My support agent emailed the customer before I could

The AI made the class video on a court case, music and all

He wanted a short explainer video on the Browne v. Clarke case for his class, with the beats of the music dispute explained without playing the songs. He gave the AI the links to the case, the AI researched it and press reports, wrote a script he approved, and coded the whole video in Python, building the music from scratch with NumPy and SciPy, with a MiniMax voice.

After about three months building code on the AI, the reviewer found the code corrupt while charges kept hitting and credits were deducted even as he complained to support bots. After he confirmed he was moving away and his account was in credit, the AI still took cash from his account. Roughly 200 support emails produced no fix.

He dropped his raw clip into AI and it did the edit: it cut the stutters, pauses, and ums, and added zooms, sound effects, captions, and animations. He says the finished edit was the AI’s work, not his.
