Description

Come wax poetic with us about AI, ask your questions and play along. Join the conversation at https://community.thesalon.ai In a session packed with unexpected discoveries, Kyle Shannon reveals a significant, unannounced feature: a free, fully integrated version of Midjourney is now available within Meta AI. He walks through the platform at meta.ai, demonstrating how users can generate both images and videos using familiar Midjourney commands like style references (SREF), stylization, and weirdness sliders. The discovery, credited to a LinkedIn post by Rick McCaulay, sparks immediate excitement and confusion among the viewers, as Meta has made no major announcement about this powerful integration. The conversation explores why such a game-changing tool would be launched so quietly, with some viewers noting notifications that suggest it may be a limited-time offering. Beyond the tool itself, Kyle pivots to a deeper discussion on the importance of intentionality with AI, encouraging the audience to focus on their personal values and creative goals rather than getting lost in the technology. This "put yourself into the prompt" philosophy leads to a broader look at the AI landscape, from the rise of virtual artists and AI-driven record labels like Timberland's Stage Zero to the potential for AI in solving complex real-world problems. Producer Brandon shares a powerful example, detailing his use of AI to research novel therapeutic approaches for aphasia and contact a neuroscientist with the findings. The session highlights the dual nature of AI as both a revolutionary creative tool and a potential catalyst for significant scientific and humanitarian progress. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
