Reel Farm by @fun is actually one of the most forward-thinking AI video production tools out there right now. I don’t use it for “full automation” but it can get an edit 90% done (at least for a specific style of short form video) YouTube video coming soon where I breakdown how I’m starting to use it… 👀

🚨 buzzwords in the AI space that are losing meaning… •Game-changer •Revolutionizes •Cutting-edge •Disrupts •Wild, crazy, insane, etc To be fair, AI does frequently embody these words. I’m guilty of using these - because the tech honestly is GAME-CHANGING 🚨😱

I’m developing an AI production workflow... I now have a term to describe it. I haven’t heard this term before (no relevant results via Google or Perplexity) So, I’m officially coining it: “Instant Response Advertising” - 24hr turnaround video ads in response to trends/news

Eleven Labs launches “AI generated sound effects” using “ethically-sourced data” from Shutterstock https://elevenlabs.io/blog/sound-effects-are-here/ Very cool! Compared to other AI SFX tools I’ve used, Eleven Labs SFX sounds very high-quality with minimal distortion.

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.
