I've generated hundreds of AI videos using Runway's Gen-3 and Luma AI's Dream Machine. Here's what I've learned:

𝟵 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀

1. If ChatGPT was the "iPhone moment" for LLM chatbots, we're now witnessing the same for generative AI video.

2. While Runway and Luma (even Kling from Kuaishou Technology) haven't quite reached the level of Sora (e.g., they can't produce 1-minute clips), they're getting very close with sufficient computing power.

3. Hallucinations within videos are unavoidable. Just as early image models struggled with fingers, AI videos have trouble with many details.

4. Creating an ideal video requires iteration with both Runway and Luma. I expect the same will be true for Sora once it's accessible.

5. Not every style, scene, or detail can be generated by AI video models. It depends on their training data and methods.

6. Managing expectations is key. AI won't take over, but it's also far from useless. What we are witnessing is a major leap forward.

7. For stories with consistent characters and styles, image-to-video is essential. It's much harder to maintain consistency across multiple AI-generated videos than images.

8. More useful features are coming soon, offering greater control over your creations and making visual storytelling easier.

9. Both Runway and Luma are publicly available. The best way to learn and have fun is to try them yourself. Roll the dice. Have fun!

I hope this saves you time. 
What other findings have you discovered? 
Please share in the comments below!

(Video created with Runway Gen-3. Music generated with Suno)

Runway's Gen-3 is particularly good at transformations.

Simply use words like "transform" or "emerge" to get surprising outputs.

Sometimes you'll get them even without using such keywords.

10 seconds are long enough to allow such transformations to happen.

This is the beauty of text-to-video.

The same would be hard to achieve with image-to-video.

I will continue my quest to identify low-hanging fruits and best practices.

Please stay tuned.


(The video below contains five 10-second clips I generated with Gen-3, with no edits. Music was generated with Suno.)

What an honor to receive an autographed book from the author!

Thanks James (Kayliang) Ong, Andeed Ma, and Siok Siok Tan for enlightening us with your masterpiece:

"AI for Humanity: Building a Sustainable AI for the Future"

AI is not just about 10x productivity, and certainly not about replacing people. Regardless of how advanced it is, the fundamental principles should remain. This book is a high-level and comprehensive guide to sustainable AI for humanity.

I can't wait to dive into more details of the book.

Where can you find it? It's among the Amazon top sellers under the AI category.

You won't miss it!

____________________________

"AI for Humanity" will make you a thought leader in this space.

At this point, you may also want to learn generative AI in practice.

Then my new book is for you:

"Will ChatGPT Take My Job: Winning Strategies for Managers"

Coauthored with Taito SAKURAI, we aim to make you an expert in ChatGPT.

This book is on Amazon and Kindle. Please see the link in my profile.

____________________________

A fun fact: 

Principles from Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" were used in both books.

#aiforhumanity #ai #genai #chatgpt #wctmj

I built a GPT to write text-to-video prompts in seconds.

It is based on Runway’s official guide and additional tips from my experience.

Key features:

1. It translates simple or vague words into prompts that work for Runway.
2. It offers a base version, an optimized version, and three alternatives, perfect for testing.

This GPT is accessible to everyone.

To use it, simply access this GPT and input your idea, no matter how you phrase it. 

Please try it here https://lnkd.in/ga5w4F_n.

We are all new to Runway Gen-3, and certainly, this GPT is not perfect.

I will update it whenever I find better practices.

Last but not least, some content is not destined for LinkedIn, although we try to maximize the potential of the platform.

I will continue focusing on learning & business-related content in my LinkedIn content, while making other kinds of content, such as entertaining content, on other platforms.

Please follow me on TikTok https://lnkd.in/ggamuZpU

It will be a fun ride.

PS: This post was inspired by a conversation I had with my friend David Finnegan. He's also been building an excellent Runway prompt GPT. Please find it in his latest post!

Strange things in AI-generated videos?

Just like ChatGPT, when you ask it a question it's not familiar with, it gives you a made-up answer unless it's connected to an external source of information.

AI-generated videos show things against the laws of physics and random elements because the models have been trained on a massive, but still limited, dataset, which doesn't cover all possible scenarios.

To elaborate further, here are a few key reasons:

1. Limitations in training: the AI hasn't "seen" many things.
2. Lack of understanding in physics, life science, and more.
3. Ambiguity of text-only prompts from the users.

Human imagination, on the other hand, has no limits.

So, how can we fit our imagination into such a temporary limitation? (I think it's temporary because as AI video models advance, our perceptions will be challenged again soon.)

1. Check the official source to learn how it works.
2. Test and identify your ideal scenes that work for this AI.
3. Play the probability game by iterating and optimizing.

I call this process "Rolling the Dice" and have been applying it to the other generative AI tools. 

To learn more, find my book "Will ChatGPT Take My Job: Winning Strategies for Managers" on Amazon and DM me to get a free deep-dive course on the core methodology. 

P.S. The videos below were made with Runway Gen-3 with no edits on each 10s clip. Music was made with Suno.

This AI is on fire (literally 👇).

Runway's Gen-3 is one of the best generative AI video tools with public access.

I wanted to test Gen-3's capabilities for rendering text.

On average, I picked 1 clip out of 5 for each prompt.

The single words are the easiest to render, although the output can be unpredictable.

It's like clicking the "surprise me" button, and you always get surprised.

The difficulty increases exponentially when adding more words.

Overall, I think the potential for content marketing is huge.

To tap into this trend, the best way is to learn prompt writing for both video and images.

Can I give you a 💯% AI city tour?

Made with Runway Gen-3. Here’s the prompt: 

“
Through the eyes of a FPV camera, zoom past a miniature [description of location and era], buildings and tiny houses blur into a colorful mosaic as you dart between them, catching glimpses of bustling miniature streets and bustling markets below. The camera weaves through narrow alleys and around [describe the context more], capturing the lively essence of this town with exhilarating speed and precision.

Copying and pasting prompts won’t make you a power user of AI. 

But mastering the probability game will.

ChatGPT, like other AI tools, are essentially prediction machines. The more complex the problem you want to solve, the more effort you need to spend on crafting the right prompts to get the desired results.

But it doesn't have to be a guessing game! By learning how to "roll the dice" – that is, strategically crafting your prompts and follow a carefully designed iterative process – you can unlock the full potential of ChatGPT and achieve your goals faster and more efficiently.

In my recent book "Will ChatGPT Take My Job: Winning Strategies for Managers," my co-author Taito and I demonstrate how to leverage this "rolling the dice" methodology across multiple problem-solving scenarios, achieving remarkable outcomes.

Due to overwhelming interest from our readers, I've created a 51-minute training video that reveals the secrets of "rolling the dice".

Key topics include:

✔️ Understanding probability
✔️ 4 Steps to Master ChatGPT
✔️ Why Rolling the Dice works
✔️ Rolling the Dice in Action
      ↳ Writing 
      ↳ Brainstorming
      ↳ SWOT Analysis
      ↳ Working with Excel files
✔️ Rolling the Dice with Gemini
✔️ Rolling the Dice with Claude

This course is your stepping stone to becoming a pro player of AI.

BONUS: If you've already purchased the book, you'll receive the course for FREE!
