??Runway's AI Merges with Getty Images for a Groundbreaking Video Model

Runway and Getty Images have teamed up to launch an innovative AI-powered video model tailored for enterprise customers, blending advanced AI technology with a rich content library.

???Why You Should Pay Attention:

• Creative Expansion: This model promises a new era of customized, high-quality content across various sectors like film, advertising, and media.
• Customization at its Core: Enterprises can now personalize this model with their own data, opening doors to unique and brand-aligned content creations.

???Deep Dive:

• A Trend in Motion: This move aligns with Getty's collaborations with OpenAI and Shutterstock, showcasing the growing integration of generative AI in our digital world.
• Legal Intrigues: Getty's ongoing lawsuit against Stability AI adds a layer of complexity to the narrative of AI in the creative domain.

???Our Take:

This partnership isn't just about new technology; it's about a shift in how we interact with and create digital content. Generative AI is no longer a future concept—it's here, reshaping our creative processes and outputs.

Gemini: Google's AI Breakthrough

Gemini is Google's advanced AI model, known for its multimodal capabilities. It's designed to process and understand various types of data, including text, images, and audio, making it a powerful tool for a wide range of applications.

• New Launch Date: The launch of Gemini AI has been rescheduled to January 2024.
• Reason for Reschedule: The delay is primarily due to the AI's challenges in handling non-English queries, ensuring its effectiveness and applicability globally.

Twitter's Take

@cocktailpeanut has shared a video that might just give us a glimpse into Gemini's potential. Check out their tweet for a preview of what's to come!

?? Our Take:

As exciting as the demo video from Google Gemini is, those videos are cherry-picked and stitched together to promote Google's new AI models. Until we get access to the demo that was shown, I will remain cautious about joining the hype.

?? Magnific AI

Magnific AI is an innovative upscaling and enhancing tool that feels like magic! ?? It's designed to transform images into high-resolution versions with incredible detail. Ideal for photographers, graphic designers, digital artists, and anyone who needs to upscale images for professional or personal use.

• Key Features:?? Advanced AI tech for high-resolution upscaling.?? Detail enhancement that reimagines your images.?? Customizable settings including a 'Creativity' slider.?? User-friendly interface, suitable for beginners and pros.
• Why It Matters:? Perfect for enhancing workflow and creative processes.?? Before this tool, we didn't have user-friendly AI image-enhancing tools, which have significantly changed the quality of AI-generated images. This tool has further blurred the line between what is generated and what is a photograph?? This tool has also changed our workflow, and we have already integrated these tools into our processes. We demonstrate step by step how to incorporate this tool into our workflow in our C.A.S.H. Camp

Here’s a sample: check it here.

We've availed the lowest plan and are thrilled with how Magnific AI integrates into our AI-driven product image workflow.

???? From Skepticism to Insight: My Journey with AI-Generated Art ????

Less than a year ago, I wasn't able to make anything out of AI-generated images, but it made me want to explore more. Little did I know how fast things would change since then. Keeping an open mind, curiosity and caution are the best formula for growth.

???Current Camper Spotlight

We want to give a big shoutout to one of our campers Elena Kulikova. She is an extremely talented photographer. Below are the images that she crafted with the Midjourney style tuner feature that we have demonstrated inside our C.A.S.H. Camp. Check out her works on her Instagram: @elenakulikovastudio

This group is designed to be intimate, featuring hands-on activities. There are a few seats left for the January cohort. If you're committed to future-proofing your skill set by adding more tools to your creative toolkit, check out our C.A.S.H. Camp here.
