Google has added a new app to its Workspace suite - Vids. As The Verge explains, "it appears to be roughly what you'd get if you transformed Google Slides into a video app. You collect assets from Drive and elsewhere and assemble them in order — but unlike the column of slides in the Slides sidebar, you're putting together a left-to-right timeline for a video. Then, you can add voiceover or film yourself and edit it all into a finished video". Of course, Google jammed Gemini in here. It can be used to "make a first draft of the video for you" and "build a storyboard; it can write a script; it can read your script aloud with text-to-speech; it can create images for you to use in the video". This is what happens when you have a generation of children weaned on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram Stories that are now entering the workforce. I hate it.
