I didn't quite realise how realistic and alive-looking AI talking videos can be now. I have tried a simple combo of Flux Pro (for a realistic starter image) and Runway (with a relatively simple prompt) and it came out with a lot of very highly usable and near perfect videos people talking in a very animated way. The videos are not lip-synched to any text yet, but hard to imagine that this is too far away, voice and singing is already pretty much there. My perception of what AI should be able to do is all over the place at the moment to be honest, but this is pretty bloody impressive.
The fact that there is a role as head of AI at moonpig is a clear indication of what the brands stance is on AI ethics. Are we to expect greetings cards that are AI generated from questionably acquired datasets. Just curious as I have used this service in the past and uploaded private family photos to create personalised greetings. What are the AI related terms for this content when uploaded to the moonpig website.
Ai people all look very concerned lol
Would it be possible to use Runway lip sync functionality from there to get them talking ?
Honestly speaking as an animator it looks a bit uncanny. There's almost no variation in their expression and all of them have one generic angry/infuriated expression. Also it just feels like a puppet on top of which a photograph of human face has been comped or superimposed. It's just not organic enough to be called as something living and breathing. I'm all in for technological advancements but if it's not helping to bring life into something which is just an digital image then I think it needs a lot of time to get developed.
Considering they're all trained on infringed copyrighted material— why wouldn't they look the part?
Why not just film Real people. It's loads better.
There are lot of things that are "Off" with the Animation in these (VIDs), that it's not even funny. There is a lot (Weird) Uncanny stuff going on with these character's (Faces). And again, I'm not even "Hating", but as an Animator myself, I'm just being truthful here.🙄
Nice But why do we need that? What global issue AI is trying to solve here? Boosting creativity? What creativity is there in prompting?
Those look awful. The over-produced look will quickly become the tell.
Head of AI @ Moonpig
1moSome people here are saying that they look unrealistic (over-produced, uncanny, awkward), are you kidding me? have you not seen the 'Will Smith eating spaghetti' video from a year or two ago? The Overton window had been well and truly smashed to pieces
