Someone boasted about how cheap it was to produce this AI-slop Matrix rip-off, and got red-pilled into reality – 17 top takedowns
There’s no denying that A.I. imaging is improving in leaps and bounds, but the issues of its environmental impact and loss of employment for skilled creative workers remain a barrier to its widespread acceptance.
And – as this Matrix rip-off shows – it still has a long way to go to be convincing, not to mention its current inability to produce anything original.

The only reason we recognize this shot is because the Matrix has emotional resonance with us.
