AI video generators are reaching a tipping point, and just after OpenAI’s Sora’s text-to-video prowess swept social media, a new challenger from China, Kling AI, is doing the same.
Both Kling and Sora use powerful technology to create videos that look incredibly real. For instance, Kling can make use of 3D reconstruction to create a video of a panda chowing down on ramen noodles, complete with all the wrinkles and fur details!
But the race doesn’t stop there. Luma AI, a California-based startup specialising in visual AI, has thrown its hat into the ring with Dream Machine. This new video generator utilises cutting-edge AI to create stunningly realistic visuals.
From animals engaging in hilariously human activities to surreal scenarios that defy logic, here are the Top 10 mind-blowing videos produced by AI.
Animals Enjoying Human Activities
The AI-generated videos are endearing and funny, from a kangaroo slurping up some udon to a panda gorging on a bowl of ramen. The degree of realism and detail is evidence of Kling’s powers and the advancements in AI. Thousands of people have reacted to and shared the videos from the post, which has since gone viral. Numerous people have also voiced their surprise at the concept’s inventiveness and the visuals’ high calibre.
Polar Bear’s Unexpected Adventures
A new video by Kling shows a polar bear doing things no polar bear has ever done. First, the bear is riding a mountain bike down a trail. Next, the bear is in a Formula One car, racing at high speeds. We see the bear belly dancing in a sparkly outfit. Finally, the bear sings karaoke! This video is more than just funny. It shows how Kling can make unique and surprising videos.
AI Reveals Eye’s Hidden Beauty
The video shows an extreme close-up of a 24-year-old woman’s eye blinking, standing in Marrakech during magic hour. The cinematic film was made to look like it was shot in 70mm with depth of field and vivid colours. It was created using Luma AI’s Dream Machine.
This clip delves into the intricacies of the human eye, capturing its mesmerising colours. The AI algorithms make use of light refraction, intense colour, and slow zoom to create a realistic and captivating scene.
Canine Code Cracker
An internet video featuring a Labrador retriever using a computer has gone viral! With its paws flying across the keyboard, the dog appears serious, dressed in an oversized black hoodie. The screen light illuminates the dog’s face. It’s not clear what the dog is doing. Maybe it’s playing a game, or maybe it’s just typing randomly. The video doesn’t tell us, but it’s definitely unusual to see a dog using a computer like this! The video was entirely generated by Sora.
Animal Boxing Tournament:
Made by Kling user Lightning Kiki, this video shows a series of shots that were used to build up to an animal boxing tournament. The video shows a rabbit and a tiger in a boxing match with a crocodile as the match referee and cats as judges. It is a part of Kling’s “real world Zootopia” strand.
Deepfakes and Reboots
The video, created by YouTuber EZRyderX47, is a fantastic illustration of deepfake technology’s artistic potential. This video overlays Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Holland’s features over those of Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox, giving us a realistic idea of what it may look like if the Avengers resurrect the beloved 1985 film Back to the Future.
Animated Mona Lisa
Microsoft unveiled the VASA-1, a new AI model that can virtually and flawlessly merge an audio clip of a speaker with a still image of a face. Researchers demonstrated how they animated the Mona Lisa to recite an amusing rap by actress Anne Hathaway in one demo film.
Celebrity Reunions
An approximately minute-long video of Hollywood stars embracing their younger selves was shared by a user on X. Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, Eminem, Keanu Reeves, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Michael Jackson, Johnny Depp, and Harrison Ford were some of the stars included in the AI-generated video. The video was created using Kling AI.
AI Makes People Melt
The video is an assemblage of AI-generated gymnastics footage using Dream Machine. The shifts from one human shape to another are horrifying, yet curiously alluring, as sportsmen with four legs blend into themselves and their surroundings. It resembles staring into a funhouse mirror while high on psychedelics and mixed in with some glitchy digital artefacts.
Life-Like Animals Take Centre Stage
The next few videos, made from a series of shots rather than a single clip, were shared by the Kling team on YouTube. They feature life-like animals performing human tasks and activities, including a rabbit reading the newspaper, a monkey sipping coffee, a giraffe, a chimpanzee, and a fox participating in a bike race. The video was created by Kling AI.
