The best way to learn a new technology is to make something with it. I signed up for a , sponsored by RunwayML, Coca Cola and YouTube, and I created a short movie in 5 hours. These are the things I learned: 48 hour competition Good stuff I created a "movie" in 5 hours, and I spent while being an amateur in movie making. $50 For someone like me to create something without using AI would require at least $3k and 48 hours. At least. If someone more knowledgeable than me tried, they could have made a short movie that the non-AI equivalent would have cost at least $50k and one week of work. What I am trying to say is that the benefits are exponential once you start using AI Now, for the . bad news Bad stuff It is EXTREMELY difficult to create scenes with the same character.
