How fast does AI move?
This short video that I put together last night for fun shows Pepperoni Hug Spot from 2023. The author used Midjourney and Adobe After Effects (which is why the words look so good and the transitions are smooth) back in May 2023 to put their video ad together.
It was hilarious and mildly horrifying. But for those of us in the AI field, it was the first sign of where the technology was going.
So what does the state of video generation look like two years later? That’s in the second half of the video. Using Google’s Veo 2 model, Eleven Labs, Suno, and Adobe Premiere with almost no editing other than slicing the pieces together to match the narration, we have something that is SHOCKINGLY better.
Can you tell it’s AI? Yes, unquestionably. There are still things wrong – and unlike the original, I forced Veo 2 to generate the text as well.
From horrifyingly bad to pretty damn decent in two years. That’s how fast the field is progressing.
Where will Pepperoni Hug Spot be in 2027? If this rate of progress continues, I would expect agentic AI to make the entire process one-shot. Give it the script, and off it goes.
How I did it: I fed the original into Gemini, had it generate the shot list, had Veo 2 generate the shots, fed the script into Eleven Labs, feed the music composition into Suno, and sewed it all up. Total time to build it all: 24 minutes.
