Discussion on the show
In episode 007’s chapter “自己造剪辑工具：自动化与渲染的等待” (Building your own editing tools: automation and waiting for renders), Guizang says while discussing automation in content production: “我们都说看影视飓风，影视飓风的优势就是它的质量高……但它核心就是它有一些视觉奇观。那这个东西我觉得是会很快被消解，被 AI 消解掉了这部分” (see the line in the Chinese transcript). This is a host’s personal view of industry trends, not a statement by Mediastorm; see episode 007’s chapter, linked transcript is in Chinese.
