Genie 4 is pretty impressive. I find the visuals to be very realistic and high-quality. The ability to prompt anything into the world and have it just appear opens up all sorts of possibilities to steer a scene in whatever direction you want. I found it really difficult to control the object on the screen, the monkey, the car, and the bi-plane all sort of ignored my attempts to steer them. There was also some temporal coherence issues where I'd turn around and face a different direction and then return to my original position and things would have changed. The Mustang, for instance, changed directions when I turned around. When it drove off later in the scene, it turned into a taxi... Little things like that change over time. Visually, however, it's really impressive. (IMO)
