Guillermo del Toro and Ben Affleck, among others, have voiced concerns about the capabilities of generative AI in the creative industries. They believe that while AI can produce text, images, sound, and video that are technically proficient, it lacks the authentic emotional depth and creative intuition inherent in human artistry—qualities that define works like those of Shakespeare, Dalí, or Hitchcock.
Generative AI models are trained on vast datasets and excel at recognizing and replicating patterns. They can generate coherent narratives, mimic writing or artistic styles, and even compose poetry and music. However, they do not possess consciousness or genuine emotions. The “emotion” conveyed in AI-generated content is a reflection of learned patterns rather than true emotional experience.
Having extensively tested and used generative AI over the past four years, I observe that the rapid advancement of the field suggests many current limitations could be overcome in the future. As models become more sophisticated and training data expands, AI systems are increasingly capable of generating content that is coherent, contextually relevant, stylistically diverse, and can even evoke emotional responses.
The following video is an AI-generated “casting” using a text-to-video model specifically prompted to test emotion, expressions, and microexpressions. This is only the beginning.

Planning with partial observation is a central challenge in embodied AI. A majority of prior works have tackled this challenge by developing agents that physically explore their environment to update their beliefs about the world state. However, humans can imagine unseen parts of the world through a mental exploration and revise their beliefs with imagined observations. Such updated beliefs can allow them to make more informed decisions at the current step, without having to physically explore the world first. To achieve this human-like ability, we introduce the Generative World Explorer (Genex), a video generation model that allows an agent to mentally explore a large-scale 3D world (e.g., urban scenes) and acquire imagined observations to update its belief about the world .

“I just created a AI-Generated podcast by feeding an article I write into Google’s NotebookLM. If I hadn’t make it myself, I would have been 100% fooled into thinking it was real people talking.”
The model is fast, producing a 2.25-megapixel depth map in 0.3 seconds on a standard GPU.

In the next couple of decades, we will be able to do things that would have seemed like magic to our grandparents.
This phenomenon is not new, but it will be newly accelerated. People have become dramatically more capable over time; we can already accomplish things now that our predecessors would have believed to be impossible.
We are more capable not because of genetic change, but because we benefit from the infrastructure of society being way smarter and more capable than any one of us; in an important sense, society itself is a form of advanced intelligence. Our grandparents – and the generations that came before them – built and achieved great things. They contributed to the scaffolding of human progress that we all benefit from. AI will give people tools to solve hard problems and help us add new struts to that scaffolding that we couldn’t have figured out on our own. The story of progress will continue, and our children will be able to do things we can’t.

“As human beings, it’s very easy for us to have common sense, and apply it at the right time and adapt it to new problems,” says Ilievski, who describes his branch of computer science as “common sense AI”. But right now, AI has a “general lack of grounding in the world”, which makes that kind of basic, flexible reasoning a struggle.
AI excels at pattern recognition, “but it tends to be worse than humans at questions that require more abstract thinking”, says Xaq Pitkow, an associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the US, who studies the intersection of AI and neuroscience. In many cases, though, it depends on the problem.
A bizarre truth about AI is we have no idea how it works. The same is true about the brain.
That’s why the best systems may come from a combination of AI and human work; we can play to the machine’s strengths, Ilievski says.
