. When my kids get older they'll have even more.
AI is pretty good at mocking the right and tabletop sessions. Shame neither are easily monetized.
It helps that Trump's narrative is incoherent, changes daily and is an ALL CAPS WALL OF RAMBLING TEXT. It's hard to say how Iran's narrative would stack up against a competent administration.
They were so good people are trying to imitate them.
The "fake" ones suck.
I mean, I'm no fan of the Iranian regime, but damn are they killing it in the propaganda department
Anyone got a link to the vids? I’m curios. I do like a Lego movie
