I tried TikKs new AI videoogenerator. It's all types of faulty

AI is entering a new area of ​​social media. TIIKTOK announced the new feature AI Alive on Tuesday, with which the Creator can encourage photos for TikK stories with generative AI in short video clips. The function is over in the USA this week.

My experience with AI Alive was a mixed bag. When I tried it for the first time, it took almost 5 minutes to generate a video, and for two minutes it always said that there were only 10 seconds left. The results ranged from a short time to almost terrible. Tikkok also seemed to be struggling with object time.

These are a few of the videos that I made with the new Tikok function. In the first I wanted to add a dog to my picture of Sunny Tybee Island in Georgia, but Tiktok took the bike and decided to let the dog fly out of nowhere instead of using my guideline in the request to run the dog on the floor.

In another video, AI replaced existing elements that were unsolicited. My original poster of a ram became a horror scene, with the now fairly creepy-looking animal, which had just instructed the jump-ego side to animate the existing rare and jump from the poster. And I don't know why TikK's feature ultimately decided to replace the original poster with strange AI Gibberish. That was unsolicited, and the last framework of the video reminds me of an advertisement for a scary clown film.

There were many strange disturbances during my tests. I think I could have repaired some of these errors with edited inputs, but you only get five attempts a day, a disappointingly low limit.

The AI ​​video model that started the new function was created by Tiktok, with certain elements supported by open source technology. In view of the TIKTOK, it is primarily a social media company, no AI developer, it makes sense that it uses some open source AI technology.

Tikoks Ki-Alive videos are automatically added to a label in which you describe that you are with AI generated, and as part of Tiklok's partnership with the coalition for content production and authenticity (C2PA), similar markers are embedded in the metadata of the videos.

Although the feature itself is several, this announcement tells us what Tiktok presents as a future with AI. Many social media platforms have gone through a AI revision in recent years, no more than Instagram and Facebook with Meta AI. Tiktok has launched some AI functions, including avatars for professional creators and AI tools behind the scenes for marketers. However, this is the first general and widespread AI function. It could mark the beginning of TikKs Ki -era.

For a company that has been drawn in data protection concerns for years and has used federal legislation, a case of the Supreme Court and several presidential stays to keep the app in the USA online, Tikk's decision to enter the AI ​​is remarkable. Generative AI has their own countless data protection concerns, and for image and video generators, people often ask questions about the formation of models and how to process the data of the users. The data protection guideline from TIKTOK does not contain a dedicated AI section, but it means that TikTok can use information that you give it to “develop the platform and carry out product development” that could include AI models.

I struggle to imagine a significant application for this function for TikK creators, but it is probably worthwhile to play around to see if it could work for them. If you want to try it out, you can get going:

How to encourage your TikTok photos with AI

1. Open TikKok and navigate to your profile. Tap your profile picture on the Blue Plus sign.

2. Up a photo or take a new picture with the camera.

3. Tap on AI on the left menu. It is located under the text option via stickers.

4. Write your request. Choose one of the Tikok suggestions for the best results.

5. End the editing of your video as you want.

6. Publish your story or save them in your camera role.

Writing a good AI prompt is the key to success. This applies to all AI image and video explanets, but Tikks AI seems to be particularly sensitive to my tests. If you write your request, set the most important elements at the beginning. You can find more tips in our complete guide for writing effective AI image requests.
