ByteDance's Goku AI: The New Tool Changing How We Make Videos

ByteDance, the company behind TikTok, has introduced Goku AI, a new tool that creates images and videos using advanced technology called rectified flow transformers.

Key Features of Goku AI:

• Text-to-Video Creation: Turn written descriptions into videos easily.

• Image Animation: Bring still images to life with motion.

• High-Quality Output: Produces clear and detailed visuals.

• Smooth Transitions: Ensures natural movement in videos.

Why Goku AI Matters:

By making Goku AI open-source, ByteDance allows businesses and creators worldwide to access advanced tools without high costs.

This could change how content is made, making it easier and more affordable to produce quality visuals. However, it also brings up concerns about how to control and regulate the use of such powerful technology.

How Do AI Images Really Work Behind the Scenes?

We create many AI-generated images for business and other purposes.

Have you ever wondered how some text is turned into pixel art that looks like it was made by humans? Sometimes, it's so realistic that you can't tell the difference.

VOX has you covered.

This video will show you how we got here and explain the full story behind generative image creation.

1. The Origin:

You might think AI image generators were invented in 2022 or around that time, but that's not true. The first AI image generator was actually created in 2016.

2. Why we decided to create art:

At that time, AI could only label data it was trained on. For example, if you showed it many pictures of cats, it could identify a cat in a picture. Researchers tried to reverse this process and eventually came up with a new idea.

This documentary will definitely help you create a few things.

• How an AI generator works

• How we got so good at creating AI images

• And a deeper knowledge

Someone who is up-to-date with AI doesn't need to know every tool.

The person who knows the most about AI concepts is in IT.
