AI creator genericai looks back on 'UnNature', his first AI short released almost two years ago. The contemplative 5-minute film — covering prep, storyboarding, character design, editing and music — took over a month to produce and was selected for the first MK2 AI short film festival.
He says the journey has accelerated with today's new models, argues AI entertainment has never been closer, and teases a new project ahead.
