TikTok’s future in the US might be uncertain, but the app keeps adding features for its fans. That is, if turning still images into fake videos with AI counts as TikTok getting better. I’m not the biggest fan of genAI tools that alter photos to the point where you end up with a completely different “memory,” especially when most AI-generated or AI-edited images aren’t clearly marked.
The same goes for making fake videos from still images, a newer AI trick that’s likely to catch on soon. A few days ago, Chinese smartphone maker Honor announced that its upcoming Honor 400 phones will feature an image-to-video AI feature built with Google’s Gemini AI.
TikTok’s new AI Alive feature is similar, with the key difference being that you control the output. Honor’s feature generates random videos from photos, while AI Alive lets you guide the result by entering a text prompt.
Google teaming up with Honor on this suggests Gemini might eventually support something similar. Until then, you can try AI Alive on TikTok to turn your photos into videos.
