Old Stomping Grounds
Image and video generated with Grok Imagine. No foley in this, it's exactly what Grok generated.
Urban legends abound of particular places in the city where, at very peculiar and specific times, the boundaries between eras vastly separated by time can blur, allowing lifeforces to surge from one organism to another like lightning. Almost always the mysterious conduit just shuffles one ancient arthropod with a modern one, but sometimes... you get lucky.
I know for certain that a new text-to-image engine came out recently, because I have Grok on two devices and for the span of a few days, precisely the same prompt given on one device would give FAR better output than the other. "Better" as in more accurate to what you specifically asked for. So the update had rolled out to one device, but not the other yet. I'm pretty excited about the possibilities there!
As well, I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the issue with the video extending feature reducing overall video quality has been... not completely fixed, but certainly lessened. This video was extended from the original image several times, and it still feels pretty sharp to me. Although perhaps it's just the dim nighttime lighting.
The reduced video generation limit on Grok Imagine is really grating on me, though. I can hit the limit in under an hour now, which is fine in that I have more time to get some reading done :D but it also means a "simple" video like this takes a few days instead of just one or two. Or perhaps I just need to up my prompt game so I'm not "wasting" as many generations!
