## Summary

Elon Musk-backed, AI-generated footage presenting an anti-woke version of Homer’s *The Odyssey* has drawn widespread criticism after its first seven minutes were released on X. The response contrasts with Musk’s attacks on Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaptation and highlights how quickly audiences’ expectations of AI-made video may be changing.

The footage was made using Grok with AI specialists Wonder Studios and director Dev Walker. Critics and viewers faulted its inconsistent character appearances, flat script and emotionless performances, though some praised the battle scenes and visual realism. By Monday it had received 6.8 million impressions, a figure that can include people scrolling past; Nolan’s film has grossed more than $1.78 billion worldwide.
