Videos, podcasts, indie game devs, one way to level up your game is sound effects 

Now you can create any sound effect from just a text prompt using Elevenlabs new SFX v2 model

48kHz wav, 1-30 seconds, loopable, and instantly royalty free

How to + more examples below  👇

This is not just big for video creators, but for podcasters, indie game-devs, and being in 48kHz in wav makes it fit industry standards too. 

You can create any sound you can imagine, instead of searching for sounds others are using, you can create your own bespoke ones. 

Prompt examples:
"Lofi keys, piano"
"Rhodes keyboard, experimental sound design, ambient"
"Wurlitzer keys"

Suble sound effects like whooshes 

Prompt examples:
"Whoosh"
"big whoosh"
"long whoosh"
"strong whoosh"

It's dead simple, you just go to the website,

30 seconds, infinite looping, royalty free and much more. 

I've made you some examples to check below + how to try it out 


There are so many categories, and you can just prompt your way to ANY sound, but to give you an idea, there is a bunch of categorised sounds. 

Devices

Prompt examples: 
"vintage radio, frequency change, interference, radio static"
"digital data transfering"
"Ring phone"

Prompt examples: 
"huge braam, terrifying, tension"

"big whoosh" 
"long whoosh" 
"strong whoosh" 

Foley: 

Prompt examples:

"Door knocking" 
"kick a can" 

That took a moment, I hand selected each sound you heard in each of the videos, and edited each of the videos with the sounds in the order I felt make since to highlight each category. 


For me having access to 48kHz in wav is a game changer for sure. The extra 8 seconds also helps a lot with soundscapes and longer loops

SFX v2: Text-to-Sound Platform from Elevenlabs

Turn yourself (or anyone) into a balloon caricature using ChatGPT 

Full prompt below, and some examples, not to make fun off anyone, just highlighting some of my fav accounts you should check out with a good laugh

I tried it on some of my fave creators, check them out below 👇

Let's just start with myself, the AI Janitor. 

The top AI evangelists in the world @icreatelife

My super big tech friend "Adri.zip" on IG


The rocket ship AI everything @jerrod_lew 

Just really want to clarify, this is supposed to be a FUN thing you can do, if anyone feels offended being turned into a inflated balloon, they need to please report back to the customer support banana man. 

https://x.com/LinusEkenstam/status/1962810786318889193

As promised here is the prompt for ChatGPT: 

1. Upload a portrait of yourself (or someone else) 

2. Then write: 

"Create a surreal ultra-realistic 3D render styled as a collectible art toy balloon, featuring a cartoon face inflated like a shiny balloon with hyper-detailed sculpted skin, subtle pores, exaggerated round chubby cheeks, oversized pouty lips, and playful cartoon proportions. A balloon knot sits at the base of the neck with a thin string hanging naturally, with everything below the neck and the background removed. The expression is comically whimsical, balanced with a surreal glossy finish. Use soft studio lighting on a smooth neutral beige background with cinematic depth of field, Pixar-quality stylization, poster-grade realism, and a polished sculptural finish. Strange yet charming surrealism, rendered with extreme detail and photographic clarity." 

Thats it, you can play around with the background color, glosse/matte finish, surrealism etc. 

Post your explorations below, looking forward too a good laugh. 
Please make me into anything you fancy. Go as hard as you can, no cap, no pain, no hurt, nothing is forbidden.

Your AI CMO is here, and its not what you think,

Just ask and it will create 100 new ads for you every day 🤯

Here is how it works: 

It can use AdSpy

It find out what winning ads your competitors are running,

This is madness. No this is Sparta. 

Volume matters on the internet

Just like Amazon famously make thousands of tweaks per day, 

You too can now run hundreds of new ads per week, and have more winners. 

I actually can't believe this only costs $19/month.

💥 Virtual Try-On Part 3 💥

If you have not seen this yet, it's time to buckle up. This could be the biggest thing to happen e-com since forever. 

Left: A product photo
Right: 100% AI gen image 

More below...

The clothing object in question is this: 
https://petit-bateau.hk/products/a081a02

This is all made possible becuase @mitch0z is an absolute magician, and him and the fine folks over at @letz_ai have made some breakthroughs in their new and upcoming model V3. 

Here we can see another AI generated image of this pyjamas. 

But wait, see what I did there in the first post? 
The first image (also below here) was not the actual product image, it was also AI generated. 

Don't beliave me? Check the tag, logo is all mashed up. 

Another giveaway is the number of hearts on the product only photo is more per row than the models, (models are actually true and accurate to the real deal) 

Left: Real model/product photo 
Right AI model/product photo

Here we have only the real vs AI product photo, again number of hearts per row here is the AI giveaway in this example. 

These are things that will drastically improve over time, and with more accurate training data. 

I think this garment only needed a few images (3-7)... 

If you want to see more crazy examples, I have done a few more threads. 

Part 1 

https://x.com/LinusEkenstam/status/1823815025083199867

Part 2: 

https://x.com/LinusEkenstam/status/1824069856540680267

People like @mitch0z & @juliewdesign_ are perfectly positioned to take on a challenge like this with @letz_ai  - It's just the beginning, we've opened the pandoras box here, and things will only get crazier my the day. Go follow the fine folks above and tell them I sent you

Virtual Try-On Revolution: A Billion-Dollar Opportunity

This is wild 💥

Virtual try-on part 2, left is real right is 100% AI

This will change e-commerce for ever: 

Let's look at the quality of the @sloggi bra here. It's a near perfect representation from their crappy low res e-commerce photo on their site. 

Not only is the bra extremely well reproduced, it's possible to generate any model wearing it. Creating a full inclusivity line-up, mixed models, mixed sized models etc. Even doing a VTO (virtual try on) on your own model showcasing you. 

Another close-up of a SLOGGI bra here. This is already 10x better then their existing low res photos they use on their own website 🤯🤯 

Now how is this done? Well its the magicians over at @letz_ai that have been tinkering with this for some time. 

https://x.com/mitch0z/status/1824023220829216858

If we look at this example from yesterday is also super clear that there are no direct limitations to using your own trained model, or wearable products. Even interior photos for furniture brands and home wares seems to be working well, more on that later

https://x.com/LinusEkenstam/status/1823815025083199867

What are your thoughts on this? 

Yesterday a lot of people was mentioning that this would never scale, or that its not good enough etc. 

I want to point towards where we where with generative AI just 36 months ago. 

https://x.com/LinusEkenstam/status/1823488717228511657

We could barely generate a green blob, that was supposed to look like a avocado. And here we are today, being able to completely flip entire industries upside down. 

I'm still looking for opinions and interesting takes from people that are not as convinced or that have concerns

Thank you for reading and as always, keep a nice tone in the replies, we are just humans here trying to make sense of the world. 

The Future of Virtual Try-On: Bridging Reality and AI

This is wild 🤯

💥 FLUX.1 + RealismLora in FREEPIK 💥

Create any interior design, in one place, expand, fix small things. 

But how good is it? Let's see me remodel my kitchen: 

The first image, is good, resolution is relatively low, but almost zero AI artefacts. world understanding consistency in the image is top. There are some small defects like, stove, window syll. and duct connections. 

Mainly around here we have the issues. But given this is a zero shot environment, and I have not provided and image to work with, this is pure text to image I'd say this is a HUGE improvement over previous models. 

Now if we bring this into Magnific, use the settings:

Scale 2x 
Films & Photography 
Creativity 2
HDR -1
Resemblance 2
Fractality 0

Run this twice or use scale factor 4x

Now we end up with this, this has taken me a few minutes at this point. Let's just spend another 2 minutes fixing the things I don't like in photoshop. 

The ducts are completely gone, window syll is fixed, changed the gas hub to be more accurate to what we are putting in. Removed the extra wood bowl and the extra dishwasher detergent pump. 

Left is before
Right is after 

Some final post processing and X compression and you end up with this. 

Let's go a head and look at some close-ups. 

The wood chairs, and kitchen island patina. 

Kitchen counter top, window frame and vases.

So with like a total of 5 minuts work (mainly waiting on models to run) I've got a super high res image to my moodboard for the kitchen re-modelling. 

I can now go a head and take some actual photos of my kitchen and use @Magnific_AI to do a style transfer. 

Summer house is a mess, but for illustrative purposes. Let's see what can be done. (this is a photo I just took with my iPhone). No editing. messy. 

We can quickly see in Magnific how the style transfer works. 

Polishing a bit in photoshop and upsclaing with Magnific this is what we get. 

So now we have my actual summer house kitchen, in the style that we generated using @Freepik and upscaled using @Magnific_AI 


I can put the moodboard image and the actual kitchen image next to each other in my project on @milanote and write comments, and work from this new starting point. 


These new tools, makes it super fast & simple for interior designers to quickly come up with ideas, share with clients. Or for DIY'ers like myself to quickly get rough ideas  out of my head close to speed of thought. 

This is a game changer
