So it's looking like the 2020s are the decade that video game graphics become indistinguishable from real life video.

It's amazingly photo-realistic, but my eye can notice uncanny things. In this case, I notice a grid-like regularity in all the water-wave patterns seen throughout the video. But, still amazing :D

Same water when zoomed out: https://youtu.be/Wu4CySB2E6s?t=183

That's pretty realistic IMO. I was up in a float plane in Alaska and remarked at how fake reality looked.
