Google just dropped a new video-based AI

New year, new AI. The year 2023 saw some massive launches in the world of AI with the likes of GPT-4, Gemini, and Midjourney V6, to name a few, and it looks like 2024 will be no different. 

Google is coming out swinging in the new year with its latest model: VideoPoet. VideoPoet is the latest addition to Google’s promised “multimodal AI,” meaning it can generate text, audio, images, and even video. The last part is where VideoPoet fits in.

VideoPoet is an experimental large language model (LLM) that’s capable of a number of different video-related generation tasks, including text-to-video, image-to-video, and even video-to-audio. 

Take text-to-video as an example. You can input something as ridiculous as a “raccoon sipping wine in Times Square,” and within a few seconds, you will have the generated video ready to be shared in whatever style you requested. Just imagine the Mona Lisa lip-syncing an ABBA song.

Already have an image you want animated? Drop it in, and VideoPoet will generate a short clip based on the image. Once the video is generated, you can edit it further and stylize it to how you want just by telling the AI your instructions.

    🐁 Uh, oh, Mickey: One of the big stories from the New Year revolved around Mickey Mouse. Steamboat Willie, an early version of the iconic mascot, hit the public domain, and chaos ensued. Of course, a Mickey Mouse-themed horror movie is in the works.
