    Just adding my two cents after test driving Gemini Ultra after being a long time ChatGPT Pro subscriber:

    Remember the whole “Taken 3 makes Taken 2 look like Taken 1” meme? Well Google’s latest video generating AI makes any video gen AI I’ve seen up until now look like Taken 3* (sigh, I said 1, ruined it) - and they are seriously impressive on their own.

    Edit: By “they” I mean the other video generating AI makes models, not the other Taken movies. I hope Liam Neeson doesn't read HN, because a delivery like that might not make him laugh.

    Wow the price point is way above. I'm thinking about the mini phone in the movie Taken 2. I actually found a website to purchase a year ago but couldn't find it right now.

    Thought the one I got was really funny so I peeked at the source. Maybe that second 32 <= score < 35 text is a work-in-progress? :)

    20>score?

    Here's a fun fact: If you just blindly clicked 'yes' for every answer, you'd have scored better. But don't beat yourself up about it. I mean, you might hit someone else by accident.

    23>score?

    Sigh. Oh well. At least no one got hurt. That's the best we can take from that.

    25>score?

    That performance was like the film Taken 2. You went in guns blazing but the result was, well, ugh. Wouldn't buy you on DVD.

    29>score?

    Not too bad. If you were my child you'd be my second favourite. Even if I only had one child.

    32>score?

    Pretty damn good. There's a lot of gotchas in there that you managed to avoid.

    35>score?

    Difficult to criticise that score without being childish, so: Hahaha points you're a massive nerd.

    35>score?

    Wow, that was impressive! You hardly tripped up at all. Give yourself a gold star.

    // Else:

    You cheated. You cheated and I hate you.
