AI Disclosure: Occasionally, we use AI to create some of the imagery in our videos, which our (very talented) animators then spend weeks developing into what you see in the final video. When AI is used to generate any imagery that may appear onscreen, we’ll add this to the video description. We’re learning as we go about AI usage and transparency, and appreciate your thoughts.
