Using AI to turn memes into GIFs is I Would Rather Kill Younow a thing, which is possibly the most mindfuck phrase you'll read today.

Thanks to Stable Video Diffusion (SVD), and other AI video tools, memes — a snapshot of reality pulled out of context — are further removed from reality by AI's interpretation of events.

What is SVD and what can it do?

Last week, Stability AI released Stable Video Diffusion, an image-to-video foundation model. Based on its AI image generation model, SVD can turn images into short animated clips. Naturally, the internet's first three was to apply SVD to memes. The end result is an AI-generated-meme-turned-GIF effectively splintering viral content into its own AI-driven multiverse.

Before Stability AI released Stable Video Diffusion, there were already generative AI video tools out there. Runway has text-to-video and video-to-video tools, but its free options are limited, and you have to sign up for a paid subscription to access more tools and credits. There's also Pika, an AI video-editing platform that launched on Tuesday with a waitlist to sign up. But Stability AI's Stable Video Diffusion is free to use and open-source accessible through its GitHub repository.

Stability AI explicitly states that use of its SVD model can only be used for research purposes and not for commercial applications, which protects video generation using existing content from the increasingly murky issue of AI and copyright infringement laws.
