AI Art Weekly #34

Hello there my fellow dreamers and welcome to issue #34 of AI Art Weekly! 👋

This issue is packed! And apart from compiling this weeks announcements I’ve been quite busy tinkering with how to create engaging shorts for the news segment of this newsletter. I had one requirement: The production of a video shouldn’t take longer than 10 minutes. Luckily Today’s AI models are perfectly capable of assisting with this task. So I wrote a quick Ruby script that turns the news segment below into a voiced Final Cut Pro project so I can put my final touches on it. Something was missing though: Shorts and TikTok videos perform way better with captions. There are paid options like Descript that can do this very well already, but I didn’t want the overhead of having to click through yet another UI (remember, the 10 minutes max requirement). Two days and countless trial & errors later I finally found a solution. I plan to release short summaries from now on YouTube and TikTok. Enjoy this weeks newsletter ✌️
