Meta's 'Make-A-Video' AI system generates videos from TEXT prompts

Meta debuted a new type of art-generating AI that can create videos from nothing but text prompts - with results that are creepy, surreal and impressive. The artificial intelligence system announced on Thursday, called Make-A-Video, uses existing images with captions to learn about the world and how it's described and uses unlabeled videos to determine how the world moves. The resulting videos run the gamut from surreal to stylized and creepy to convincing. Mark Zuckerberg's company has not announced when the system may become available to the public or whether there will be any restrictions - but there's a sign-up form that people can fill out if they want to test Make-A-Video in the future. Advances in using AI to create videos on demand poses all sorts of ethical dilemmas - not to mention the possibility for deepfakes and disinformation.
