📝 AI Use Cases: A Weekly Roundup
As the world becomes increasingly reliant on technology, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more prevalent in our daily lives. In this weekly roundup, we'll be discussing the latest AI use cases that have emerged over the past week. From voice generators to image recognition, we'll be covering a wide range of topics that you can put to work today. So, without further ado, let's dive into the world of AI.
🎤 11 Labs Dubbing Studio
As a content creator and someone who has recently moved abroad, the 11 Labs Dubbing Studio is extremely exciting to me. Translation is getting better and better, and in my humble opinion, 11 Labs is the leader in the market when it comes to the quality of AI-generated voices. Now, on their website, they have added a brand new tab called "Dubbing." The thing is, this is very simple to use. You can share various links, and it will translate and create the voice in the same tonality. The cool thing is that YouTube is introducing this feature natively into the interface, so this is gradually rolling out. The AI Advantage Channel doesn't have it yet, but as you can see, there's a little switcher where you can actually switch the audio tracks. These aren't just subtitles, but fully dubbed tracks like movies dubbed in different languages make a lot of money. You could probably do a little of that. This means that very soon, all video content on the internet should be available in all languages. That's pretty exciting, especially if you consider other apps that actually adjust the video to fit this, like Haen.
🎨 Combining Multiplay Tools
One of the biggest points I would like to communicate in this format is that we look at the newest use cases that you can put to work. However, this doesn't mean that these use cases should be used in isolation. These usually stack beautifully on top of each other. All you have to do is get a little creative, and here's some inspiration for that. This is a combo of some tools that I showed you over the last week, and the results are quite stunning. The workflow starts out in Crea, where you can paint, and it generates the image with stable diffusion. Then this image that is generated runs through Magnific to increase the sharpness. He puts the super sharp custom image into M Journey to remix it with another prompt, which will generate the most artistic styles as M Journey is the best at that. Then he takes that and just adds a few random scribbles in Photoshop. He uses Magnific that we talked about to scale up the entire thing, and look at this. Isn't this incredible? Shout out to Emily Art for doing this. I love to see these combinations. If you come up with something similar, feel free to send it in via email.
🎥 Runway ML's Multi-Motion Brush
Runway ML has a new tool that allows you to use multiple motion brushes to animate photos into video. If you're not familiar with the original feature, it's very simple. You just paint over a certain area, and then you define how you want it to move, and it just does it. The problem is that in most scenes, you want different types of movements. The clouds move differently than the foreground subject. Now you can do that, and these are the results from the trailer. Multi-motion brush is bringing a new level of control to Gen 2, and we're really excited to see the creations that you make with it. Humans still look weird, but I found this fantastic little example on Twitter with somebody using an anime scene. As we talked about, usually these more anime, cartoonish, or drawn styles work better because they're more forgiving. Hyperrealism is really the hardest thing here.
🌐 Google Chrome's AI Image Generation
Google Chrome added this new AI image generation to customize your Google Chrome. I updated mine, and I don't have it yet, but I think this is a fantastic example of where all these products are heading. As I usually say, first, we get the standalone tools, and then they just blend into the applications we're already using. This is the next evolution of software, and this just illustrates that so beautifully. They have an image generation model, and now they just integrated it into Chrome, which allows you to customize your experience a bit. This is another thing I would expect from all the tools we're looking at. They're just going to be integrated into the apps, and one obvious one here would be Tik Tok.
🎭 Tik Tok's Depth Maps
Tik Tok has a lot of privacy issues surrounding the company, and the app gets a lot of people fired up. But the fact is, they did become one of the biggest video platforms on planet Earth, and they have the data to do things that nobody else will be able to do. This tool creates so-called depth maps from video. Depth maps are used in 3D modeling to communicate depth inside of a scene. The different tones that you see on the screen right now represent different depths. In the demo, this looks really good. They seem to get it right, and they're able to separate the background from the subject and all layers in between. Sure, you could go ahead and create your own depth maps if you're into 3D modeling. Now the demo space only works with images. Their demo is with video, but that's fine. You just upload an image, and it generates a depth map like this. This is just an interesting one that I wanted you to see. Some of this video research that is coming out is becoming increasingly mind-blowing.
🖥️ Screenshot to HTML
The most popular Hugging Face model of the week is called Screenshot to HTML. At this point, you might be saying, "Eigor, but you can actually use GP4 to upload a screenshot and turn that into HTML. So why should I care about this?" Well, fair enough. GP4 does that, yes, but it's paid. So are most other tools or things like GPT Engineer are not freely available yet, and this one is. It actually works. You can always use GP4 to help you along the way if you have absolutely no idea what you're doing. This week's use cases are just a few examples of how AI is changing the world. From voice generators to image recognition, the possibilities are endless. So, what are you waiting for? Start exploring the world of AI today.
