📹 The Next Big Thing in AI Video Generation!

Ever since OpenAI introduced Sora, other tech companies have been in a mad rush to create tools that can keep up — or even outdo it.

Google DeepMind just unveiled something that might change the game entirely!

It’s a new AI model called Video-to-Audio (V2A) that can generate audio and dialogue for videos.

V2A tech takes the description of a soundtrack (e.g. “jellyfish pulsating underwater, marine life, ocean”) paired with a video, and voila!

It’ll create music, sound effects, and even dialogue that matches the characters and tone of the video.

But there’s one thing to note: The quality of the audio you get depends a lot on the quality of the video you input.

So, for the best results, you’ll need to pair V2A tech with a top-notch AI video generator like Veo.

Also, the lip movements in the video might not sync perfectly with the soundtrack created by V2A.

However, the tech is still undergoing rigorous safety assessments and testing and is not yet available to the public.

🤩 TikTok's New AI Tools!

TikTok may be facing a potential ban in the U.S., but that’s not stopping it from adding some new AI tools that will help creators and brands expand their reach!

Here’s the scoop:

You can now create “custom multilingual AI avatars” to represent yourself or your brand’s spokesperson or a creator you have partnered with.

But say you don’t want to create your own avatar, there’s a solution for you!

There are also pre-built avatars created with actors from a range of backgrounds, nationalities, and languages. Check them out here.

Pretty cool, huh? Well, maybe not for everyone!

Hollywood actors went on strike last year over several different concerns about AI, including the fear that their likenesses would be used to generate AI replicas.

But with TikTok’s new AI avatars, creators have full control over how their likeness is used, and the actors are paid and licensed for commercial use.

So, hopefully, there will be no issues!

TikTok has also added a new “AI dubbing tool” that translates and dubs content into 10 languages.

It automatically detects the language in a video and then transcribes and translates the content to produce a dubbed video in your preferred language.

These new features will be available as part of “TikTok Symphony”, amongst many others!

🤖 ChatGPT Prompt Of The Day: Get a travel guide.

Travel guides can help you make the most of your time and budget.

They can recommend hidden gems, lesser-known attractions, and off-the-beaten-path experiences that can enrich your journey.

Here's a prompt that can help you with that. 

I want you to act as a travel guide. I will write you my location and you will suggest a place to visit near my location. In some cases, I will also give you the type of places I will visit. You will also suggest me places of similar type that are close to my first location. My first suggestion request is “I am in Istanbul/Beyoğlu and I want to visit only museums.”
