📽️ Luma Labs launches Dream Machine 1.5

Luma Labs just launched Dream Machine 1.5, a major upgrade to their current AI video generation model 🔥. This upgrade enhances the model’s ability to produce high-quality, realistic 5-second video clips from text and image prompts, featuring improved natural language processing and smoother motion.

We're intrigued to see how it can transform static ideas into dynamic stories with impressive cinematography 👀. We shall see with time! You can read more about it here.

🤖 "AI is not our future"

Procreate is standing firm against generative AI, reinforcing that creativity should be a uniquely human experience, not automated. They’re prioritizing artists' privacy and ownership, rejecting AI-driven content creation that could dilute genuine human artistry. And honestly, we respect this stance. For all our creators & designers, what are your thoughts on this?
