I have been using this with cursor to make videos to explain papers and math concepts to myself.

Some of the results are not perfect (AI sometimes misaligns some shapes), but it's quite helpful and with a couple of iterations you get to a really good explainer video.

I wonder if Perplexity uses similar methods under the hood or if it is a completely different approach.

I can imagine research like this being interesting in the automotive UI design domain. Would be interesting to measure driver distraction and design UIs based on cognitive load.

My sister passed away a year ago due to Bipolar disorder. The pain my family went through her years of sickness and after her passing has been immense. My mother talks about it often, but my father almost never does. For me, I talk to my wife about it at times, but can never bring myself to talk to my parents about it.
