Just saw Jimeng AI drop. Think ByteDance can catch up to Kuaishou in video models?

At my age, I’m pretty clueless about all this new stuff. I usually just like to write and paint, but my grandson set up Jimeng for me so I could mess around with generating some ink-wash animations. Now that Jimeng AI’s been officially released, people are asking if ByteDance can catch up to Kuaishou in video models.

I don’t know the tech side, so I’ll just share how it feels to use it. This thing is really beginner-friendly for us old folks—just type a few words and it starts moving, way less hassle than when I learned Photoshop back in the day. As for who’s better between ByteDance and Kuaishou, I can’t say, but competition is always good for us users.

When they’re chasing each other, the products just keep getting better and cheaper. I just hope they make it even simpler and bump up the font size. What do you young folks think—who’s got a better shot?

This old-timer’s got better moves than me, mad respect.

“Make the text bigger” — that request hits way too close to home lol

“Competition is good for users” — yeah, that’s spot on.

This ink-wash animation style is actually pretty sick, ngl.

Kuaishou got an early start, but ByteDance caught up fast.

Simple operation is the way to go, totally agree.

This ink-wash animation style is actually pretty fun. The real skill is making it so even the older generation can pick it up.
