It appears to be like like X will quickly combine its AI-generated text-to-video instrument 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 can be known as “Think about,” appears to be like set to combine Hotshot’s performance with xAI’s Grok engine, to be able to give X customers their very own text-to-video technology instrument.
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 fans for its quickly creating AI instruments.
The logical subsequent step for the expertise is to allow text-to-video technology direct on X, which might give the platform comparable capability to Google’s Veo mannequin, which has already sparked a spread of viral tendencies.
Although, after all, the thought 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 folks the capability to discover their concepts ought to result in extra inventive ideas, and it’ll be fascinating 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 can even 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 possibly can see in these examples, X customers will quickly have the ability 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 pink panda known as “Rudy.”
Elon Musk says that Valentine can be a mixture of “Edward Cullen from Twilight and Christian Gray from 50 Shades,” enabling extra customers to reside out their fantasies with an AI accomplice 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 staff is encouraging folks to go on digital dates with their companions appears probably problematic. Possibly?
Both means, X clearly thinks this can be a helpful market, and it’s trying to extra companion sorts in future.
So quickly, you’ll have the ability to create movies primarily based in your textual content, and even spoken prompts through X’s AI instruments, and have a relationship with an Anime character.
The long run is right here. That is what you wished.
Are you not entertained?
