It seems like X will quickly combine its AI-generated text-to-video device Hotshot, which it acquired again in March, with X proprietor Elon Musk noting that they’re growing a brand new AI course of to “make artistic viral movies quick.”
The brand new course of, which Elon says can be referred to as “Think about,” seems set to combine Hotshot’s performance with xAI’s Grok engine, with a view to give X customers their very own text-to-video technology device.
Earlier than being acquired by xAI, Hotshot had developed a spread of text-to-video and text-to-GIF AI fashions, and had gained traction amongst AI fanatics for its quickly growing AI instruments.
The logical subsequent step for the know-how is to allow text-to-video technology direct on X, which might give the platform related capability to Google’s Veo mannequin, which has already sparked a spread of viral traits.
Although, in fact, the thought is at all times the seed, and whereas technical capability is a giant step in video creation, with out a good suggestion, it doesn’t imply a heap. However then once more, giving extra folks the capability to discover their concepts ought to result in extra artistic ideas, and it’ll be attention-grabbing to see how X customers apply “Think about” when it does get a launch.
Although I think about some degree of misuse and/or abuse of such will even include that.
On that entrance (effectively not precisely, however…), X has additionally shared a preview of its coming male AI companion, which it’s calling “Valentine.”
As you’ll be able to see in these examples, X customers will quickly be capable to construct a relationship with an AI-powered male character, which is designed to supply companionship, in all that the time period implies.
Certainly, Elon says that Valentine “will make your coronary heart race.”
X already presents two AI companions, within the Anime-inspired “Ani,” and a misbehaving purple panda referred to as “Rudy.”
Elon Musk says that Valentine can be a mix of “Edward Cullen from Twilight and Christian Gray from 50 Shades,” enabling extra customers to reside out their fantasies with an AI companion that’ll interact in NSFW interactions.
Which feels fairly bizarre. I imply, no judgment, folks can do no matter they need, as long as they’re not hurting anyone else. However the truth that the X workforce is encouraging folks to go on digital dates with their companions appears doubtlessly problematic. Perhaps?
Both approach, X clearly thinks this can be a beneficial market, and it’s trying to extra companion sorts in future.
So quickly, you’ll be capable to create movies based mostly in your textual content, and even spoken prompts by way of X’s AI instruments, and have a relationship with an Anime character.
The long run is right here. That is what you needed.
Are you not entertained?
