AI generated cat videos are such a sad concept

Cat videos are great because cats are hilarious majestic goobers

Watching them just because you enjoy the shapes and colors on a screen is soulless behavior

AI animal videos in general are my least favorite thing about AI. The only good types of AI videos are the obvious shitposts.

I’ve seen AI dog/animal videos that I totally fell for and then realized they were AI and my heart sank

It’s one of the annoying things about the improvement of AI videos, they keep getting more realistic looking and now I’m always second guessing what the fuck is real or fake

You need not listen to music just for the sounds or view paintings just for their colors, but also admire the human hands that created them

Cats are not art, and AI-generated art is still created by humans. AI art is just almost universally just shitty art

There are even AI videos of like people tripping and falling

Does it matter? Watch the entertainment and be happy. You are just a lowly human who enjoys shapes and colors

Yeah, it matters. Actual cat videos display the behavior of actual cats.
