As the tech world waits with bated breath for AI videos to explode and upend everything we see online, a free AI video generator has arrived.
Luma AI has launched its AI video generator, Dream Machine, and users can sign up immediately and start creating videos from text prompts or still images.
Petapixel We were able to generate a five-second clip of a wildlife photographer documenting animals in Africa, and while it's far from perfect (it generated a zebra with two heads), it's a harbinger of future technology, and generative AI tools need a lot of tweaking to work properly.
Even more impressive are the online clips that bring various memes and pop culture moments to life.
AI brings memes to life.
Luma AI dream machine becomes a meme machine 😂

One thing that has been missing in AI-generated videos until now has been emotional expression for Gen AI characters.

Who is Luma AI?
according to MashableLuma AI is a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence startup that has previously released a 3D model generator called Genie.
The company has decided to release Dream Machine as a free-for-all model, with plans to open up the API in the future, whereas OpenAI's yet-to-be-released Sora will likely require a fee.
To test out the Dream Machine, users must sign in with a Google account, and Luma AI only allows 10 free video generation per day.
last week, Petapixel We reported that a Chinese AI video generator called Kling has shown good results, but is only accessible within China and only via a waiting list.
