I feel like it encapsulates perfectly what AI isn't good at. Especially since it hired more humans than a lemonade stand would typically need.

I started watching, expecting this to be cringy and super-annoying, but actually I find it a fascinating project and fun video.

Still only 6min+ in so far, but I especially like how the LLM's get roasted at times. Is this guy another Mark Rober-type?

    I guess so. This is the first vid I've seen of this channel and it also seems to be promoting some kind of AI platform which doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

    That being said the video is well made and entertaining. They don't make the obvious conclusion that the Ai really really isn't well suited to autonomously design and can't effectively run something as simple as a lemonade stand but the kids are cute.

    Ah, that's disappointing. Claude in particular seemed to particularly bork things up at several points. I guess the one caveat is that the video itself and dude's running comments seem to suggest all by themselves, the obvious part.

    Pretty sure the channel is owned and run by that AI platform, this is a cheap way of funding advertisement compared to the potential views

    Actual maths, Google Ads blended average sits at 2.4 cents per view. That'd total 24.000$ for one million impressions. Which this movie got.

    Then on top you can add the cost per click, which averages 3.8$ for technology products. Assuming one in a thousand would click the link, that represents a further cost of 3.800$

    I'm pretty confident to claim this video to be the cheapest form of advertisement, especially because it's jolly making people associate the company with something positive rather than just another annoying ad popping up
