An Avalanche of Generative AI Videos Is Coming to YouTube Shorts (www.wired.com)

Eli Collins, a vice president of product management at Google DeepMind, first demoed generative AI video tools for the company’s board of directors back in 2022. Despite the model’s slow speed, pricey cost to operate, and sometimes off-kilter outputs, he says it was an eye-opening moment for them to see fresh video clips generated from a random prompt.

Now, just a few years later, Google has announced plans for a tool inside of the YouTube app that will allow anyone to generate AI video clips, using the company’s Veo model, and directly post them as part of YouTube Shorts. “Looking forward to 2025, we're going to let users create stand-alone video clips and shorts,” says Sarah Ali, a senior director of product management at YouTube. “They're going to be able to generate six-second videos from an open text prompt.” Ali says the update could help creators hunting for footage to fill out a video or trying to envision something fantastical. She is adamant that the Veo AI tool is not meant to replace creativity, but augment it.

Oh sweet, I'll be looking at that tonight. Thanks. If it blocks on their page I'll just disable, watch, reenable, but it sounds like this should only work on the main page. Thanks again

Yeah, that's way smarter than my suggestion. Glad I could help.

You can just import this filter list someone made. I use it and it's great!
