It’s decent effect and robust enough that the lens can be stamped in plastic
There are some monitors that do this same thing by splitting every other pixel row to each eye
But it can’t be very hi-res because it’s limited by pixel size, how many angles it works at, and how fine a lens you can make.

Very cool
I don’t know if you’re looking for a real answer... But you know those trading cards that get a 3d look as you shift them back and forth? It’s a pretty low tech effect called lenticular printing. It’s just little vertical strips of lenses showing vertical strips of an image.

Is that a Model A with a brush guard, light bar, and trailer?

On the programming side...
In 3 years will it write a secure online banking system ? Oh hell no.
Ingest a design document and make a mid tier MMO? Unlikely. Vamp Survivors clone? Maybe.
The SW in a DSLR? Unlikely. A thermostat? Maybe
Excel to PDF converter? Sure, just double check the result

In 3 years will AI write a book I will want read? No.
Fill out a complex tax form? Seems unlikely.
Write an email to schedule an meeting? Maybe
Write a birthday card to my uncle that I see once a decade? Sure. I get stuck on things like this, but also I'm going to read that card before sending.

As a programmer I get the impression that AI is changing prose writing the same way that I see that it's changing code writing.
That is that generative AI may have the ability to replace low quality <type> writing and people are trying to push it much farther than it's actually capable of.

My job as a cashier didn't have lasers scanning bar codes. Instead it required typing a 5 digit number that had been manually placed on each item with a sticker gun.

Thank you. That helps clarify why I’ve started seeing people answering questions with “I’ve asked ChatGPT and it says”
It’s people trying to use that uneven distribution of knowledge and trying to be helpful.

“Whenever we walked up the stairs with a young woman, I made sure to walk behind her so Isaac wouldn’t grab her tush,” the writer Harlan Ellison is quoted as saying in Nat Segaloff’s biography A Lit Fuse. “He didn’t mean anything by it—times were different—but that was Isaac.”
Ouch.

If "all people probably need is a little help, and its wrong for people to hoard that help" was actually internalized in the US, entire power bases would collapse.

I was in my late 40's when I realized this. Picture an X was always just a metaphor
I only realized it when a friend talked about loosing the ability to visualize after a (non-brain) medical crisis
