5 different tools that
leverage artificial intelligence
in some truly incredible ways.
Here for instance, I can
change my voice in real time.
I can also highlight an area of a photo and
I can make that just automatically disappear.
Uh, where did my son go? I can also give theآ
computer instructions like, I don't know, write
a song for the Kevin Cookie Company. Wow, that's
actually pretty good. Would it be asking tooآ
much to also have the computer sing it to me. The
Kevin Cookie Company, bringing joy to you and me.
Those are just a few of the examples that we're
going to look at today. Let's check these out.
The first tool that we're going to look at is
called VoiceMod, and this allows you to change
your voice in real time. You can download the tool
up above or also down below in the description.
They have voice actors record all sorts of text
and then they train models based on that. Then you
speak into a microphone, and they'll convert your
voice in real time into the actor’s voice. Once
you finish downloading and installing VoiceMod,
you'll land in an interface that looks like this.
Up in the top left-hand corner, let's click onآ
voice box and here you see all of the different
voices that are available in VoiceMod, and
you have lots and lots of different voices.
Currently all of the AI voices are in beta, soآ
this is where they had an actor train a model.
Let's test some of these out.
Here I'll click on the narrator.
The Kevin Cookie Company has
the best cookies in the world.
When you have an authoritative voice
like that say it, it must be true.
Let's test out some of these other
voices. Here I'll click on the pilot.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your pilot
speaking, just a quick heads up that the flight
crew will soon be deliveringآ
nice freshly baked cookies.
Over on the right-hand side, here
you can also choose the character,
so the pilot has Michael. You couldآ
also use a female voice with Ellen,
so you could customize who the character
is. Let's test out one more voice. Here
I'll select Alice. Be sure to finish
eating all of your cookies, kids.
You could really just spend all day playing
around with all these different fun voices.
Next, we're going to look at how you can removeآ
objects from photos using something calledآ
cleanup.pictures. Here I am on the websiteآ
cleanup.pictures and here you simply drag in
a photo where you would like to remove an object.
Here I'll drag in a photo of my son standing on a
mountain of snow. Now for free, you could continue
with an SD version, or you could also pay if you
want to work with an HD version. For this, I'll
continue with SD. Here I can now see a close up
of my son standing on this mountain of snow. Down
below, I have my brush size selected and all I
need to do is simply highlight my son. Here I'll
highlight his entire body, and once I'm all done,
I'll release my mouse, and now the AI is doing
its magic. And look at that! He has completely
disappeared from the photo, and it even recreated
some of the background behind him. Up in the top
right-hand corner, you can click on this toggle
to toggle it to the original or here I can go
back to the version where it's removed him from
the photo. It's actually pretty incredible.
Now there are a few issues with shadows
and whatnot, but overall, this is pretty
impressive for such a short amount of time. It
sure beats using the clone tool in Photoshop.
The next app that we're going to look at is calledآ
CapCut, and it's a free video editing program thatآ آ
infuses AI throughout the entire experience. Youآ
can remove the background with just a click of aآ آ
mouse. You can even enhance the way you look.آ
Those are just a few of the features. Let'sآ آ
take a look. To get the CapCut video editing app,آ
head to the website capcut.com. On the website,آ آ
you can use CapCut in your web browser or you canآ
also download it for Windows or Mac. For the mostآ آ
functionality, I would recommend downloading andآ
installing the app. It's completely free to do.آ آ
Once you finish installing CapCut and you launchآ
a new project, you'll land in this interface, andآ آ
the first thing you need to do is drag some typeآ
of media in. Here I'll drag in a video of myself,آ آ
and then I'll drag it down here onto the timelineآ
and let me go into the middle of the video file.آ آ
To remove the background, here I'll make sureآ
this clip is selected, and in the top right-handآ آ
corner, I'll click on video, and then cutout,
and here's the option that says auto cutout.
I'll click on this and right now it's processing
the video. This is where all of that magic AI
work is happening, and check that out. It
has successfully removed the background,
and that's without a green screen. The AI detects
me, and it separates it from the background. Now,
one thing that's really neat, here I can pull in
a picture. So, here a nice picture of an office.
I'll take my video on the timeline and I'll move
it up to a higher layer and here I can pull the
picture in. I'll place it on the lower layer and
here I'll drag it so it's the same length as my
video. And now when I play it, look at this.
It looks like I'm in a completely different
location. Here I'll pull these handles just so the
picture takes up the full frame and look at that.
Once again, no green screen at all. That's pretty
impressive. Along with removing the background,
CapCut has some other very impressive AI
capabilities. Here I'll select my clip, and in
the top right-hand corner let's click on enhance.
Here I can use AI to identify where my face is and
here CapCut places a rectangle around my face, and
I can target different improvements. For example,
maybe I give myself smoother skin. Or maybe I want
to brighten up my face. Or maybe even give myself
whiter teeth. I could do this with other parts of
my face. I could adjust things like my chin or how
long or short my face is. Down here, I could
also apply makeup and I could also adjust the
way my body looks. So, who needs plastic surgery
anymore? As long as people only see you in video,
you can make yourself look amazing. To watch even
more tips and tricks for using CapCut, be sure to
check out the video up above. Next, we're going
to look at OpenAI's text models. You can give the
computer some instructions and it’ll respond
to them, and it does a surprisingly good job.
Click on the link up above or down below
in the description. This drops us into
the OpenAI playground. Over on the left-hand
side, we see some getting started information,
and over on the right-hand side, you have various
parameters that you can configure. Right here you
can choose the AI model. Currently it's set to the
text-davinci-003. Right here in the center, we can
enter in instructions for this AI, and I've always
wanted a song about the Kevin Cookie Company, so
I'll type this in as the instruction and then down
below let's click on submit. And look at that,
we now have an official song for the Kevin Cookie
Company. Here I have a verse, and I'm not going
to sing it, but it does sound pretty good when
I sing it in my head, and down below, we also
have the chorus. This is really solid. This is all
fun and games, but at the Kevin Cookie Company, we
recently had poor financial results, so let's see
if the AI can help me with that. Here I'll type in
explain why the Kevin Cookie Company financial
results were below expectations, and then let's
click on submit. Wow. That's a pretty thorough
explanation. Due to a variety of factors, it could
include changes in the food industry, increased
competition, failed marketing strategies.
This is a pretty solid explanation. Now I really
wish I had a tool like this back when I was in
high school. Here, let me ask the question give
a good reason to my teacher for why I couldn't
finish my homework. Here, I'll click on submit
and let's see what it says. I apologize for not
finishing my homework. I had a family emergency
that took up a lot of my time and energy and I
was unable to finish it. You can't argue with
that, a family emergency. That's a really good
excuse. Down below, there's also a link for
ChatGPT, and with this you can interact back
and forth with the AI. Let's test this out.
Here on ChatGPT, down below, I can kick offآ
my conversation with the AI, so maybe I want to
know what are some good topics for YouTube videos,
and let's see what the AI says. Oh wow, thisآ
is a really thoughtful response. What are you
passionate about? What are your viewers interested
in? What type of content do you want to create?
Wow, coming from an AI, this is really a nice
and thoughtful response to this question,
and now if I want to, I could also
carry on the conversation down below.
Lastly, we're going to look at Microsoft Excel.
It's a program that pretty much everyone knows,
and Microsoft has started infusing AI into the
product. You can put in some data and Excel will
automatically analyze it for you, and also comeآ
up with insights that maybe you wouldn't have
thought of on your own. Here I am in Microsoftآ
Excel, and I have all of this sales data for
the Kevin Cookie Company, and I'm on point to
analyze it, but I have no idea where to start.
Luckily, I could just rely on my computer
and some AI. In the top left-hand corner,
let's click on the home tab, and all the way
over on the right-hand side of the ribbon,
let's click on analyze data. This now opens up
a pane over on the right-hand side that helps me
with analyzing my data. Now instead of me going in
and getting my hands dirty and doing the analysis,
here I could simply ask Excel about my data. For
example, what was the, let's say, total revenue?
And when I typed that in here, I see that weآ
earned just under $5 million. OK, that's pretty
cool, but now check this out. Down below, Excel
also comes up with automatic insights on my data.
Here I see some interesting views, and as
I go down, here this is an interesting one.
Product chocolate chip has noticeably higher
revenue than all the other types. Look at that,
and here I can even insert a pivot chart. Downآ
below, I can also click on show all 18 results.
This shows me even more insights about my
data and there are all sorts of different
interesting things that I probably wouldn't have
thought of on my own. If you use Google Sheets,
you'll also find similar functionality there. In
Google Sheets in the bottom right-hand corner,
click on this button that says explore.
Here too, you could also ask questions
about the data and down below we see all
different types of insights from your data,
so well worth checking out whether you use Excel
or Google Sheets. All right, well this is just
scratching the surface on all of the different
products that are starting to incorporate AI.
Let me know down below in the comments if
you have any other awesome examples. To
