Google tests out Gemini AI-created video presentations (www.theverge.com)

Google is launching its new Vids productivity app in Workspace Labs with the idea that “if you can make a slide, you can make a video in Vids.” Announced in April, Vids allows users to drop docs, slides, voiceovers, and video recordings into a timeline to create a presentation video to share with coworkers. Making it available in the Workspace Labs preview allows Workspace admins to opt in users to try out the AI-powered video maker.

While you can generate video in Vids, it’s not to be confused with AI tools like OpenAI’s Sora, which can create lifelike footage from a prompt. Instead, Vids is about generating a presentation by describing what you want Gemini to create and then letting you alter the video afterward.

I am so, so sick of hearing about AI, and Gemini in particular, with their annoying commercials that are fucking everywhere...

EDIT: Folks, I'm tech-literate and not oblivious. I have Firefox/U-block Origin on all 7 OS/devices. But I currently use a Roku in the living room.

This is one of those moments, where I have been living with ad blockers and network filters for over a decade, where I asked myself "the fuck are they talking about" before I realized.

I don't use ad blockers and I have no idea what they're talking about, either

It’s ironic but this response was generated by AI:

I can understand how constant exposure to something can become tiring. It's important to take breaks from things that annoy you and focus on other interests. AI and Gemini may be popular topics now, but they won't dominate the conversation forever. Just know that it's okay to feel overwhelmed and it's completely normal to have those feelings.

I know this is not what you’re comment is about, but have you heard of our lord and savior Ublock origin?
