They didn't show any human videos, which could indicate that the technology struggles with generating them.

It's also probably that it's easier to spot fake humans than to spot fake cats or camels. We are more attuned to the faces of our own species

That is, AI humans can look "creepy" whereas AI animals may not. The cowboy looks pretty good precisely because it's all shadow.

CGI animators can probably explain this better than I can ... they have to spend way more time on certain areas and certain motions, and all the other times it makes sense to "cheat" ...

It explains why CGI characters look a certain way too -- they have to be economical to animate

They're probably still wary of their latest PR disaster, the inclusive and diverse WW2 Germans from Gemini.

I’m sure part of the reason, beyond those given already, is that they want to avoid the debate around nudity.

Actually there is one in the last demo, it is not an individual one, but one shot in the demo where a team uses this model to create a scene with human in it, where they created an image of black woman but only up her head in it

I would generally agree though, it is not normal they didn’t show more human

Gemini still won't generate images of humans or even other hominids. They're missing here probably for the same reason. Namely that they're trying to figure out how to balance diverse representation with all the various other factors.

You know why and it’s not that their technology struggles with it.
