NP. I’m sure nothing will happen in AI next week. Such a quiet subject. 😂 Have a great vacation and thanks so much for all you do! I love AI!!!! It’s amazing!
Personally, I don't...but, it is going to happen. I mean, the boomer generation is getting scammed by robocalls, or the "your bank account has been compromised, let me VPN into your computer"-- not all of them, of course. But a number of them. That's just going to be magnified to a massive amount when there is video of a trusted person. My personal take: train people now, if they ever see a strange request video from you, ask questions that you would only know the answer to.
Makes sense. That's the other thing about AI Avatars,: Everyone will have perfect teeth, which is almost...jarring? I understand it from an animation standpoint, but you're right, that'll be a tough hill to overcome. And one that might turn into a "tell" for AI Avatars.
The thing most people don't understand is that the Ai Gpu from Nvidia that will allow AI to run 400 times better will be coming in 6 months to a year so everything right now is really running on non-laced as in non-AI created as priority CPUs and GPUs once those Nvidia chips get activated in about 6 months to a year we're going to truly see everything change everything we're watching now is really just the first wheel made of stone just imagine what happens when AI is updated 400 times faster
Yeah, I don't like to ring the AGI bell. I think a LOT of people rang it too early. And I'm not even ringing it yet...but, I'm starting to look around the house to see where I stuffed that stupid bell, because I feel like I'm going to need it in the near future.
@@TheoreticallyMedia haha well I mean it's coming but even with AGI I think one thing open AI has done and you know we both you know I've used a lot of them I've used from open source AI to you know chat GPT I've used the playground AI I've used Claude you know they're not as extremely sophisticated as people like to think You know they're not going to be able to do everything in a human way because one thing I've done is someone who's used AI as an author is that I've seen that AI is not capable of writing or understanding the risk to human life you know it's not aware of that context and even with a GI yes it will be useful I mean that's what I'm waiting for I'm waiting for when I could just utilize AI on software for example have AI autopilot software such as unreal 5 engine you know unity engine and film software Because the true advantage of AI that's going to revolutionize everything and it's the revolution that I think software engineers have been praying for is that AGI or multimodal AI will eliminate the learning curve as in software engineers no longer have to basically limit the ability of their software for fear that the people they're selling it to won't be able to use it so now they can truly create software without a limitation so long as they build AI access points into it where the AI upon you just requesting what you need done will do it I mean just imagine my friend You're talking to final cut pro some video editing software and you just say you know what I need this scene with a zoom in a zoom out at a blur and a fade and make sure the background is not as visible and very blurry and it's done it's done That's what AI is going to allow us to do and when that comes you will see human creativity unlocked completely because the people developing the software are no longer limited and the people who purchase the software no longer have to worry about a learning curve That's what I'm waiting for I'm not waiting for the whole or AI will just be smarter and be able to do everything better than us people That's not as useful to think about because everything being made some things we won't be able to have a I do because it won't be able to understand the intent or the culture behind said tools or activity but when it comes to software that's where AI will free mankind
Oh, 100%. The advances of the last few months have really done nothing but prove their argument. There's a bit to go before we hit something like an AI Generated movie that is on the (visual) level of Barbie-- but everyone can clearly see that in 5 years, it'll be here.
Cool, sure, but takes weeks (literally) to process a video without paying first. You get 2 credits to make a video for free, but afterwards...it says you need to pay to "skip the line" for processing, or what for your videos turn to be processed...I did a video today (12/9/22 @ 1933) and this is the amount of videos to be processed before mine (25739+ videos processing now) today (13/9/22), the line has grown to (114,543+ videos processing now). So, essentially, even on a demo or free version with the 2 credits they give you, its forcing you to pay
@@TheoreticallyMedia very much possible, but unfortunately this pricing structure is not user friendly. I'd be willing to fork over money for a service as such, but this is strange.
Hi Tim, the italian "spoke" by Emma is absolutely perfect on tones and emphasis and the space left between sentences is impressive! By the way I would like to take advantage of this comment to let you know that I'm following you since last week and I would like to thank you for the massive and helpful information about AI that I got so far! Bravo!!!
oh that's fantastic to hear! Or...fantastico! (Didn't even need Google Translate for that one!) So, we have Spanish, French, and Italian now confirmed! Waiting for someone who speaks Hindi!
I 100% think that's coming. I think of the older folks who are getting scammed by Robocalls. Generally we're like, "How can you possibly fall for that?" -- And then I see this, and think of us at that age. And then I'm like, Ok-- I get it. Gonna need to stay savvy to the tech to be able to spot the little nuances.
The blinking is just too noticeable and creepy to me. It looks like there would be an air gap between the eye and eyelid as if being cupped. I bet it would look a lot better if that was fixed.
I'm sure it'll happen in the next 6 months to a year. So, I did watch the video on my phone, and I have to say: on a smaller screen, it kinda "buys" more.
I ran across one video the other day where someone was using a model of themselves- and to be fair, I was only kinda half watching the video, but it took me at least 10 seconds before I realized it. 2 years from now? I doubt I’ll be able to tell.
ON SITE REPLICATION MEMORY: Imagine that all the ghosts, apparitions, specters, spaceships, and other phenomena that people report but have never truly managed to capture on camera are remnants of the technology of an ancient civilization that had this type of device to replay memories at the location where they occurred. However, it was so advanced that they didn't need a physical device to see them. And that technology might still be operational, as it was based on self-sustaining nanostructures 😲😲😲😲
i can see a time were u dont buy a computer - - u buy an AI. a personal one linked to you like a fingerprint...handling ur health, wellness, creativity, learning '')
Back in the 80s there was some futurist (I wish I could remember his name) that said in the future we wouldn’t have computers. Just these small boxes you’d carry but there would be monitors everywhere. As mobile took off, I was like “oh, he didn’t quite get it right, but pretty close!” Your AI idea I think is the next step. I can totally see they being a thing. I don’t totally love it, mostly because it locks you into one “perspective” whereas I like bashing these AIs together to create weird things that were never intended, but for the masses? Yeah- I can totally see it.
its not bad for sure but its really pricy . capcut does some ai avies too that are free not quite as detailed maybe? but its a great start for a full free option
At this point, this video is a bit old and HeyGen has improved a lot since then. They’re even doing a “live stream” avatar (haven’t tested it yet), which is pretty crazy. A lot of others are in the arena now, but I’ll say that (currently) Hey Gen has the lead.
Does this scare you as a creator? I am thinking about starting a TH-cam channel but don't even know if I should at this point because these bots will be able to make videos by the thousands and I don't think people will care that they are bots as long as they pass as human
Eh, not too much to be honest. The video avatars are currently not great (but getting better), but ultimately I think there will be “tells” that give away an AI Avatar that most people will be able to see. Or at least unconsciously pick up on. There is sure to be a massive flood of these videos coming, but there’s always a flood of lower effort content. Remember “this but as a Dark 80s fantasy?” That said, I do recommend starting your channel now. Just kick it off and start building an audience. So at least when the bots arrive, you’ll have a group of people you’ve already made a connection with. Man, now I’m just thinking about the niche of “react” videos that can come out of this. “Human reacts to AI video.” Then “Ai reacts to Human video” and on and on it will go…
HA! I can't wait until I can just use an Avatar, it'll massively cut down on my flubbing editing time! And thanks man! I should stop by the Discord soon! BTW, did you do the bike ride this year?
Thank you!! Man, I wish AI Translation worked as flawlessly in real life! That would be helpful for travel! Although I'm going to try out Google Translate quite a bit on this trip!
Haha, hopefully everything will be fine...but great excuse for a new video on AI translation btw. Let us know how you did.... Best of times! @@TheoreticallyMedia
@@TheoreticallyMedia if he has this going on, the AI may have included that in the training and is reproducing those details too. If that's the case then this is even better than it looks.
Ahhh, man, you got me with the pets thing. A few years ago we had a dog pass away. She had her "spot" in the house, and to this day when you walk past it, I can still see her there. It would actually be kinda cool to have an AR version to visit from time to time. (That said, we do have a new dog now, that has its own "spot"!)
Wist - I can only think of every 80s movie where someone sits on the couch and continuously loops the VHS of their wedding, because their partner is dead.
I mean, I guess its the ethical thing to do. But yeah, I'd totally love an Elvis AI Avatar! Did you ever see True Romance? Where Val Kilmer plays Elvis as a spirit guide to Clarence, the main character? I would love that for my phone. Just a pep talk from Elvis from time to time. Haha...
Jiminy Christmas. I love Star Trek and Black Mirror but to be honest, when I was a child I loved Star Trek but Black Mirror would've shocked me into a coma back then. So maybe this new tech will be old hat and even comical to us in the future. Hopefully. If we make it that far.
In STNG Data noticed that his "mother"'s blinks had the same pattern as his, which clued him in to the fact that she was really an android that had replaced the Human woman.
Solid Star Trek lore there! Oh, wait! I said Lore in a comment about Data!! (Ps- I hope you saw the final season of Picard! It was just the right kind of fan service!)
thing with AI avatars is that the face (not the head but the face) always is looking forward, this is the biggest tell and uncanny valley aspect of them, people unconsciously move their head when talking and when the face seems to drift instead of moving with the head and rest of the body is just creepy.
That’s another good “tell” - I wonder if it might be a good idea to collect these and do a video in the near future about what to look for with an AI avatar, I think these early glitches are going to be important as the visual side gets better. They’ll minimize, but there will always be an aspect of them floating around. The straight audio/robocall AI stuff? That’s going to be brutal though. Lots of boomers are going to get scammed hard.
@@TheoreticallyMediayou're right, and that's so sad because it means there are so many lonely guys that they think have to turn to that kind of thing.
I agree so much with being increasingly critical as the models improve. It's gonna be important. Nice foresight! As for Wist, I think the reason the Wist memory thing is so haunting is because only someone who was really desperate to relive a memory would ever resort to it in its current state. That means it's likely going to be people grieving who are using it which automatically makes it really sad. Or maybe I thought way too deeply about this.
I mean, I'm not gonna lie-- when I saw that video of the baby and the couch, my first thought was "They lost the baby"-- haha, I just went instant-dark on it. I should probably chill out on the true-crime documentaries and watch some cooking shows on Netflix!
Haha, sorry!! But, again, like Grace Hopper's bugs: That'll get squashed in no time! But, it's a good "tell" to keep an (ahem) eye out for in the future!
Lots of people blink that much. Or move their heads and hands in unexpected ways. I don't think we should have only ONE mode of avatar, that would be really boring and frankly unnecessary - different bodies and faces, but moving the EXACT same way? No, thanks.
So, I totally agree with you. I think at some point there will be an AI Avatar that scans your movements and records those patterns as well. We all have unique mannerisms, and that will be important to catch. A good way of looking at it is the "Translation" section. I mean, there is an AI element there (the lip movement, and obviously the translation) but the "character" movement is legit, because it's obviously a real person. The Joshua AI Avatar is amazing, but it has a bit to go.
I could see that. I still say the v.2 version of this will have the blinking sorted out. It sort of seems like an easy fix-- but I'm also not an AI Programmer, so maybe that is harder than I think it is? I hate to be the guy who doesn't do "the thing" who says "That's easy right?" As the photo/video guy in my circle, I don't know how many times I get asked: "You can fix this photo, right? It's easy!" By easy, you mean about 4 hours of work in Photoshop? Haha
So, how can I get the News I'm interested in, read by an AI that is NOT a representation of a real person? I just want honest, unbiased news, without the baggage of News Anchor "Personality." It's good if the AI doesn't look exactly human, and is not an attempt to fool me that it is a real person.
It costs 200 dollars to use so we have not seen anything else than that demo that it auto generates. We don't know yet how well it works with custom video.
Someone said they tried it out with a Midjourney image and it wasn't so hot. I personally haven't seen it yet--- but , like all things tech: It'll start expensive and a bit janky, but with time, it'll be cheap and flawless. Probably sooner than we think, as well.
@@TheoreticallyMedia It will be quite soon as there has been some ok open source solutions for months now. There will be a iOS app quite soon that is perfect. Good luck news agencies to try to spot the deep fake videos.
Thank you! I'm going to try to juggle some AI News/Tools with some Deep Dives. Like one of each a week-- see how that goes! A bit of the best of both worlds!
I mean, I think that's today as well. But for sure, he'll be cited in film history as the guy who held the line. That, and his die hard commitment to shooting on film.
I've played around with this to report news on AI on "X Twitter" platform. I used an already trained avatar from Heygen and it came out AMAZING and another video with an image from Midjourney which also came out amazing but obviously not as good as the trained avatar. Great Stuff!
Is that with the new model? I can’t wait to play with it! I think you’ve confirmed something that I’ve suspected: real people are just going to work better with this tech than AI generated ones. There’s just something about AI to AI that kind of creates an un-reality field.
@@TheoreticallyMedia not sure if you are referring to newest Heygen model but I have been experimenting with the freshly released Canva pro and Heygen collab feature on Canva.
"Most of us will never own anything like that ..." I wonder? When magnetic core memory was $1 per bit, I never envisaged having a computer with 256 billion bits of memory, either. Just sayin' ...
Most of these AI avatars are intensively touching their hands while talking , but who really does speak like that ? Lol 😂 imagine humans would do this.

Do you ever worry about scammers using your face/avatar to scam your loved ones by posing as you in a video call?
Personally, I don't...but, it is going to happen. I mean, the boomer generation is getting scammed by robocalls, or the "your bank account has been compromised, let me VPN into your computer"-- not all of them, of course. But a number of them.
That's just going to be magnified to a massive amount when there is video of a trusted person. My personal take: train people now, if they ever see a strange request video from you, ask questions that you would only know the answer to.
@TheoreticallyMedia yeah. Hopefully, some things remain private enough for that to work.
The thing i noticed first was that his teeth are not properly attached to his jaw. moving slightly separately from his jaw movement.
Makes sense. That's the other thing about AI Avatars,: Everyone will have perfect teeth, which is almost...jarring? I understand it from an animation standpoint, but you're right, that'll be a tough hill to overcome. And one that might turn into a "tell" for AI Avatars.
The thing most people don't understand is that the Ai Gpu from Nvidia that will allow AI to run 400 times better will be coming in 6 months to a year so everything right now is really running on non-laced as in non-AI created as priority CPUs and GPUs once those Nvidia chips get activated in about 6 months to a year we're going to truly see everything change everything we're watching now is really just the first wheel made of stone just imagine what happens when AI is updated 400 times faster
Yeah, I don't like to ring the AGI bell. I think a LOT of people rang it too early. And I'm not even ringing it yet...but, I'm starting to look around the house to see where I stuffed that stupid bell, because I feel like I'm going to need it in the near future.
@@TheoreticallyMedia haha well I mean it's coming but even with AGI I think one thing open AI has done and you know we both you know I've used a lot of them I've used from open source AI to you know chat GPT I've used the playground AI I've used Claude you know they're not as extremely sophisticated as people like to think
You know they're not going to be able to do everything in a human way because one thing I've done is someone who's used AI as an author is that I've seen that AI is not capable of writing or understanding the risk to human life you know it's not aware of that context and even with a GI yes it will be useful I mean that's what I'm waiting for I'm waiting for when I could just utilize AI on software for example have AI autopilot software such as unreal 5 engine you know unity engine and film software
Because the true advantage of AI that's going to revolutionize everything and it's the revolution that I think software engineers have been praying for is that AGI or multimodal AI will eliminate the learning curve as in software engineers no longer have to basically limit the ability of their software for fear that the people they're selling it to won't be able to use it so now they can truly create software without a limitation so long as they build AI access points into it where the AI upon you just requesting what you need done will do it
I mean just imagine my friend You're talking to final cut pro some video editing software and you just say you know what I need this scene with a zoom in a zoom out at a blur and a fade and make sure the background is not as visible and very blurry and it's done it's done That's what AI is going to allow us to do and when that comes you will see human creativity unlocked completely because the people developing the software are no longer limited and the people who purchase the software no longer have to worry about a learning curve
That's what I'm waiting for I'm not waiting for the whole or AI will just be smarter and be able to do everything better than us people That's not as useful to think about because everything being made some things we won't be able to have a I do because it won't be able to understand the intent or the culture behind said tools or activity but when it comes to software that's where AI will free mankind

Oh, that is 100% going to be a massive market. I don't really cover it here, but yeah...that's going to be a billion dollar industry for sure.
@@TheoreticallyMediayou're right, and that's so sad because it means there are so many lonely guys that they think have to turn to that kind of thing.
I agree so much with being increasingly critical as the models improve. It's gonna be important. Nice foresight!
As for Wist, I think the reason the Wist memory thing is so haunting is because only someone who was really desperate to relive a memory would ever resort to it in its current state. That means it's likely going to be people grieving who are using it which automatically makes it really sad. Or maybe I thought way too deeply about this.
I mean, I'm not gonna lie-- when I saw that video of the baby and the couch, my first thought was "They lost the baby"-- haha, I just went instant-dark on it. I should probably chill out on the true-crime documentaries and watch some cooking shows on Netflix!
could also record a band performance and you can watch it back on any empty stage in AR :)
You have not met me yet lol I'm already far more advanced
I look forward to seeing if I can spot your AI “tells”
@@TheoreticallyMedia My voice model is advanced enough for me to become an official artist on Spotify 😉
Wist reminds me of the Minority Report scene where Tom Cruise's character replays home movies of his child.
THAT'S the movie I was thinking of! I could see the effect, but I couldn't remember the film! And once again: Phillip K Dick!
Interesting.
6 months and we won’t know the difference between an Ai avatar and the real thing. That’s my prediction
The hyperbole is ansury
Did you mean asinene? Ansury is a type of flower, no?
Are you the new Blade Runner? 2023's Harrison Ford critiquing the Avatar, finding out if an AI imposter or human.
You’re watching television. Suddenly you realize there’s a wasp crawling on your arm. How do you react?
Minority Report…..
THAT'S the movie I was thinking of! I could see the effect, but I couldn't remember the film! And once again: Phillip K Dick!
Wrinkle wrinkle little star 😂
haha, too good a flub not to keep in!
No!! Now you pointed out the excessive blinking, I can't unsee it!! :D
Haha, sorry!! But, again, like Grace Hopper's bugs: That'll get squashed in no time! But, it's a good "tell" to keep an (ahem) eye out for in the future!
Lots of people blink that much. Or move their heads and hands in unexpected ways. I don't think we should have only ONE mode of avatar, that would be really boring and frankly unnecessary - different bodies and faces, but moving the EXACT same way? No, thanks.
So, I totally agree with you. I think at some point there will be an AI Avatar that scans your movements and records those patterns as well. We all have unique mannerisms, and that will be important to catch. A good way of looking at it is the "Translation" section. I mean, there is an AI element there (the lip movement, and obviously the translation) but the "character" movement is legit, because it's obviously a real person.
The Joshua AI Avatar is amazing, but it has a bit to go.
Let me know when the AIs can do Live 2D animations mirroring my own body and mouth movements for videos (cheaply). Would love that.😊
Getting close! I’ll have a look when I get back from vacation! It won’t be real time, but mocap without mocap is REALLY close!
If it's trained on public speaking data then that would explain the increased blink rate
I could see that. I still say the v.2 version of this will have the blinking sorted out. It sort of seems like an easy fix-- but I'm also not an AI Programmer, so maybe that is harder than I think it is?
I hate to be the guy who doesn't do "the thing" who says "That's easy right?"
As the photo/video guy in my circle, I don't know how many times I get asked: "You can fix this photo, right? It's easy!" By easy, you mean about 4 hours of work in Photoshop? Haha
So, how can I get the News I'm interested in, read by an AI that is NOT a representation of a real person? I just want honest, unbiased news, without the baggage of News Anchor "Personality." It's good if the AI doesn't look exactly human, and is not an attempt to fool me that it is a real person.
Now you kind of have me wanting the news read to by an alien giraffe.
It costs 200 dollars to use so we have not seen anything else than that demo that it auto generates. We don't know yet how well it works with custom video.
Someone said they tried it out with a Midjourney image and it wasn't so hot. I personally haven't seen it yet--- but , like all things tech: It'll start expensive and a bit janky, but with time, it'll be cheap and flawless.
Probably sooner than we think, as well.
@@TheoreticallyMedia It will be quite soon as there has been some ok open source solutions for months now. There will be a iOS app quite soon that is perfect. Good luck news agencies to try to spot the deep fake videos.
I love the direction your channel has gone!
Thank you! I'm going to try to juggle some AI News/Tools with some Deep Dives. Like one of each a week-- see how that goes! A bit of the best of both worlds!
X it? why im here? i thought it was a good comment.
no i mean tweet it.
I don't think I'll ever say X it. Unless I ever finally make it to DMX Karaoke night. First we gonna rock, Then we gonna roll...
One day Christopher Nolan will be celebrated for making movies without computer-generated actors.
I mean, I think that's today as well. But for sure, he'll be cited in film history as the guy who held the line. That, and his die hard commitment to shooting on film.
Great stuff again. Thanks for keeping us informed. HayGen sure looks amazing.
My pleasure!! It really looks impressive, despite my ripping it down!
I've played around with this to report news on AI on "X Twitter" platform. I used an already trained avatar from Heygen and it came out AMAZING and another video with an image from Midjourney which also came out amazing but obviously not as good as the trained avatar. Great Stuff!
Is that with the new model? I can’t wait to play with it! I think you’ve confirmed something that I’ve suspected: real people are just going to work better with this tech than AI generated ones. There’s just something about AI to AI that kind of creates an un-reality field.
@@TheoreticallyMedia not sure if you are referring to newest Heygen model but I have been experimenting with the freshly released Canva pro and Heygen collab feature on Canva.
"Most of us will never own anything like that ..."
I wonder? When magnetic core memory was $1 per bit, I never envisaged having a computer with 256 billion bits of memory, either. Just sayin' ...
Sorry - but the clothing is a dead giveaway within 30 seconds of watching the video.
very good points! To add also he must have put soooo many hours of footage into this model with it being the use case -
Dude claims 2 minutes of material!
Imagine taking an old photo of your youthful self and making an avatar of that.
I'm sure they'll be doing exactly that with old movie stars soon.
Yup, I mean they kind of already have with the new Indy movie and a number of others. But yeah, we’ll all be playing with that tech soon enough!
@@TheoreticallyMedia Yes, of course, the Indy movie. 👍
Most of these AI avatars are intensively touching their hands while talking , but who really does speak like that ? Lol 😂 imagine humans would do this.
Haha, I’ll keep an eye on that. But yeah, I agree, some of those “natural” movements are very unnatural
