"I'm not going to waste your time" Proceded directly into the stories. Kudos. Most YouTubers say "without further ado" and then roll the sponsor.

Jesus... Microsoft also made an image-to-3D service. I spent so much precious time of my life to make 3D models but now AI can make anything in a minuite. Honestly I never imagined this was coming.
