I wanted to have a little fun with the recent good news about the CT economy, so I created the below meme. I used chatgpt to explore what meme's I might use, and at its recommendation used heygen.com to create a fake newscast. While I continue to not endorse any products or services, the experience was eye opening. I described what I wanted to create, including script, timing, and overall content. It created exactly what I was looking for including an anchor . And then when I wanted to adjust elements, it dynamically re-created perfectly. It even created the above image for this post.
It's still pretty obvious this is AI and not a real newscast, although I did make it clear that it was AI as I don't want to confuse anyone or appear to be suggesting otherwise. But it's a glimpse of what is to come.
