Detailed Instructions from the Video Transcript

Tools and APIs Used:

• OpenAI’s GPT models
• Pinecone DB (Vector Database)
• Puppeteer (Headless Browser)
• rey.so (Code Snippet Image Generation)
• Giphy API (Animated GIFs)
• 11 Labs API (Voice Cloning)

Steps to Create an AI-Generated Video:

1. Script Writing with GPT-4:
   • Input a video idea to GPT-4.
   • GPT-4 writes a video script.
2. Asset Generation:
   • Use Puppeteer to navigate to rey.so and generate PNG images for code snippets.
   • Use GPT-4 to identify people or logos in the script and return a link to an image on the internet.
   • Download the identified images and save them to the file system.
   • Use GPT-4 to determine search terms for the Giphy API.
   • Use the Giphy API with an API key to obtain animated GIFs.
3. Voice Narration:
   • Clone a voice using the 11 Labs API with about two and a half hours of recordings.
   • Loop over each script file and make an API call to 11 Labs to generate the voice.
   • Save the generated voice as a WAV file.
4. Video Editing:
   • Initially, attempt to use GPT-4 to write an ffmpeg script to edit the video.
   • Due to reliability issues, write custom code with fluent-ffmpeg.
   • Loop over the assets and combine them into a single video.

CLI Commands and Tips:

• Use Puppeteer for web scraping and automating browser tasks.
• Use the Giphy API to fetch relevant animated GIFs.
• Use fluent-ffmpeg for video editing and combining assets.

Additional Information:

• The video titled “Rust in 100 seconds” was generated entirely by AI.
• The video demonstrates the use of AI to create content that is indistinguishable from human-created content.

Important URLs:

• rey.so: For generating PNG images of code snippets.
• Giphy API: For fetching animated GIFs (exact URL not provided in the transcript).
• 11 Labs API: For voice cloning (exact URL not provided in the transcript).

Notes:

• The code has not been released publicly due to concerns about its impact on humanity.
• The quality of the AI-generated voice can still be improved.

Disclaimer:

• Some of the capabilities mentioned, such as cloning voices, may have legal implications.
• The creator of the video has expressed concerns about the potential impact of releasing the code on humanity.
