Half decent approximations work a lot better in generating the equivalent of a stock illustrations of a powerpoint slide.

Actual long form art like a movie works because it includes many well informed choices that work together as a whole.

There seems to be a large gap between generating a few seconds of video vaguely like one's notion, and trying to create 90 minutes that are related and meaningful.
