They are that bad?
Put that in CAPITAL letters. However I will stand in a bucket of cow dung if China wins.

It is not all that bad because when I have to artifically inseminate 2000 cows, I put my let arm up the cows arse to feel for the cervix and during the process I can get shitted on by the cow. Now that I have so much experience I think Ill apply for a job in a human fertility clinic.

If the drones are AI controlled, I would say China has caught up or even surpassed the U.S. in some aspects of AI:
With my software developer hat on, I'd say this probably does not need AI.

In a relativelly calm night, it's not that hard to keep a few hundreds or even more slow-moving drones in sync. If I have to make a guess, the drones' precise aerial positions relative to a fixed origin can be measured in real time with some kind of ground based laser device(s). A control computer on ground can quickly calculate the required movement distance for each drone, and send the data to them wirelessly.

Think the night sky as a screen and each drone as a pixel. The amount of computation needed here is nothing compared to the hi-def scenes in modern video games.

If someone can do such a show in unpredicatble strong winds, that'd be something quite different.

The good, bad and ugly pathetic.

After the defeat in the short track mixed relay, some koreans are mad at the chief coach of the Chinese short track speed skating team who is a Korean.

To "address the anger", an official from a local Korean government's PR dept. made a video on their Youtube channel. In that video, this guy, who, according to himself, happens to have the same name as the coach, was in dark dress and bowed to the camera, pretending that the coach was making the Korean style apologetic gestures:

China can offer all these Korean staffs in Chinese team Chinese citizenship, after all we have 1.7 million Chinese Korean.

To be honest, China should just claim foul everytime a korean wins to tarnish their medals as well, but that would be dragging China down to korea's level.
Chinese government can not, but Chinese netizens and medias can, the new People's War.

The ones in the video may not use AI. But using AI without a centralized ground control station for drones to fly in large dynamic formation has been demonstrated in China. So chance of drones in the video being AI controlled are quite big.

I'm more interested in the user-friendliness. The user should be able to simply scan the picture of Eileen Gu and the software would then align the pixels-like drones. A one minute computer job.

Yes I believe China has AI controlled drone swarms. I have seen the videos of such (apparently military) drone swarm. And I am sure that with AI controlled drones you can do the same kind of light show, too. But it's just not necessary.
