Tried Google's #Veo3 text-to-video generator with dialogue from my Wilfred (AI-fan) & Mortimer (AI-skeptic) ChatGPT characters. 8 seconds of pure uncanny valley!
Still obviously AI-generated if you look closely, but we definitely need "fake-spotting" in our AI literacy toolkit now.

Talking about creativity & AI earlier in the #LTHEChat - I made a video in #Sora. ""A Norwegian viking ship encountering a UFO in the middle of a calm ocean at midnight. The full moon is casting a mysterious light on the scene. The ship's crew is staring in wonder at the UFO. Cinematic style."

As it's Sunday - here is what I do if I get the TV for a bit (that's a big IF) 😂 Play video games and pretend to be a photographer using photomode.
