Musk Revives Vine, Announces AI-Powered Video Platform
Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter), announced he is bringing back Vine, a video-sharing app.
Vine, which let users share very short videos, was popular years ago but was shut down in 2016.
This time, Vine will use AI to create the videos.
The exact details of how the AI will work are still unknown.
The return of Vine in AI form could change how we create and watch short videos online.
The six-second video format might be perfect for AI since AI video tools often create short clips.
