I was fooled. The model release announcement said it could accept video and audio multi-modal input. I understood that there was a lot of editing and cutting, but I really believed I was looking at an example of video and audio input. I was completely impressed since it’s quite a leap to go from text and still images to “eyes and ears.” There’s even the segment where instruments are drown and music was generated. I thought I was looking at a model that could generate music based on language prompts, as we have seen specialized models do.
This was all fake. You are taking a collection of cherry picked prompt engineered examples, then dramatizing them for maximum shareholder hype. The music example was just outputting a description of a song, not the generated music we heard in the video.
It’s one thing to release a hype video with what-ifs and quite another to claim that your new multi-modal model is king of the hill then game all the benchmarks and fake all the demos.
Google seems to be in an evil phase. OpenAI and MS must be quite pleased with themselves.
