Video Description

AI avatars have seriously leveled up, leading to that classic question: am I real, or am I an AI avatar? Spoilers... five fingers mean I'm real! But today, we're diving into the latest in AI avatar generation – and trust me, it's pretty wild. Plus, I've got a spot where you can try some of this magic out for FREE! In this video, I'm checking out some mind-blowing new AI tools and updates. We'll explore how Black Forest Labs' "Kontext" is shaking things up with Flux news, take a peek at Topaz's new creative AI image upscaler which I'm super excited about, and even see how Sora is now kinda... sorta... free (with an asterisk, of course!). It’s a packed one! And again, BIG thanks to Leonardo for Sponsoring Today's Video! https://app.leonardo.ai/?via=tim Here’s what I’m covering today: 00:00 - Intro: Real or AI Avatar? 00:18 - What's New in AI? (Big Updates!) 01:00 - AI Avatars Get a Major Upgrade: HeyJen, Hunan & The Impressive Mirage Studios! 01:27 - Hands-On: Trying Out Mirage Studios AI Avatars (Yes, There's a Free Trial!) 02:19 - Mirage Deep Dive: Uploading Audio, AI Voices & My First Avatar Test 03:06 - The Nitty-Gritty of Mirage: Those Tricky Sliders & Generating My Digital Twin! 03:37 - First Test 04:05- Second Test 04:35 - Third Test 04:45 - Fourth Test 05:06- Fifth Test 05:33 - My Thoughts on Mirage: The Good, The Jump Cuts & Let's Talk Price 06:33 - Exploring Black Forest Labs' "Context" on Leonardo.ai (Sponsored Segment!) 07:14 - Editing Like a Pro with Context & Flux: Changing Backgrounds, Adding Elements & More! 07:32- Man in a Blue Business Suit 08:19 - What I'm Most Impressed With 08:51 - Our Gal! 09:26 - Lights on, Lights Off! 10:16 - Even More Leonardo.ai Power: Checking Out Their Upscaler & Video Generation Tools 10:39 - Motion Controls 11:10 - Motion and Kontext and an Old School Mac 11:48 - Topaz Bloom Enters the Ring: A Look at Their New Creative AI Image Upscaling (Beta Access) 12:34 - Testing Bloom 13:22 - Test 2 14:06 - Our Gal...again! 15:31 - Is It Perfect? You know the answer! 16:29 - Wait, Sora is "Free" Now? Here’s the Catch & How You Can Try It! I was genuinely impressed by some of these tools, especially how you can now try out an AI avatar generator like Mirage Studios from Captions for free to make content for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or Instagram Reels! We'll also see how Leonardo.ai is integrating the powerful "Context" editor, allowing for some insane image manipulation like changing time of day or adding characters seamlessly. And I can't forget Topaz Bloom, which takes image upscaling to a whole new creative level. If you're into AI, content creation, or just love seeing what's next in tech, you don't want to miss this one! 👇 LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED: 👇 Try Mirage Studios (from Captions): https://mirage.app/ Check out Leonardo.ai (Thanks for sponsoring!): https://app.leonardo.ai/?via=tim Explore Topaz Bloom (Beta may still be open!): https://topazlabs.com/ref/2518/ Try Sora via Bing Create: www.bing.com/create ✨ WHAT TO DO NEXT: ✨ 👍 Like this video if you found it helpful or entertaining! 💬 Comment below: Which AI tool are you most excited to try? 🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you don’t miss out on more AI adventures! 🔗 Share this video with a friend who needs to see these crazy AI updates!
