First posted by Havana art historian and digital content creator María Teresa Felipe Sosa, the video was shared by users including US investigative journalist Ryan Grim and Explosive Media, which added, “Welcome to the #LRF Cuba,” or Lego Resistance Front.

    AI videos work best when there’s a good amount of inputs. Sometimes, AI can’t make a picture, one famous example is a wine glass filled to the brim. Lego has several movies, all of which had a very consistent visual style, and lots of diversity in camera angles, screen content, etc. It also stays away from being too realistic and the uncanny valley.

    This is also why AI is good a “ghiblifying”, there’s lots of really consistent data to train on.
