More Cursed A.I. Video Generation with Luma Dream Machine - How To App on iOS! - EP 1304 S12

Music

Introduction

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening wherever you are in the world! My name is Jade and this is How to App on iOS. Today, we're diving into more cursed AI video creations using Dream Machine by Luma Labs. Last week was incredibly fun and a bit of a credit waste, so I'm excited to continue experimenting.

Sorry for the slight delay today; I’m feeling a bit better with less body ache—thanks to a eucalyptus-filled room and some intense Vix Vapor Rub therapy. My voice is still a bit congested, but I'm ready to dive into this.

Last week, I tried to be serious about AI video, attempting to create the next big thing. But I soon realized there's a whole world of 'cursed AI' out there, which is fascinating and equally entertaining. For instance, I found a Facebook group called Cursed AI, which is full of bizarre and mesmerizing AI-generated content.

Here's what we’re going to do today: I’ve prepared a bunch of cursed images in MidJourney, depicting alien-like creatures in eerie settings, and we’ll attempt to animate these using Luma Labs AI Dream Machine.

Starting the Experiment

Let's dive into Luma Labs and begin the cursed AI video creation:

  • First, I'll load some of my prepared images and see how the AI interprets prompts like "many faces within faces" or "destroy surroundings."
  • I also aim to create some really wacky scenarios like "old ladies running a marathon on an alien planet" or "police car chase through a chocolate city."
  • However, it seems the AI is a bit finicky today. Ideally, the images should turn into something animatedly bizarre, but we might just get stretched or slightly moved images instead.

Results and Analysis

The first few attempts resulted in disappointing animations that didn’t quite capture the “cursed” essence. Despite carefully crafting some eerie prompts and images, the generated videos were mundane and uninspired:

  1. Image Prompts: Faces amalgamating into each other, alien creatures, and abstracted human figures didn’t yield visually enticing animations.
  2. Video Prompts: Terms like “spaghetti monsters” or "melting faces" either went ignored or became too literal and basic in the representation.

During last week's experimentation, the AI had produced unexpectedly bizarre results without much effort. This week, however, it seems like Luma Labs may have tweaked its algorithms, making it difficult to replicate those 'cursed' scenarios purposefully.

Trying Random Prompts

Desperate times call for desperate measures:

  • I used randomly generated prompts such as “police cars flying,” “demonic possession,” and even queried ChatGPT for some novel cursed AI video ideas.
  • Surprisingly, prompts provided by ChatGPT like “birthday party where all guests are mannequins that only move when not being watched” gave slightly better results. However, these were still far from the creepy, bizarre visual intricacies I was hoping for.

Conclusion

In summary, today's attempt at creating cursed AI content using Luma Labs Dream Machine was an exercise in patience. The platform seems to have limitations when it comes to deliberate attempts at creating eerie, bizarre scenarios. While the concept of AI-generated video content is exciting, the current tools seem to fall short.

FAQ

Q: What is the main goal of using Luma Labs Dream Machine in this episode? A: The main goal was to create bizarre and 'cursed' AI-generated videos using pre-prepared images and unusual prompts.

Q: What were some of the prompts you used? A: Prompts included scenarios like "many faces within faces," "destroy surroundings," "old ladies running a marathon on an alien planet," and "police car chase through a chocolate city."

Q: Did the prompts work as expected? A: No, most of the prompts resulted in mundane and uninspired animations, often just slightly moving the original image without adding much more.

Q: What worked better during the experiment? A: Using random prompts generated by ChatGPT yielded slightly better results, though still not as bizarre and intricate as intended.

Q: Are there any tips for getting better results with AI video generation tools? A: Given the inconsistency in results, experimenting with various prompts and patience is key. Avoid very specific and detailed instructions as the AI may not interpret them well.

Q: Will you continue using AI tools for video creation? A: Due to the lackluster results, I'll reconsider the tools and methods for future projects. Current AI platforms like Luma Labs have limitations that need addressing for more complex tasks.
