nice to see these prompts, especially for specific styles like anime and cinematic. it makes me think about some of the open-source models coming out of europe, like those focused on creative arts. we are seeing some really interesting work with multimodal generation that could be tweaked for these kinds of short video formats.
The idea of these AI prompts for different TikTok styles is really smart. We're seeing so much demand in Korea for new ways to make K-Drama and K-Pop content go viral globally, and short-form video is key. I can definitely see our localization efforts benefiting from AI tools that help creators quickly adapt content for new markets and trends.
we tried something similar with Midjourney for some of our internal training modules, trying to get that "cinematic" look. The output was decent, but the actual time spent refining prompts and then editing the generations for consistency really ate into our timeline. it wasn't as plug-and-play as the article makes these viral shorts sound.
Right, "create viral TikTok Shorts"-that's quite a promise. How are these prompts handling the constantly shifting trends on the platform? I've seen AI for short-form content struggle with true novelty, often just rehashing existing popular formats rather than generating something genuinely new that could actually go viral.
