Something feels off about this video, am I the only one?

The color-balancing makes everything look like a commercial for a seniors home.

It just looks like they overdid it in postproduction. That makes more sense than AI. No reason to reinvent the wheel for a PR thing.

Overall, both these guys seem out-of-step with the times*. It's not 2010 anymore: these days the average consumer resents and fears big tech.

* before anyone points out that OpenAI is hot these days, that's in terms of mindset

You don't need AI to create cringy overindulgent self-congratulatory videos.
