Question about AI making old photos move

Three years ago, I found a box of my grandma's photos from the 1950s, all still and quiet. Last month, I saw a post where someone used an AI tool to make a similar old picture of a person blink and smile. It was a bit creepy but also amazing. So last week, I tried one of those free online services on a photo of my grandpa standing by his car. I uploaded it, and in about 30 seconds, his head turned slightly and he gave a small nod. It felt like he was there for a moment. It's not perfect, the movement is a little stiff, but it made me think how fast this tech is moving from labs to our phones. Has anyone else tried this and found a tool that makes it look more natural?

Honestly, that stuff gives me the chills more than anything. It feels like we're messing with memories that were meant to stay still. The tech is cool, but I'd rather just look at the photo.

Reminds me of when my grandpa tried to colorize an old family picture. It made everyone look sort of pink and waxy. Kinda ruined the vibe for me, you know?
