My elderly parents showing me clearly AI videos of a $30 robot puppy...

I couldn't convince them it was AI. I tried to explain CGI with shit like Pixar and Disney movies but it didn't work. NICOO puppy

That shit should be illegal.

They must have known that CGI in Pixar and Disney movies is very different from an AI-generated video and concluded that you had no idea what you were talking about based on that inaccuracy.

"Computers can make up things that look real. Like superhero movies and kid movies (disney/Pixar). This AI crap just made it cheaper and easier so there's lots of fake stuff everywhere"

Don't worry, didn't intend that seriously, was just an attempt at a knowledgeable/novice reversal joke.
