Slashdot: Meta's New Text-to-Video AI Generator is Like DALL-E for Video

Meta's New Text-to-Video AI Generator is Like DALL-E for Video
Published on October 01, 2022 at 02:52AM
AI text-to-image generators have been making headlines in recent months, but researchers are already moving on to the next frontier: AI text-to-video generators. From a report: A team of machine learning engineers from Facebook's parent company Meta has unveiled a new system called Make-A-Video. As the name suggests, this AI model allows users to type in a rough description of a scene, and it will generate a short video matching their text. The videos are clearly artificial, with blurred subjects and distorted animation, but still represent a significant development in the field of AI content generation. "Generative AI research is pushing creative expression forward by giving people tools to quickly and easily create new content," said Meta in a blog post announcing the work. "With just a few words or lines of text, Make-A-Video can bring imagination to life and create one-of-a-kind videos full of vivid colors and landscapes." In a Facebook post, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg described the work as "amazing progress," adding: "It's much harder to generate video than photos because beyond correctly generating each pixel, the system also has to predict how they'll change over time."
