  • Digital Wasteland – an AI doomer anthem

    Digital Wasteland – an AI doomer anthem

    AI is disrupting music as well, I have been creating many new tracks using the new alpha version 3 of Suno One of the tracks came out just great, although it’s a rather grim song about the future being a digital wasteland due to our technology addiction. I have decided to do a full music…

    Sunni & Huldra – An AI short for Runway Gen:48

    I was stoked to be one of the hundreds of participants in the second edition of Runway Gen:48 AI film competition. With very limited time I had to cut some corners but I am still very happy with the result. Enjoy Sunni & Huldra, a tale of ancient creatures that just want to be seen,…

  • More AI Video and Music Experiments

    More AI Video and Music Experiments

    I have been trying out several AI video generators for the past few months and even made a trailer for the YouVille movie using Pika a while back. The one that has so far shown the best results and seems to have been dominating the scene is Runway with its Gen-1 video-to-video and Gen-2 text/image-to-video…

  • A Year with AI: Reflections on the Future

    A Year with AI: Reflections on the Future

    Exactly one year ago, my book, ‘Blueberry & the Bear and Other Stories,’ made its debut. It holds the distinction of being the world’s first collection of bedtime stories authored using ChatGPT, with illustrations generated by Dall-E2. It meant I collaborated with a Large Language Model and a Diffusion Model, serving as my co-author and…

  • Youville Movie Trailer

    Youville Movie Trailer

    I’ve had the chance to revisit one of my Midjourney projects from back in February and made a short video #trailer for the movie Youville using Pika Labs. I used Pika to animate some of the “movie stills” generated with Midjourney and put them together in Microsoft Clipchamp with the “Digital error” transition and a…

    Poet-GPT – A.I. writing Shakespearian Sonnets on autoplay

    As an English major, Shakespearian sonnets have been my favorite form when writing poems for quite a few years back in the early 2000s. So no wonder I am mixing things up again at the intersection of human creativity and artificial intelligence. For this experiment, I used Auto-GPT with OpenAI API and Pinecone for the…

    XM45: An A.I. audio tribute to X Minus One and Luis van Rooten

    The second story in my book “Blueberry & the Bear and Other Stories” is called The Spirit of XM45. It’s a short story about how the spirit of Christmas finds a way to reach a lonely engineer on a remote planet. It’s also my (hopefully) funny attempt at creating a sci-fi Christmas-themed story with leetspeak…

  • Youville The Movie

    Youville The Movie

    Yet another experiment in human + AI creative collaboration. Youville is a virtual reality city where dreams become reality, but at a cost. The Blackwood Corporation, lead by the cunning and manipulative Alexander Blackwood, is holding young “associates” captive to serve as characters in the VR city. But when a group of rebels, led by…
