AI video generation isn't awkwardly fumbling anymore—it's making Hollywood sweat. This episode explores the meteoric rise of Gen AI video apps like Hailuo and Kling AI, exploring how specialization (think ultra-precise visuals and deepfake-level features) is reshaping content creation.

Either way, get ready: your next viral video might be AI-made.
