Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

Your trailer would be trash no matter if it's made by AI or not. Who is going to sit through minutes of "introducing" a whole bunch of characters. Like am I supposed to take notes? Will there be a test?
I get that you are still starting out, but writing is hard and good writing is valued very highly. Did you write anything for your movie? Or were you just vibing out some characters? In a good story the characters would be introduced in a natural way. Your style might sorta work in a heist kind of movie where shit gets literally explained to someone (and thus the audience), where you can have some sort of establishing shot (perhaps with a zoom) and a voice-over (by somebody we already know) that explains something about the heist, location, procedures or related people.
If you want to make a movie, don't start with the trailer. Start with writing a story, make it a short movie and thus a short story. Then storyboard that story, see what works and what doesn't. Perhaps re-write the story in the form of a screenplay, but that could also be done at a later point in the process. Then start thinking about visuals, what to show, what not to show (often more important).
This is why so many people hate AI. It allows shortcuts that shouldn't be there. Just because the AI could generate the visuals (al be it not at a proper level in my opinion at this point), doesn't mean you can just skip the story part or the screenplay part or the direction part etc.
