Dario dismisses AI video as slop; critic counters video gen TAM at $50-100B a year
dumierhan · x · 2026-11-07
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says most AI-generated video/images are "fake, addictive, slop" and Anthropic won't compete there: consumer video is existential for Google and OpenAI, enterprises don't need "cats riding donkeys," and Anthropic can contract a model if ever needed.
Poster dumierhan pushes back: it's a convenient narrative — claiming video is a side-quest beats admitting you're skipping a market with an estimated $50-100B annual TAM, and enterprise video use-cases do exist.
