Saving Assets for Later – In the process of experimenting with Ai text to image, I generated a number of stills documented in my post Human Coding and Ai Generated Imagery for Animation. Currently I am waiting for some ‘Chladni’ equipment arriving from Ireland. Therefore, instead of wasting time, I decided to experiment with some of the small animations I made in that post. Video 1. A combination of Clips The video below was a composite of all of the short clips I generated from my software tutorial. I like the fluid motion of the clips and the way they spread. I feel this could be a visual metaphor for the relentless spread of Ai into our lives. Video 2. Ai from an Early Age The video below is an experiment moving on from video 1. I added an iPad and a cake and candle. This represents the march of Ai from an increasingly early age. Video 3. Ai on the March This was my preferred video from the series of experiments. It is a simple video short exploring the tentacle like spread of images across a screen. The calming music to each video is there to […]
A Steep Learning Curve – Since learning all about text to image Ai technology, I decided to explore it further. Ai seems to be everywhere – if it were a living creature, I would liken it to one with tentacles – perhaps an octopus or a squid? It might also be likened to a tree with branches sprawling everywhere and with increasing speed crawls further into our lives. I suspect it will become ever more pervasive and how it is used, either for good or ill, will be down to us all. Running with the idea that Ai has tentacles and or branches, I decided to try a text prompt to see what Ai made of the request. I used ‘Tentacles, Branches, Network and Fractals’ as my main prompt. All of the images below were created from this text. I was pleased with the images above because I was looking for a good example image for a new visual programming tutorial I wanted to try. The tutorial was about generating a growing image. The tentacle-like images above seemed perfect for this, especially in relation to my thoughts about the tentacle nature of Ai. Below is the image that I chose […]
