Beyond Text and Images
The frontier of generative AI is moving beyond static text and images into the realm of dynamic multimedia, including video, audio, and interactive content.
The Emerging Tools
- AI Video Generation: Tools like Sora and Runway can create short video clips from text prompts, animate existing images, or change the style of a video. While still in its early stages, this technology is evolving rapidly.
- AI Audio and Music: AI can generate realistic voiceovers from text, create custom sound effects, and compose royalty-free background music in a variety of genres.
- AI for 3D and Interactive Content: AI tools are emerging that can generate 3D models, textures, and even entire virtual worlds for use in gaming and metaverse applications.
Current Applications
Today, AI is most practically used to assist in multimedia workflows. For example, it can be used to write a script for a video, generate storyboard images, create a voiceover, and compose background music, leaving the final video editing and assembly to a human creator.
