CALIFORNIA (Kashmir English): Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is an investor in a new startup called OpenArt, launched by two former Googlers last year, that has just made a new product called a one-click story, which uses more than 50 publicly released AI models to automatically produce AI Brain-rot videos.
It is being carried out so that the cost of entry for the content producer can be low. Users can create AI-Brain rot videos with any single sentence or a written script, or even a song; hence, it provides a platform and gives liberty to its users. However, the platform is legally scrutinized as the producer of brain rot involves copyright infringement
This new feature, called the one-click story, is taking the AI startup created in 2022, OpenArt, formed by two former Googlers, by storm. This tool helps to create video easily as it enables users to create a short animated video, also called the AI-Brain rot videos, based on a single sentence, script, or a song.
These viral videos that appeal to the younger audiences have unusual characters such as a shark wearing sneakers, or a dancer with a cappuccino as a head.
The platform aims to reduce the barrier to entry on the side of creators. It has a one-click option with three templates: Character Vlog, Music Video, and Explainer. They allow the user to type in an image of a character and a prompt and assemble them using Artificial Intelligence; it can even interpret song lyrics to generate AI-Brain rot videos aligned to the visuals.
The platform utilizes more than 50 AI models, such as DALL-E 3 and Stable Diffusion, so creators have an extensive set of tools.
Strength in consistency of characters is one of the main weaknesses of AI video generation, and OpenArt thinks it excels at it.
The technology of OpenArt will not only eliminate the disjointed clips as seen in other models, but it also intends to make the character remain the same throughout a video, thus making the video flow in a coherent story.
Although this technology holds the promising potential of creating content at rapid speeds, several important ethical and legal issues are attributed to it as well. Intellectual property (IP) theft is one of the big problems because the site provides the user with choices in characters that are similar to popular characters such as Pikachu and Super Mario.
The company states that models are constructed in such a way that they do not allow copyrighted characters, but cofounder and CEO Coco Mao admitted that sometimes it happens.
This may culminate in legal disputes, which are already evident with lawsuits of AI companies by companies such as Disney and Universal. OpenArt is, however, willing to negotiate the license deal with big IP owners.
