This wows me as a lay person, but can anyone who's worked in mo-cap tell why or why not this should impress me?

Motion capture is animation. It’s taking the input and deciding what to include, what to ignore, what to emphasize and what to fabricate.
Blindly applying inputs without a creative person in the middle making decisions will result in garbage.
For example. You don’t want background or non speaking characters distracting from the focus of a scene, but you can’t have the static either. How they react creates an emotional impression and therefore needs to be considered.
These tools are just tools. It’s akin to saying LLMs have replaced authors. Total rubbish.
