Tech Update Bonus: How AI Video Tools Are Changing the Internet and Creativity
Note: This episode was recorded when this show was known as Human Internet Theory.
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.
