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
