Xiaohu shares first-hand impressions from the Lib TV AI short film hackathon's 48-hour showcase:

- The main gap remains audio: AI-generated voices struggle to match plot and character emotion, and lip sync looks exaggerated
- With post-production dubbing instead, the finished films would be highly polished
