AI and I

Watch video on linke below From the time our cavemen ancestors first gazed at the stars and started pondering everything from the trivial to the profound, humanity has been debating which came first, chicken or egg. In those days it might have been focused on dino or egg. This is my take, a video created with generative AI.   The Making of the Video  Step 1. Songwriting After keying in a prompt into Suno outlining what the song is all about it spewed out in seconds two versions with the following lyrics: [Verse 1] Which came first the chicken or the egg Round and round it goes playin' on my head Feathers and shells and mornin' sunlight Crackin' jokes 'bout what's wrong or right [Verse 2] Cluckin' around in a barnyard chase Egg rolls down in a fast-paced race Chickens laugh with a wingful glee Mystery spins like a carnival spree [Chorus] Chicken or egg it's a riddle we sing What hatched first the bird or the thing Round and round goes the fun debate Let...

At election rallies, business forums, on primetime TV, on radio, in print, there is overcapacity of the word!  Why? Because politicians have coined it as the catchphrase to pin the blame for all the woes they themselves have created, on China, the source of all the overcapacity of EVs, solar panels, appliances, gadgets, etc, etc, that are flooding the world. The West paints overcapacity as an existential threat to the survival of their companies and the job security of their employees. However the pro overcapacity side celebrate its benefits like lowering the cost of living for the average wage earners who are wrestling with high inflation.  Love it or hate it, overcapacity is on everyone's mind and echoed incessantly by the mainstream media so you won't forget it!  But I have turned it into a song to put the word in perspective.  Enlisting the synergy between natural intelligence and AI, "Overcapacity the Song" explores both sides of the coin with witty lyrics and f...

View video below. This is my attempt at using LTX Studio to generate a micro movie complete with music, sound effects and voice over, all in one pass.   Title: “The Princess’ Triumph” Synopsis: Aisha hailed from a long line of absolute rulers. Revered for her beauty and intellect, kings and emperors from near and far sought her hand in marriage. But her heart was promised to her childhood friend Farus who grew to become the Commander of the Palace Guards. Her next in line to the throne Reena would stop at nothing to achieve her secret ambition to replace her. Result: A 100% AI generated 35 sec. micro movie. I first wrote the synopsis and fed it as the prompt into the platform. It generated a storyboard comprising 5 scenes, each offering some degree of customisation with the soundtrack, sound effects and the voice over. Overall the user interface turned out to be fairly intuitive and I was able to achieve a good deal of customisation to bring my vision to life. It isn’t perfe...

After publishing “Nanyang A Graphic Novel” on Amazon, I started developing the next book in the trilogy. With the concept and a mockup completed I put the project on the back burner. When I was about to resume work by hand-drawing the old school way, as I have done with the first book, an emerging technology burst upon the creative world. Artificial Intelligence! The buzz was too loud to ignore, the mania infectious. Joining millions across the planet I soaked up the tutes from the pioneering experts, trying out various platforms and made generative content for posters, t-shirts and ads. Soon my attention returned to the graphic novel. After finishing a couple of chapters I thought it might be an idea to shout out the book with a teaser. The keyframes were generated on Leoardo AI. I started by sketching out the storyboard and proceeded with recording the VO using macOS builtin text-to-speech TextEdit. Next I generated the key frames on LeonardoAI, and enhanced them in Photoshop. Ea...

For the next ad in the series which offered a free ink refill with pen purchase, we continued focusing on the product-...
