"Google's Dystopian VLOGGER AI: Turning Still Images into Creepy Talking Videos"

Google researchers have developed an AI model called Vlogger that can transform a single still image of a person into a realistic moving, talking avatar, raising concerns about potential misuse for creating deepfake videos. The model, which requires only one image and an audio clip as inputs, aims to enhance online communication and creative processes. While the AI animations currently exhibit an inhuman edge, they are trained on a vast dataset and have the potential to become more convincing.
