Google Rolls Out Its Gemini AI-powered Video Presentation App 6

Google is generally rolling out its Gemini AI-powered Vids app that lets you create video presentations using a prompt. From a report: Some of Vids' key features include letting Gemini auto-insert stock footage for you, generating a script, and making AI voiceovers so you don't have to speak. Google advertises that the tool can help turn customer support articles into videos, make training videos, share company announcements, create meeting recaps, and more. Vids will be available by default for Workspace organizations with access, but Google notes possible usage limits may apply to features like "Help me create" and AI voiceovers starting in 2026.

    One of the joys of being retired is never having to sit through another boring PowerPoint session again.

    But for the benefit of those people who do have to suffer them, I'd like to see an AI development that "attends" a presentation and summarises the bloviating waffle (slides and voice) back down to a few key points.

  • Instead of working on useful ideas, the AI companies continue to make crap generators.
    In the past, it took a bit of effort to generate crap, now it will be faster and easier.
    Welcome to the crapiverse, where we consume countless gigawatts of power to make increasingly annoying and useless crap.
    I remember a tile, long ago, when I was optimistic about the future

  • If you have the 'prompt' for the video and either lack the interest or the ability to actually add anything; why would you destroy something that at least has the virtue of being succinct by blowing it into a meandering video?

    Text-to-speech, at least, has use cases for limited screens, drivers, the visually impaired, and the illiterate; but dragging stock video slurry into it?

The clash of ideas is the sound of freedom.
