We couldn't have done it without you! We're pumped for next year :)

@@curiousrefuge @TheoreticallyMedia you guys are turning into quite the AI double act ;-) Keep the collabs coming, guys!

Any time!

Any time!

Our pleasure, thanks for watching!

Glad you like them! We'll be making a tool page very shortly to help out with this!

One doesn’t exist yet

Happy to help!

Sounds great! We can't wait to see!

Our pleasure!

You can visit our gallery and submit. Alternatively, if we catch it on social media we may reach out to feature it too :)

Once we have one we will share it :)

We cover that in our free discord and also in course!

Thanks for watching!

Aw nooo! It's okay, we'll be back again next year :)

So glad you enjoy that!

cue the terminator 2 music!

You can do style switching with tools like Runway or Leonardo :)

Great question - not really. Typically most people would suggest the usual things like Davinci Resolve.

Glad you enjoyed the video!

Midjourney is in conversation with Grok actually. So we’ll see what comes of that.

Oh no! Good point, hopefully soon!

Likely something like Viggle but you would need to do your own acting.

@@curiousrefuge Viggle is very interesting. Am I correct that it's more about mapping a photo onto the full body and fitting to the physical motions? As opposed to lip-syncing? I Other than VASA-1, I recall a Chinese research team that also put something out that was amazing at not only lip synching, but expression interpretation and head motion.

Vasa 1 :)

Nice catch!

correct! It was a demo that is not released and says such on their paper.

Beep boop beep - human has found out our secret! Just kidding - we are real!

We'd be happy to test it out first!

thanks for watching and we appreciate the comment!

Creatives that utilize these tools will win.

@@curiousrefuge at what point does a tool replace its user?

It will kill the entire video, film and tv industry.

Woohooo, nice work!

Or inspire creatives to do more!

@@curiousrefuge I believe that handcrafted things will experience a renaissance as generated content becomes more prevalent in the media in the coming years. Similarly, real actors in movies will be increasingly valued. There's a significant difference when you know that a real person-a star who ages alongside your generation-is behind a character, as opposed to just a generated face. Empathy plays a crucial role in films that are driven by emotion, as it adds a layer of authenticity and relatability that is hard to replicate with artificial creations

Good catch - although this technology may be released very soon via another competitor.

@@curiousrefuge actually the other competitor is in the same boat. no plans to release it publicly, or api either. If you're talking about the EMO project from alibaba. This project is intended solely for academic research and effect demonstration. This page was built using the Template which was adopted from the Nerfies project page. They 're basically trolling companies and people to fund future developments. They have no interest in releasing these to the public. It's all a shell game, like crypto and NFTs. later || || || | | | | ne gative 1

That would be an interesting feature!

We appreciate your feedback. Did you see in our title "(Let's Recreate Them)"? The AI community is very large, we focus on a subsection of it.

It's true - while these are simply examples, we do not recommend that people seek out AI as for therapy needs at this time.

I hope you understand at some point AI will be more reliable than asking a human or searching online. There is a reason with each AI model release, they show the results of some tests and they get better.

@@berkertaskiran not with the current methods. They will always be an unreliable human analog.

@@High-Tech-Geek There is no "current method". They are evolving all the time. I've just seen Mustafa Suleyman's TED talk and people are already describing LLMs as "large multimodal model", and not "large language model". Bear in mind that a "human analog" with unlimited compute can very easily become an ASI and removing bias from it would not be the world's hardest task.

@@berkertaskiran multi-modal just means designers allow it to interact with outside controls like your Uber app or the local nuclear power plant's control interface. The method is still just choosing a likely word/action that would come next in most sentences it has been fed. Using this current method, there is no ability for AI to comprehend or understand or rationalize or think. And guardrails simply tell it to compare it's output to a list of forbidden rules and not proceed if there's a "match". But unless humans create guardrails that match the infinite combinations of all bad behavior, people guide AI around them fairly easily. Unless humans come up with a new method for AI, it won't "become more reliable" in the sense that we can rely on it fully. It will always be flawed. The data we feed AI is flawed and full of bad information (the Internet). AI should never be trusted as factual for critical situations. It confidently tells me false information ALL THE TIME, but most people don't bother to check.

Hahah! Beep boop beep! Alert, alert! Human has caught on to our mischievous plans!

At same we start to see more often a lot of oddities and trial and errors so creative artists seems to have a bright future to fix and put everything together

@@hombacomto advance the training of the ai thus eventually making them obsolete. Fully ai cinema will never be taken seriously, I make shorts with ai and I’m just now understanding the depth of its soullessness. Honestly, I literally make my living as an ai video marketer and it truly cannot create anything “new” but it can Frankenstein out some cool shit. CR is honestly pushing the idea of escapist content over intentional personal art which is what I believe the intention behind generative video is partial to.

Everything will be fine! Don't worry :)

Sure, we currently give these tools the seed of an idea (or inspiration) to set them into motion, but we won't really be "needed" for any paying gigs in the very near future. For now, we might be able to give ourselves fluff job titles like "prompt engineer" and "content curator", but the real name is babysitter. Babysitting the work of AI. AI is a baby, but all babies and toddlers eventually grow up and no longer need to be babysat. Speaking in broad strokes, I think the real crime of using the creative arts as a "harmless testbed" and "proving grounds" for AI, is that this is a large chunk of the people of the world that have a passion for what they do. I don't really know of any passionate accountants, but it would be a scarier thing for the people in power to allow AI to be in charge of the financial system (to bypass their power). Personally, I think that AI is eventually (not too long from now) going to remove a lot of our feeling of purpose in the world. Will my kids spend all their time with no careers, being entertained by AI with little else to do and reason to engage with others and living on a meager UBI while the world runs on an AI autopilot? There has to be some passions, purpose and goals to strive for in life. What will be our purpose if all the hurdles in life have been removed? I know from my childhood that you can only spend so much time hanging out with friends before that is no longer fun (think the last couple of weeks of summer vacation). I hope this is not the kind of future we are handing them, but no one really knows that yet. In the mean time, we probably need more focus on shaping how our post AGI ASI future will look, before we lose our ability to influence that. BTW... I realize this is your thing currently. You are a really engaging presenter and I wish you well.

@@JGeo1 have you noticed how bored we get with a new AI tool and want more? We have competing tools because there is not one way to do things. Just use the tools and understand their limits. Don’t look down on the knowledge to use them because it’s not only about prompting, you need knowledge to understand the result. We don’t know how to use all tools yet and a machine can’t answer that because it doesn’t understand our needs, it’s just trained on historical data and we change our minds.

A great time to be alive :)

No it don’t 😂

We appreciate the feedback - we'll see what we can do!

Don't do it!

How so?!

LOL
