Using artificial intelligence to transform any picture into a singing video, the app has soared up the iOS and <keyword id="1470391" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Play-Store">Play Store</keyword> charts with over 2.2 million downloads and 15 million Wombo videos created."One can get in front of a camera and sing a song and do a funny or interesting or entertaining performance, but with AI, anyone can," CEO of Wombo.ai Ben-Zion Benkhin told Insider. "My whole goal with Wombo is to make it easy for anyone to make a hilarious, shareable, and entertaining piece of content of themselves."Benkhin spent the previous five years running a website design agency in Toronto before taking the leap and designing an app of his very own. He first got the idea for Wombo in August of last year, capitalizing on his affinity and love for artificial intelligence technology. With just seven people on staff, Wombo.Ai rolled out a beta in January before launching and immediately picking up steam with its odd creations. <h2>How does Wombo.ai work?</h2>Behind each song is a driving video that the developers make in their studio using motion capture. A performer executes a series of facial, eye, and lip movements along with the song. That motion is applied to a model that is then mapped with the images users submit. Using some "complicated math" that Benkhin does not "have the exact technical description of" the app processes the image and spits out a cute video or an abomination of cursed excellence. The app allows anyone to use any image, with a majority of the popular shares using copyrighted characters and songs. As of now, copyright holders haven't caused issues with the app, but Benkhin said "who the hell knows what's going to happen?" There are currently 15 different tracks you can use on the app, ranging from Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" to internet classics like "Numa Numa." According to Benkhin, they are still working on "the rights issue" but they do have "arrangements with a few different artists." Moving ahead, Benkhin hopes that musicians will want to bring their music over to the "because it'll give them an entirely new way to engage with their audience in a viral and funny way." <h2>Is Wombo.ai safe?</h2>According to the <a href="https://www.wombo.ai/privacy">app's privacy policy</a>, your "facial feature data" is only stored on the app to create the video and then "deleted immediately after." Data is relayed over to Amazon Web Services for "photo animation capabilities" and "product intelligence" for "behavioral analytics platform" Amplitude. Users can pay for a premium version of the app for $4.49 a month or $29.99 a year, giving them faster processing and no ads, or can use the app for free and get served ads. In the future, Wombo hopes to collaborate with musicians or advertisers who can benefit from the cross promotion. Wombo uses artificial intelligence to create a deepfake, or a reconfigured video close to reality. Deepfake technology has improved drastically over the years and has become accessible to regular people, albeit in a limited capacity.<a href="https://www.myheritage.com/deep-nostalgia"> MyHeritage,</a> an ancestry tracking service, released their Deep Nostalgia tool that allows users to animate pictures of deceased relatives and a visual effect artist went viral with a <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@deeptomcruise/video/6936178521114938630?is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v3p=v3">faux Tom Cruise</a>. "These deepfakes aren't going anywhere anytime soon," Benkhin notes. "Over time the public is going to warm up to it...I think we're only beginning to explore the applications of this technology." A deepfake can potentially cause harm, with unaware onlookers potentially confusing realstic enough looking fakes for the real thing. According to Benkhin, Wombo avoids that issue in two ways: the app creates an image that "looks realistic but doesn't look real" and the limited selection of songs only makes it so "the worst thing you can do is make someone sing." The future of Wombo is dependent on if the app can use this viral momentum to pivot from a gimmick or fad into something internet users consistently use. There are social plans for the app that will allow users to create custom profiles and share their faces with friends that can then be transformed. "It'll be a place to enjoy and discover new music," Benkhin said. "And overall, it'll be the app you go to when you want to laugh and smile."

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Wombo AI is an app that makes generative images of celebrities. </li><li>It's gone viral for making images of Donald Trump, Drake, and Travis Kelce — with pregnant bellies</li></ul>What is it about a slightly crummy AI-generated video of Donald Trump and Joe Biden discussing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thrashachusetts/video/7320025942007483690?lang=en">hardcore bands</a> that is incredibly hilarious, while <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple">Apple's</a> new AI forced-whimsy "Genmoji" just … isn't?The more advanced generative AI gets, somehow … the stupider stuff makes us laugh more. Interesting, no?Almost exactly a year ago, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/07/10/style/ai-memes-jokes.html">Max Read wrote</a> about how AI is good for "funposting" (I imagine this term started as something not appropriate for a family newspaper). Read looked at some of the early AI things that had delighted us: the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/viral-image-pope-francis-generated-by-ai-fooled-social-media-2023-3">pope in a puffer coat</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/watch-hilariously-bad-ai-modelscope-videos-will-smith-scarlett-johansson-2023-3">Will Smith eating spaghetti</a>. Those things were so amusing because they had the right placement on a matrix of human stupidity vs. machine intelligence: making the smart machine do something very stupid.These "high human stupidity/high machine intelligence" jokes are the sweet spot, although there is also room for "high human stupidity/low machine intelligence" jokes, too. The best recent example of this would be the bad Google AI search result answers that went viral, telling people to eat 1-2 rocks per day or put <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-ai-glue-pizza-i-tried-it-2024-5">glue in their pizza</a>.A year is a long time in AI, and I was curious if Read's analysis of what made for a funny AI joke had significantly changed. Will Smith eating spaghetti, for example, is no longer weird and uncanny — it actually looks decent now.The fact that generative AI is much "better" than a year ago, however, hasn't stopped AI from being funny. In fact, it's made it easier to do stupid, silly things.This explains why recently, my Instagram keeps serving me viral videos of pregnant male celebrities, like this: (I highly recommend you also play the video to listen to the AI-generated song.)<a target="_blank" href="https://www.wombo.ai/">Wombo AI</a> started in 2021 making consumer-facing apps that generated silly, memey, social media-ready images. Their current app, Celeb Shot (which will be renamed Wombo soon) specializes in letting you add your own face to various photos with celebrities, or doing other things like making you look like a baby or have huge muscles.Wombo's founder, Ben-Zion Benkhin, told me that they had stumbled into this new virality. He came across an image of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/severus-snape-interesting-things-from-harry-potter-trivia">Snape </a>pregnant and was inspired to try something new (male pregnancy, or "mpreg," in fan fiction is a fairly common trope — Snape in particular for some reason). "We're always experimenting with shit and trying to make stuff go viral," Benkhin said. Indeed, they saw a big increase in shares on the Instagram and TikTok posts with these mpreg videos — which led to more downloads of their app. Making silly stupid stuff is good for business. (An update of the app that will allow users to put a photo of themselves proudly cradling a pregnant Trump or Drake will be out soon.)I'm not sure what "mpreg Travis Kelce is going viral" means for the future — of AI or humanity. I do think that some of this stupid stuff is a coping mechanism for the more scary parts of AI. Sure, AI might kill us all one day, but at least we had some good memes.
