## AI overview

The article explains Netflix's VOID model for removing objects from videos while also recomputing their downstream physical effects. It describes VOID as a counterfactual video-generation system using video diffusion and training data produced with physics simulation and human-object interaction data.

## Source excerpt

There's a familiar trick in modern video editing with AI - taking an object out, slapping some new background in, - and calling it good. It does the trick for simple things, but it all falls apart the moment the object actually starts to move or interact with anything.
