I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume yelling at clouds is not allowed here.

You don't struggle to love yourself because you're "not worthy" of love or "unloveable." You struggle w/ it because you've been conditioned to feel & believe negative things about yourself that aren't true-- but FEEL "true," because they're so familiar & ingrained.

You ever worked on a movie for less than $1,000 (regardless of any pitfalls or failings, nobody can take away from you the fact that you put forth the effort and you got the thing done) and then a guy like this shows up saying he's just gonna shit something out with a prompt for $30,000?
AI filmmaking is completely unserious.
You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

Nobody who is peddling this technology to help "overcome grief" actually cares about you or your deceased loved ones. They care about numbers.
