Taking a quick break from Delphi programming, I wanted to see if I could take one of my selfie pictures and do some quick “modern AI” manipulations using Copilot and Hedra prompts. I started with a selfie picture of me in my home office:

Here is the resulting video:
Hedra also provides a developer API that I will explore in a future post 😀
