Opus 5.5 makes an 11-minute AI-themed mini documentary in one try
A creator with no coding background used Opus 5.5 to make the roughly 11-minute mini documentary "Born in 2026" from a single prompt, following a girl at ages 10 and 20 in two futures where AI went well and where it did not.
Hi, long time no see. You have probably noticed that I have become very into AI and spend a lot of time on it, and have done that for a while. The learning curve is steep, and I'm having a lot of fun. For me it has been a lot of back and forth with testing. Making macOS apps, Electron apps, web applications, games, and yesterday I tested making videos. I can't say anything else than that I get just as surprised every single time by the results I see, and just as surprised I was when I saw how good Opus 5.5 was at making video. Here is an example of a mini documentary I made: "Born in 2026: The Two Futures of AI" (ca. 11 min). It follows a girl who is born today, until she is 10 years (2036) and 20 years (2046), in two versions of the world: one where AI went well, and one where it did not. All made by opus 5.5 Obviously not as good as someone who really knows this, and I have no idea what is actually good. But just straight out of the box I'm mega impressed. This was the first try after a quite detailed prompt. So I'm thinking: what is actually possible to make if you actually put yourself a bit into it and try even more? For me personally AI has been a way to be able to express my creativity. I have no coding experience etc. from before, so everything I have had to learn along the way. Which also has been fun. Started this journey like everyone else I guess, with a small Dunning-Kruger effect: that now I could do it and was just as good as everyone else, which I obviously am not. But I have come quite far, and I'm looking forward to see how much better I can become. Very fun I'm having it anyway! Would be fun to hear what you think about the video.
