Creator Recreates Denzel AI Meme Video with MiniMax H3 in ComfyUI

On September 7, creator Nekodificador shared a quick experiment: MiniMax H3 plugged into ComfyUI with custom nodes and a personal inpainting workflow produced a clip of 'Denzel explaining why he uses AI'. minchoi and others praised it as counter-evidence to the claim that AI video cannot 'act', and the post spread widely via reshared posts from jnack, jordanbayne and UncannyHarry.

Confirmed

• Nekodificador built the clip with MiniMax H3 + ComfyUI + custom nodes and inpainting, with the video attached to the post
• The piece references Denzel Washington talking about AI in meme form
• It was reshared by UncannyHarry, jnack, jordanbayne and minchoi, who framed it as proof AI video can perform

Why it matters

• His caption — 'it's not that studios no longer need artists, it's that artists no longer need studios' — resonated widely, echoed by jnack and the cited original poster JoshDaws, reflecting community optimism about AI empowering individual creators
• The experiment shows a low-cost creative path via open/self-built workflows (ComfyUI + custom nodes) with new models, and serves as a tangible example of AI video expressiveness
