Bringing a Picture to Life with AI
I wanted to create a fun animated version of myself, so I combined a couple of different AI tools. First, I used Midjourney to generate a cartoon illustration of me based on a text description. The result was a cute, stylized portrait capturing my look and personality. Then, I recorded myself speaking and utilized D-ID technology to animate my AI art avatar with my own voice. The end result is a talking, animated version of me sharing my thoughts just as I would in a vlog or video. It’s not perfect, but the AI avatar mimics my facial expressions, lip movements, and other visual cues remarkably well for a few minutes of my time. Generating a personalized video avatar this easily would not have been possible even a few years ago. But with the rapid advancements in AI, all I needed was a little creativity and two user-friendly tools to bring a visualized version of myself to life. I’m excited to see how this tech evolves in the future. https://ai.jayecreates.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/aiavatarsample.mp4
