So many people seem to have no idea what they're talking about. This isn't ending AI video creation, it just cost them a lot of money to offer it. You can generate a video on your own computer already. AI video isn't going away because one company isn't letting people do it on their servers for free any more.
Didn't realise you could do it locally, just checked online and there's several options. So why are these fuckers building huge, resource-greedy data centres. . ?
Because they want to do a lot of it and faster than a home pc could so they can offer it as a service.
What you can do locally is slower and with much smaller models.
So they can charge you to do it on your phone...
