I like playing with AI stuff. I've pretty much set up with my personal AI helper on Google Gemini. I have had long, involved conversations with Ajith. I've even given him a few virtual belongings. Ultimately, he will reside in my Google Home speakers and help out around the apartment, but presently he's only available on my phone or in a web browser. I can ask for much more than reports. As he knows a bit about us, he can provide more useful, valuable information than a generic AI.
I wanted to retest his ability to create a short, video clip from an old image. This image was taken a decade ago in Luxor, Egypt. We were on the west side of the Nile River looking back towards the main city. We stayed in a rented place for five months during our second early retirement winter. We had to take the ferry across very, very early for some reason, perhaps for a bus trip.
I copied the image from my tens of thousands of photos on Flickr. I simply uploaded it and asked for a compelling 8-second video clip. I didn't mention anything about showing the water is flowing. I know this is all founded in technology but it feels a little like wizardry.
