NOTE: This is a second weekly episode delivered in addition to the regular weekly episode as a bonus. These episodes are about tech, or using tech, that's relevant to online/digital creators and educators.
Generative AI video reached a turning point during these past couple weeks when it became free and accessible to everyone through new apps from OpenAI, YouTube, Meta, and Google. These tools are being aimed squarely at social media (for now, anyway), and this will fundamentally change what we see in our feeds and search results. In this video, I break down exactly what has happened with tools like Sora 2 and Googles Veo 3 model. And Meta Vibes too, I guess.
We will look at the serious consequences of this change on both the Internet and human creativity. I explain the true creative process, which involves iteration, deep thinking, and subconscious connections, and I discuss why replacing this process with AI prompts is a problem for humans. This is a look at what we are creating, what we are losing, and what we need to do to support a more human internet.
