AI video in 2027 is looking bleak 🙁 Seedance 2.0 and 2.5 both shipped this year. Every other AI video platform had the whole year to catch up. Kling 4.0 is the latest to try. I just ran 11 head-to-head tests vs. Seedance 2.5 and MiniMax H3, same prompt, first takes only. If nobody closes the gap, there's no reason for ByteDance to hurry. And that's bad news for all of us 👇
