Insane, terrifying, incredible, etc.

We're rapidly stumbling into the future of media.

Who would've imagined a year ago that trivial AI image generation would not only be this advanced, but also this pervasive in the mainstream.

And now video is already this good. We'll have full audio/video clips within a month.



Audio is the next thing that Stability AI is dropping, then video. In a few months you'll be able to conjure up anything you want if you have a few GPU cores. Pretty incredible.


I won’t be impressed until it can generate smells.


You joke, but that is in the works as well (would require special hardware though) https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/09/digitizing-smell-using-mol...


Oh, it wasn’t really a joke. Didn’t know they were working on it though - I’ve always thought wanted to see use of all the senses in UIs, especially VR.

Plus then maybe we could get a computer to tell us what thioacetone smells like without actually having to experience it.
