FYI - Runway is amazing with human characters but when I tried to do Baby Yoda, Sailor Moon or even Batman, it got really confused since it was trying to keep my face proportions the same.

The AI adventure Part 3: AI can give you superpowers! Played around with RunwayML last night and tried to recreate their recent viral video. Didn't turn out as cleanly but it was a lot of fun to make!

The whole process took 20 minutes which I found too long but I can probably cut that down if I templatize things. You can see one of the creepy videos in this thread and the final video here: youtube.com/watch?v=-Q60aFJi…

The results landed us right in the uncanny valley. I tried one of the preset "hosts" but it was still weird. The text-to-speech output from EL was great so I took that and copied/pasted game GIFs into the video instead of using actual video footage.

🖼️🤖 One of the coolest things? I even used AI to create my YouTube channel's logo, banner, and profile bio The logo is an AI robot playing videogames. At first, the AI spat out a mean-looking robot. So I asked it to make the robot cute, and that's how I ended up the logo
