One of the original AI-whoah moments was that italian fashion/harry potter mashup [0]. Some time after it came a "making of" video which outlined how they used ChatGPT to prompt Midjourney to create the images [1]. To me, this established using generative systems to create prompts for other generative as an effective pattern for using such systems. 0. link 1. ▶ this video

Patrick here. Yeah there's a lot of AI video out there. There are also plenty that are more story-driven better ones nowadays. link None of these are end-to-end automated though. Even for a video without a story like the Harry Potter Balenciaga style ones, there's a lot of manual cherry-picking and manual editing going on. Here's a process example for that type of content that looks quite automateable ▶ this video - but both 1. No one _has_ automated this and 2. It's much more difficult than it looks because of the manual cherry-picking part, and the story, character/enivornment consistency, etc. I am really looking for another instance of "type text, get story video". I do think it's a bold claim that we're first but I haven't seen a counterexample yet.

Without even leaving the phone: > "I'm more comfortable doing this on my phone" ▶ this video was kind of blown away by that thought, having had the pleasure of using Premiere-type suites on a desktop computer just to edit a simple timelapse
