D-ID’s platform will utilize its already proven “text-to-video” software in order to turn an AI chatbot into a real “fake” person. Since the launch of the personal computer in the 1980’s to the advent of the internet in 1994, our global society has been on a collision course with robots, aliens, and everything else.
The dystopian movie classic “The Matrix” warned us about it. In 2023, the hottest new thing is called “generative AI”, and it will revolutionize how we live and conduct business every bit as much as air travel at the dawn of the 20th century.
If you’re thinking “getting off the grid” you’ve missed your chance by about a decade now, so don’t waste your time trying to do that. No one gets off the grid now, the door is closed, and the only way out is up, as in the pre-tribulation rapture. The robots are receiving brains now, brains that can think because they’re modeled on your brain. Remember that Twilight Zone episode of the couple living with robots who were convinced they were human? That’s you, baby, that’s what’s happening now. Tick, tick, people…and I don’t mean TikTok.
“Generative AI” is one of the industry-defining technologies of the “hi-tech world” in 2023, and the recent popularity of platforms such as ChatGPT and DALL-E has led to a seemingly non-stop cavalcade of new AI innovations. Smart text chatbots have become an integral medium of interaction between consumers and brands, and D-ID hopes to alleviate some of the frustration associated with that interaction.
One of the latest comes by way of generative AI platform developer D-ID, which launched a chat platform that will enable face-to-face conversations with an “AI Digital Human,” made possible by the company’s proprietary text-to-video tech.
While the technology could be applied in several ways, from creative to educational, D-ID expects that it will be best utilized by enterprises and developers, allowing them to create photo-realistic digital assistants who can interact with consumers in a more human, engaging, and effective way. These digital assistants can be used to improve customer support, sales, training, personal finance, and a host of other applications, and are likely to increase conversion and customer experience while lowering overall costs.
“Large language models like GPT-3 and LaMDA are changing the way we relate to and interact with technology, and we are not far off from all of us having our own personalized AI assistants and companions. We are making tech more human by giving it a face and making the interaction more natural. I am very proud of D-ID, which continues to be at the cutting edge of the emergent generative AI industry” said Gil Perry, CEO and co-founder of D-ID.
There is currently buzz among experts regarding the ethical development of AI. As generative AI becomes more prevalent among consumers and businesses alike with each passing day, the need for its increased transparency becomes more relevant. You are now the “Obsolete Man.”
The name of this episode is “The Obsolete Man”, and what makes him tick is two things. One, he’s a human living in the time of technology, and two, he’s a Bible believer who reads the word and trusts in God. Do you really need a long explanation about this, or do you just get it? I really hope you do.
Of course, if you have a Bible, this little “newsflash” we’re bringing you today is approximately 2,000 years old. “The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.” (Revelation 13:15)
