If the generation of images was key to start the generative AI revolution, the video generation has the potential to be the same, but on a much larger scale. The arrival of models such as Openai Sora demonstrate how advanced this technology is, but this is only the beginning; Soon, we will be able to generate videos directly on our smartphone.
And surprisingly, Google is not going to be the first to offer a smartphone with generation of videos with AI; although its technology is going to be responsible for it. Honor has confirmed that users of the next honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro will be the first to Preinstalled a function to create videos using artificial intelligence.
The new Honor 400 range was announced last week for Spain and the global market, and is composed of mid -range smartphones that have a powerful and complete ‘hardware’, especially compared to their Samsung and Google rivals. But the ‘hardware’ is not the only aspect in which they will stand out in front of the competition, and the company already advanced that it was going to include AI -based functions; Although initially, it was thought that he was referring only to functions that we had already seen, such as the improvement of photographs with AI.
The honor videos creation tool is based on I see 2, the new Google modeland allows you to create 5 second videos from a static photograph or image, in any format. The function is integrated directly into the Honor Gallery app, and is surprisingly simple, to the point that it does not allow IA instructions.
In The Verge have been able to prove this function, and the results are surprising, although also very variable in quality. As there is no way to configure the function, all we can do is press an image that we have saved on the mobile and press a button to turn into video; The result depends on what the AI has decided at that time, based on the subjects that appear in the photo and what they are doing.
For example, a photograph of a musician playing the guitar can result in a video in which he appears by moving our hands and mouth, as if we had recorded a video of the performance. On the other hand, in other cases it is evident that AI does not know very well what to do; The photograph of a van was turned into a video in which the vehicle spins on itself, instead of advancing on the road.
Although it is evident that this technology is still taking its first steps, the inclusion of a tool to create videos is A blow to the honor table; The rest of the manufacturers will have no choice but to include something similar in their next releases if they do not want to be left behind, and hence this announcement may be a second revolution in the sector.
