I mean it's basic and boring but, considering the production cost was probably (a lot?) less than $1,000, compared to the $5,000+ it would've cost if filmed/animated traditionally, that seems like a win. And the average viewer isn't even gonna notice. In fact, they're getting plenty of free publicity for using AI to make it thanks to articles like these

the "you do not have to give it to them" is referencing a Dril tweet about Al-Qaeda, the person is implying you have a bad take, just FYI
