A new creative AI system called ModelScope is now pumping out short videos in response to text prompts. The early results are wonderfully bizarre and thoroughly memeworthy – but it's immediately clear how immensely powerful these tools will become. Developed by a collaborative team at Huggingface, Modelscope is a "multi-stage text-to-video diffusion model," which takes plain English text prompts, attempts to understand what you're hoping to see, then generates and de-noises a short video for you. You can play with it online through a very simple interface. It's very early days for this sort of thing, making it the perfect time to marvel both at its incredible capabilities and at its bizarre misunderstanding of the world.
