Videos generated by Artificial Intelligence have come a long way in 2024. There are several well-known players in this area, including Synthesia, Runway, and Kling. Minimax threw its computer-generated hat into the ring in September 2024 with its Hailuo AI product, which generates 6-second videos based on a still image, a prompt, or both. Some of the results are still a little shaky. Items appear and disappear with scant regard for continuity, and characters may occasionally defy the laws of physics by passing a hand through a nearby tree or something. That said, the results are otherwise fairly impressive, and they show how fast this technology has progressed in just a few years. What used to take an animation studio months to create can be simulated in just a few minutes on your laptop or phone.
Examples of AI videos abound on social media sites like YouTube, and many users are embracing this new creative medium. However, you might have some reservations about rushing headlong into the uncanny valley of computer-generated video. Here, we'll discuss how Hailuo AI works and whether it's safe for you to use.
