AI: Diffusion Goes 3D

You probably heard about AI image generating tools like Dall-E, which is now available for all (but be carefull of the fine print: they might own everything created with the software) or Midjourney. You may even have played with the free version of Dall-E, Craiyon (formerly Dall-E mini) or the new Stable Diffusion.

Stable Diffusion created this on the prompt "Animation student working themselves into a sweat trying to complete their projects"

Now there is also a similar tool that creates 3D objects: DreamFusion: Text-to-3D using 2D Diffusion

But wait, there is more. How about AI generated Human Motion: MDM: Human Motion Diffusion Model

Or AI generated video? Meta has that: Make-A-Video

So what do you think, what will be left for us humans to do, to excell at?

Update

Google also has a video generation tool:Imagen Video
