The AI-generated photos, art, and animations I share are part of an ongoing learning process to better understand this technology’s potential. I am experimenting across mediums – images, animation, coding, voice, music – with the goal of someday combining these skills into a personalized AI assistant and friend that can help improve lives.
Everything I post is created using free tools as I explore sustainable ways to leverage AI long-term. However, this endeavor requires significant investment of time, care, and computing resources. It took 3 months of dedicating over 12 hours a day to gain enough experience with AI image generation. Producing 20 seconds of animation can involve manually retouching 80-400 AI generated keyframes, which takes over 20 hours per video. Thousands result in failure due to technical limitations. Meticulous retouching and re-generating is essential to fix flaws.
The specialized GPU and electricity needed to power the AI generation are also costly. But for those with
