Thoughts of a Gille

Suppose you wanted to see what you'd look like in a music video or sound like singing a song. Well, you can actually get pretty close with simple one-click type AI tools today... So a word of warning: Be very cautious in this new digital world on what you accept as real. Anyway, this was a curiosity I made while testing out various one-click type AI tools. Does this type of video interest you? What type of questions does it make you think up? Does it make you laugh? Does it make you concerned for the future of digital media? Does it make you excited for the future of digital media? What kind of video's would you like to see me attempt to produce next?

What does it look like when you slap a bunch of unrelated AI type generated garbage together real quick for education and memes? Well, Right now, this is kinda what that looks like for me. Anyone else working on way too many things at once and trying to digest and explore AI in creative ways? What kind of things are you playing around with?

I ran across facebookresearch/audiocraft and decided to take it for a quick run-through. I believe this tool shows promise and could be improved upon to create some fairly powerful tools for content creators and the likes. Would you like to see more in depth-dives into projects? Would you like continuations of brief looks at technology as it becomes available to the public? Let me know what you'd like to see! Links: Audiocraft Github: https://github.com/facebookresearch/a... HF Demo: https://huggingface.co/spaces/faceboo... HF Model repo: https://huggingface.co/facebook/music... Other links can be found on their project pages for more info. P.S. The project specifies 16 GB of GPU "RAM", but it really depends on several factors. You can get away running the largest model at 12 or even lower GB provided you don't chain to many descriptions.

Me: Impressive! Can you add camera actions, shot framing, color composition, camera equipment likely used, etc? AI: Absolutely, here's the storyboard with added camera actions, shot framing, color composition, and potential camera equipment: Scene 1 (00:00 - 00:30) Image Description: Bill Murray, portraying a seagull named Sammy with bright, curious eyes, discovers a shiny, golden compass amidst a pile of shiny trinkets in his nest located on a cliff overlooking the sea. Action: Sammy rummages through his collection of trinkets and finds the compass. Dialogue: Sammy (voiceover): "Among the ordinary, I found something extraordinary." Camera Action: Close-up shot of Sammy's face as he discovers the compass, then a cut to a medium shot showing Sammy in his nest. Color Composition: The scene is bathed in the warm, golden light of the setting sun, highlighting the shiny trinkets in Sammy's nest. Camera Equipment: DSLR camera with a prime lens for the close-up shot. Sce

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been making waves in various fields, from healthcare to finance, and now it's making its mark in the world of art. But what does this mean for artists, art enthusiasts, and the art industry as a whole? AI has been used to create stunning pieces of art that blur the lines between man-made and machine-made. Algorithms are now capable of generating artwork that is indistinguishable from pieces created by human artists. This raises interesting questions about creativity, originality, and the role of human artists in an increasingly digital world. But AI is not just a tool for creating art; it's also being used to understand and interpret art. Machine learning algorithms can analyze artwork, identify patterns and themes, and even predict future art trends. This has significant implications for art historians, curators, and anyone interested in understanding the evolution of art. However, the intersection of AI and art is not without controversy. Some

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field that aims to create machines or systems that can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, decision making, and creativity. However, not all AI researchers share the same vision of what constitutes intelligence or how to achieve it. In this blog post, we will explore two contrasting philosophical approaches to AI research: the whimsical spaghetti demons and the gogurt demons. The whimsical spaghetti demons are a group of AI researchers who believe that intelligence is not a fixed or well-defined concept, but rather a fluid and emergent phenomenon that arises from complex interactions between agents and their environment. They argue that intelligence is not something that can be measured or replicated by following a set of rules or algorithms, but rather something that can be discovered or invented by exploring the possibilities and constraints of different domains and contexts. They view AI as a creative
