It seems to be 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 creating a brand new AI course of to “make inventive viral movies quick.”
The brand new course of, which Elon says will probably be known as “Think about,” seems to be set to combine Hotshot’s performance with xAI’s Grok engine, with the intention to give X customers their very own text-to-video era device.
Earlier than being acquired by xAI, Hotshot had developed a variety of text-to-video and text-to-GIF AI fashions, and had gained traction amongst AI fans for its quickly creating AI instruments.
The logical subsequent step for the expertise is to allow text-to-video era direct on X, which might give the platform comparable capability to Google’s Veo mannequin, which has already sparked a variety of viral developments.
Although, in fact, the concept is at all times the seed, and whereas technical capability is an enormous step in video creation, with out a good suggestion, it doesn’t imply a heap. However then once more, giving extra individuals the capability to discover their concepts ought to result in extra inventive 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 may also include that.
On that entrance (nicely 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 of 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 provides two AI companions, within the Anime-inspired “Ani,” and a misbehaving purple panda known as “Rudy.”
Elon Musk says that Valentine will probably 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 associate that’ll interact in NSFW interactions.
Which feels fairly bizarre. I imply, no judgment, individuals can do no matter they need, as long as they’re not hurting anyone else. However the truth that the X crew is encouraging individuals to go on digital dates with their companions appears doubtlessly problematic. Possibly?
Both means, X clearly thinks this can be a precious market, and it’s seeking to extra companion sorts in future.
So quickly, you’ll be capable of create movies primarily based in your textual content, and even spoken prompts by way of X’s AI instruments, and have a relationship with an Anime character.
The longer term is right here. That is what you needed.
Are you not entertained?
