Before TikTok, six-second video app Vine was the king of short videos. Nearly nine years after the beloved app was shut down by its parent company Twitter, a new and strikingly similar app, Divine, has arrived, and is backed by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey.
The best part? More than 100,000 archived Vine videos will be included in the app, according to TechCrunch. In addition to the video archives, users will also be able to create new content. That is, unless you are planning to use generative AI to do so.
"Real moments from real humans, not AI," the brand new app website reads, underscoring that the video archives will not feature any AI-created content and that new content created by AI will also be restricted on Divine.

"The last three months I've been working on a project to bring back Vine, but as an open source open protocol app," former Twitter employee Evan Henshaw-Plath announced on Instagram on Thursday. "Today we launched in all of our messy buggy glory."
The Divine app can be downloaded on iOS and Android today.
