You may be right, although, of course, current LLMs often do the right thing with "about 3/5ths of the way."

OTOH, as someone who has done CAD and schematic drawings by programming, I am not 100% convinced about the inevitability of unreadability.

In any case, though, the bar is not really whether any human can interpret the text, but whether the average human will interpret the text or video faster, and here, to your point, yes, the video probably still wins handily.

The closest analogy I can think of is animated math gifs like these:

Which can be a huge aid in learning.

But this leads to another conundrum. Where do animated GIFs end and video begin? Because I could see a simple line-drawing style animated GIF being sufficient for most purposes.
