The increasingly amazing videos created by artificial intelligence

It happens more and more often, videos so realistic that they seem real and that are instead the result of generative artificial intelligence. Videos that in many cases become viral like that of a fresh-faced girl who wanders around Rome. “5 minutes ago I was just the text of a prompt and now look, I'm here in Rome,” says a smiling girl in the video.

But what is the prompt? It is a written instruction that we give to generative intelligence programs to create increasingly realistic videos, and now also audio. Among the latest Apps that can be found on the market (it has not yet arrived in Italy) there is a Google software capable of creating increasingly sophisticated videos with cinematic characters and settings. In 2023, the one who made a splash was Aitana Lopez, the first influencer model created by artificial intelligence followed by hundreds of thousands of followers, who earned up to 10,000 dollars a month.

New technologies are blurring the lines between artificial intelligence and reality, and the consequences for our lives are yet to be discovered.
