This specific kind of archetype that can't watch sports because it's "for normies" and "a distraction" is genuinely hilarious. You can actually enjoy life every now and then not everything has to be about the matrix.

Mythos is genuinely INSANE for anything really:

Anthropic dropped Claude Fable 5 yesterday. And it's genuinely cracked for AI UGC ads: Claude was already the technical part here. It wrote the Seedance prompts, dug through the reviews, built the briefs, held all your brand context. The creative tools just executed what Claude did. And now Claude got even crazier. Their own framing is the longer and more complex the task, the bigger its lead. Which is literally how ads work. Like review mining. - Lifting hooks - Clustering them - Building personas - Scraping hundreds of reviews The old models needed that step-by-step, or they'd start forgetting your rules halfway through. This one holds the entire thing in 1 run. Vision got way better too. You can feed it screenshots of competitor ads and it actually breaks down the angle and format behind each one. AND your swipe file folder just became an actual workflow. Being straight with you though, your ads didn't get better overnight. Seedance still makes the video. The way ads look is still your job. The "thinking" just got way better.

How to make REALISTIC AI UGC for DTC ads: Most of the AI videos I see running by big brands are pretty bad... They tend to think switching models helps, but it's all in the prompting. So here are the 3 clauses I run on every AI UGC generation: 1) Skin texture clause: "realistic skin texture, visible pores around nose and cheeks, natural slight unevenness, no filter quality" This fixes the waxy poreless face that's the fastest tell for AI. Both Seedance 2.0 and Kling 3.0 (or even other models) default to smooth skin without it. 2) Anti-polish clause: "casual phone framing, photographed in a real environment, not a professional set, organic not studio quality" This stops the model defaulting to cinematic production which it tends to do. 3) Lighting clause (IMPORTANT): "soft warm light from window at left, casting gentle shadows, no harsh highlights, skin properly illuminated without overexposure" Also, by naming the source and specifying soft/warm/diffused stops the model defaulting to studio-grade lighting. Overall, I'd say Seedance 2.0 gets lighting down pretty well if you give it a good reference image, but it's still a good idea to mention. Lighting is so overlooked considering how important it is. a few other moves that compound: Real-brand props in the scene (Stanley tumbler on the desk, AirPods case on the dresser, Whole Foods bag on the counter). AI usually does generic backgrounds since it's safer, you never know what someone would use it for. Another thing worth doing is explicitly telling it to do a selfie POV. Something like: "the camera IS her phone's front-facing selfie camera, no phone visible in the shot." Then include background elements: Crumpled blanket, half-finished coffee, papers on the desk. This is because real environments aren't usually tidy. Run these and you'll see big improvements.
