Here is how I created this animated short in under an hour.
—-------------------------------------------------------------

I first prompted ChatGPT to come up with a short children's story about family. 

Set it in the early medieval times and center it around a brother and a sister. 
—-------------------------------------------------------------

I then took 5 prompts and fed it to Kaiber to create animations for free
—-------------------------------------------------------------

Then I decided to use bigspeak AI

And generated a narration for myself
—-------------------------------------------------------------

It was still missing something

So I decided to use beatoven to create a background score
—-------------------------------------------------------------

I put it all together using a video editing app and voila!

This shows the potential of generative AI

I have no expertise in creating music or animation or children’s stories and I was still able to create something half decent using these tools
—-------------------------------------------------------------

Potential of the future:

I have used this to visualize a children’s story

But tech like this can have several applications

From education to entertainment - Whole dynamics of how work gets done will be shifted.

I'm keeping my finger on AI developments pulse for you!

Check out these 6 things that happened last week: 👇👇
-------------------------------------
1) Pentagon explosion

An AI generated image of an explosion at the pentagon went viral causing chaos on the internet last week.

Markets dipped by around 0.26 per cent as reports of the fakery emerged, but recovered soon after.

To spot an AI image and avoid running into future spooks like this you can do the following:

- Look for clues in the image like nearby landmarks, road signs and even the weather conditions
- Pay special attention to people’s eyes, hands and general posture
- Look at the source of the news. A news as big as an explosion outside the pentagon won’t just come from a single source.
-------------------------------------

2) DragGan

The new AI editing tool is able to regenerate areas of the image that did not exist before instead of changing a picture pixel by pixel or distorting the pixels.

It allows a user to manipulate an image by dragging any two main components. Users can change the angle or direction of objects, the expression on an animal’s or person’s face as well as turn a small hill into a mountain.
-------------------------------------

3) Google colab coding assistant

Among the new AI features coming to Colab one is Codey, a dedicated chatbot to help you through the coding process, plus has the ability to generate code using natural language.

The feature will first be rolled out to paying users in the US and will slowly expand to other geographies in time.
-------------------------------------

4) Generative AI tool in photoshop

Driven by the AI picture generator, Firefly, the tool enables users to easily extend photos, add or delete items using text prompts. It is a level up from their Content-Aware Fill tool.

The tool can do the following through natural language prompts:
- Remove objects
- Add objects
- Extend images
- and much more
-------------------------------------

5) Nvidia's project helix

Dell and NVIDIA announced a joint initiative to make it easier for businesses to build and use generative AI models

Project Helix simplifies enterprise generative AI deployments with a combination of its hardware and software.
-------------------------------------

6) Anthropic raised 450$ million series C

Last week Anthropic announced that it had raised $450 million in Series C funding. 

The firm is currently building new features, such as 100K context windows, which allow users to submit hundreds of pages of materials for its digital AI assistant Claude to digest and analyze.


A lot of people are comparing Crypto in 2021 to AI in 2023

They’re wrong to say that they’re both just hype bubbles. Here’s why:

------------------------------------------
Let’s make one thing clear first:

There is a ton of excitement around AI right now.

That excitement will likely pull back a bit at some point.

------------------------------------------
This doesn’t mean that the AI bubble will “pop” like crypto did.

We'll start with crypto and Web3.

The total market cap of every mainstream cryptocurrency combined was about $2.8 trillion at its peak.

------------------------------------------
Despite massive financial interest, its real-world impact was relatively low.

The vast majority of the population wasn’t using it.

That’s because its solutions weren’t very efficient.

------------------------------------------
Bitcoin isn’t a means of value transfer in everyday life.

Most app developers don’t want to build a decentralized app.

For every 1 person “in it for the tech,” there were 100 in it for a quick financial gain.

------------------------------------------
Widespread crypto adoption is a long shot.

Plus, because most Web3 ideas require widespread adoption, low-level adoption probably won’t cut it.

Yes, crypto and Web3 could rise again, but it’s far from a certainty.

------------------------------------------
Now, onto AI.

AI is different in a few ways.

First, we already use it and have been for years.

It's not new.

------------------------------------------
Voice-to-text transcription is AI.

Assistants like Siri and Cortana are AI.

This technology has been in our lives for a while already.

------------------------------------------
Second, it has greater potential than crypto.

Generative AI could change creativity forever.

Self-driving cars could replace human drivers.

AI-assisted education is an exciting frontier.

This tech has a real chance to fundamentally alter how we live.

------------------------------------------
Third, even if the whole world doesn’t change, AI will still be hyper-useful.

That’s because AI makes software significantly better.

Summarization, transcription, writing, and web design are all nice to have.

Almost anyone can use those, and they're already pretty good.

------------------------------------------
My argument is this:

Crypto has a low chance of changing the world in a significant way and might not even make a mid-sized impact.

AI has a moderate chance of changing the world in a significant way and will definitely make a mid-sized impact.

------------------------------------------
There are parallels between these two phenomena, but they’re fundamentally different.

Don’t brush AI off because it looks like other hype bubbles have looked.

The ceiling and floor on it are both higher, and it's worth paying attention to.
