The future of creative production = collaborating with your software via natural language Open Interpreter is leading the way in this space. Pretty cool demo of early progress: https://x.com/human_b_ee/status/1783531420394357087?s=46&t=X3iEw4fI_u17RX5ORhqWTw

I wonder if Adobe will respond by retraining their models without the 5% of Adobe Stock images generated by other AI platforms or will they continue to use AI images for training data since they are all reviewed/approved for Adobe Stock "to ensure it does not include IP” http://www.techmeme.com/240412/p12#a240412p12

This fake Sora app is obviously a scam… the claims it’s making are hilarious. Surprised Apple approved this.

The way Hume can instantly detect and respond to the emotionality in human speech is really impressive. An API is coming, it will be interesting to see what devs build with this tech. I’m thinking this could have implications for realtime interactive storytelling (and beyond)

New Adobe Firefly feature for image generation released today! 👀👀 It’s called ‘structure reference’ - by uploading an image, you set a blueprint for how elements are arranged, focusing on layout rather than style or content. You can also combine that with a separate style reference.

New Sora demos just dropped (this time with short film examples made by creatives) 👀👀 https://openai.com/blog/sora-first-impressions Hollywood and big production teams need to rethink production if they want to survive. The era of the solo media studio is coming…

Open Interpreter’s O1 launch + open source ecosystem is one of the most exciting AI projects I’ve seen, I feel like this will have huge impacts on the course of technology, creative production, accessibility and beyond. http://openinterpreter.com/01

AI’s impact is double-edged; it’s displacing media production roles while simultaneously creating new roles and opportunities. There are ethical ways to utilize AI tools. If you dive into how AI works, generative AI on a foundational level is not designed to replicate media. 1/3

I’m interested to see how this plays out for media producers. Apple could be gearing up for an AI-powered creative suite (in addition to other use cases). https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-03-14/apple-aapl-buys-canadian-ai-startup-darwinai-as-part-of-race-to-add-features

Reid nails it on the head about Sora. For media professionals AI's changing the game, not ending it. Moving from technical work to creative direction, where imagination's the new currency. Not about the demise of an art form but its evolution. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-sora-means-creativity-reid-hoffman-okbfc

I created a fictional “big game” video ad about a drink that "will literally make you float in the air" using AI tools (Midjourney + ChatGPT/Gemini + After Effects) to accelerate video production workflows... and I won 1st place in an AI ad competition! 🎉😄 https://x.com/fbrcai/status/1763311762173227482?s=20

For producers, TikTok's ongoing legislative challenges​​ are a reminder of the importance of adaptable strategies in content delivery and engagement. I’d say 1) try to be consistent across all popular platforms, cross-posting at minimum, preferably unique media/formats 2) build up an email list of core audience
