In every significant AI progression, key benchmarks arise. For AI video, the "Will Smith Eats Spaghetti" test stands out. Today, I evaluated the latest Runway Gen-2 update using this test, now enhanced with music :)

It seems that many commentators don’t know that this is a joke. I purposely made him snort and also chose the worst clips with the most morphing. Please don’t compare this seriously 😳

The old WSES test... already sounds historic 😆

Rigorous testing in the name of science. Excellent findings that, yes, he should eat spaghetti.

@aiCreativeDirec LOL, for science, for sure

I did an official collaboration with Will Smith for his song, “Beautiful Scars”. Being the first AI creator to actually collaborate with him is insane considering his place in AI culture as the litmus test for how far we’ve come. “Will Smith eating spaghetti” 🫶🏽

The generative AI craze began with videos of Will Smith eating spaghetti. Now we’ve reached the point where Will Smith himself has to use AI to create fake live concert footage, because hardly anyone cares about his music anymore.

Absolutely sick. The Pentagon is using the war on Iran to test out their new autonomous weapons and AI targeting systems. Just like in Gaza, they are using human beings as test subjects for their lethal AI experiments.

Studio MCP Server now supports full agentic loops, and Assistant can connect to external LLMs via Bring Your Own Key (BYOK). This allows creators to automatically edit, test, and refine their code with AI in plain language on Roblox using their preferred tools. The simple video shows a full loop with analyze, test, bug found, fix, test, pass.

How has Gen-2’s marriage with #midjourney advanced the fundamentals of AI cinema? Things like consistent characters and locations? Changing shot length, sizes, angles & emotions? Everything you see and hear in this test is AI generated. Sound on and stay to the end 👀 Runway

WIP I am currently integrating my "AI video texture" technique with face tracking scripts and active ragdoll physics in standalone VR. For this test video, I only applied the AI video texture to the face, but the body will look much more realistic once I apply the technique to the entire model. I've also figured out how to achieve highly detailed, realistic hair and foliage using the same technique.

2 years ago we watched will smith eating spaghetti in some lovecraftian horror created by cutting edge AI now we have AI creating entire skits, using pretty a sophisticated understanding of humor the tech won’t slow down regardless of what the market does

Here's a World War 2 movie trailer I made this weekend, completely generated using AI text-to-video! Script written by GPT-4, Michael Caine voiceover with , and video AI generated with Runway Gen-2 😮 We still have a ways to go but the potential is so exciting!

This video was made almost entirely by AI. I used ChatGPT to write a script, Midjourney to create reference images, Runway Gen-1 to apply the style of the images to my source video, and Boomy AI for the music. Workflow breakdown w/ comparisons in thread. 🧵

Also includes the ultimate version of "otter on a plane using wifi" - my old test for AI image models that is now obsolete because this is a trivial thing for all image generators. Thus, I turned it into a video with veo 2.

Ran a test on our Star Wars trailer using Runway. All of the shots are 100% animated by #Gen2. This project has 0 keyframes... I can't begin to express how big of a deal this innovation is for the film industry. #filmmaking #AI #StarWars #Runway #midjourney

🎬 Midjourney v7 + Kling + Gen-4 + Udio: Showreel Midjourney v7 is out, so I decided to do a quick video showcasing the new model. We've had a great time recently with the release of Gen-4 as well, so this is my first video using both of these wonderful tools.

Introducing A video editor I built from scratch using Claude AI. This took 3 months and over 50k lines of code. I totally skipped design and went straight to code. Currently in early access. You can test out the AI tools with a free account.

Part 1/2 This one took me a while. I made the images in #Midjourney using a bunch of images for ref. I ran them through RUNWAY then used @lumaAI to create the transitions between each video. Music made with #Sunoai. #fyp #ai #aiart #aiimages #aivideo #aimusic #airt

For a couple years, I have been using "otter using wifi on an airplane" as my test for the improving ability of AI image and video systems. But this is now too easy a challenge for current AI, so what if we kicked it up a notch (these are all veo 2 clips).

🎬Midjourney + Runway + Hailuo AI + Udio: "Winter's Call" (AI music video) It felt amazing to get the opening shot, and both the cat and the owl look very natural, thanks to Hailuo AI. I used Gen-3 Alpha and Alpha Turbo to get some of the precise, rotating shots. It's great to enrich interior design with more elements, and I feel like we're reaching a point where we'll be able to accomplish even more in the future with AI 🩶 Images: Midjourney v 6.1 Video: Gen-3 Alpha by Runway and Hailuo AI Music: Udio v 1.5 Editing: CapCut
