Is there any example of an AI generated film like this that is actually coherent? I've seen a couple short ones that are basically just vibe based non-linear things.

I recommend following specific artists rather than the medium as a whole.

Anything by sketch comedian Carter Jay Allen:

"Bots in the Hall", a fairly prolific Hollywood film and TV writer who wants to remain unnamed:

"Meta Puppet", who works for one of the big AI studios,

Some of the festival winners purposely stay away from talking since AI voices and lipsync are terrible, eg. "Poof" by the infamous "Pizza Later" (who is responsible for "Pepperoni Hug Spot") :

"Talk Boys", who only posts on Reddit:

Marcos Higueras, an animator fully embracing AI:

Most of the professional AI usage is still winding up in commercial use cases where you don't even know it's been used at all.
