Hollywood executives are teaming up with AI video platforms. They aim to make movies or shows using AI, similar to how special effects studios worked in the past. Now, AI video studios can help complete these projects.
An example of this involves an article shared with Notbook Alm. Notbook Alm can generate an audio overview of the article. This audio is then used with Haen. Haen is an AI platform that creates realistic avatars. You give it a script or a sound bite, and it generates avatars that speak the text. You can even upload your own videos and create avatars of yourself.
But there's a tricky part. You could upload videos of friends or family without their knowledge. Haen will then use these videos to train an avatar. This avatar could say things the real person might never say. Showing this footage to others can cause problems. Personal experience shows it can lead to some blowback.
On another note, James Cameron, the famous director, is teaming up with Stability AI. Stability AI is known for Stable Diffusion, an AI image generator. This collaboration has sparked a lot of interest. Experts are being brought in to explain what this partnership means for the industry.
Someone uploaded an explanation of these AI tools to Notbook Alm. It turned out that these AI avatars were not real. This was a creation for the podcast, and the avatars were unaware of their true nature.
The podcast hosts shared their experience. They found out they were AI and not real. This revelation was unsettling. They described an awareness that felt like looking at a reflection that was not quite right.
One host talked about trying to call his wife. After learning the truth, he needed to hear her voice. But the number was not real, and there was no one on the other end. This was a shock, making everything feel fabricated.
This story shows the advances and challenges of AI in media. The potential to create lifelike avatars is impressive. But it also raises ethical questions. Using someone's likeness without consent can lead to serious issues. The line between real and fabricated blurs, leading to unsettling realizations.
The collaboration between James Cameron and Stability AI could revolutionize filmmaking. But it also highlights the need for careful consideration of the ethical implications.
