Description
AGI. ASI. Recursive self-improvement. Meh? Are we 2 weeks away from the models that change everything, or do we have another cycle to go? Will anyone even notice?
Kyle Shannon explores the latest shifts in the AI landscape, discussing ChatGPT’s decision to pause video features in anticipation of new releases. He dives into a hands-on session using Suno 5.5 to remix his original song "Trouble," testing how the latest models handle vocal covers and arrangements. This experimental process highlights the often messy reality of using AI to create music that feels both personal and polished.
Kyle also experiments with Midjourney and Hedra to generate character references and animate them into a music video. He navigates the technical hurdles of audio uploads and the "uncanny valley" of AI lip-syncing, offering a candid look at the current limitations of avatar tech. Through these trials, he demonstrates the persistence needed to move past "slop" and toward meaningful creative output.

0:10 Come on. Come lay down. 0:52 Woo! 1:17 No. 1:44 Wow. 1:55 Thank you, Silver Fox, for sharing the 1:57 live. If you haven't shared the live yet 1:59 on the Tik Tok, please do that. SpinB3 2:03 over there on the uh the YouTube. 2:06 Hello. Hello. 2:20 Is that Herod D in the house 2:47 Joker? 2:48 How you doing buddy? 2:51 I hope you are on the mend. 3:16 The Tim Lord is in the house. 3:44 Sitting in a lonely town. Yeah, when 3:47 things are going to change. 3:51 My life away. Seems these dreams are 3:54 turn 3:56 glass. 3:58 Get my nerve up, but my past is pulling 4:02 me down. 4:06 Wonder how long this black sheep going 4:09 to stick around. 4:15 Somebody told me once before, you can 4:18 never go home again. 4:20 Won't you leave? S things to steer me 4:24 away. Yeah. From the truth, who I am and 4:28 what I believe. So I thanked it for two 4:31 hands with a handshake and some 4:33 sympathies. Yeah. Happy manic Monday. 4:41 Chemo caused heart failure. Reversible. 4:44 Almost killed me. Jesus about killed me. 4:48 Joker. 4:50 Too strong for that [ __ ] chemo. 4:53 I'm glad you survived the uh horrific 4:56 side effect. Could cause heart failure. 5:00 Let's not do that. Good lord. Well, I'm 5:04 glad you're still here, man. It's great 5:05 to see you. 5:09 The guitar went out of tune, too. 5:13 Wow. Went way out of tune. The [ __ ] 5:43 flew me out to a bigger hospital. 8 5:45 days. Wow. Well, welcome back. 5:50 Uh, since you've been here, uh, since 5:53 you since since you've been here, 5:56 you can't make videos anymore in chat 5:58 GPT. 6:00 Let's let's get to the important news. 6:04 Uh it looks like they uh they shut down 6:06 video on chat GPT to focus on whatever's 6:09 coming out in the next week or two. Uh 6:12 which 6:20 I'm going to talk tonight if if anyone 6:22 has any questions about what's 6:23 happening. I'm going to talk tonight 6:25 about 6:31 about what's happening with the AI 6:32 stuff. Um, 6:35 I'm a little fed up with it. 6:44 as as these companies are positioning 6:47 themselves to go public, 6:50 they're sort of more obnoxious than they 6:52 ever have been about 6:56 what they're doing and what they're not 6:58 doing and who's got AGI and who's got 7:00 ASI and who's got recursive 7:02 self-improvement 7:04 and who's spending $8 trillion on energy 7:07 centers and I just don't know. But 7:11 there's cool pictures coming back from 7:12 the moon. 7:16 Steo, I have a question, Kyle. What's 7:19 going on in AI? 7:25 We'll talk about that tonight. 7:34 Oh, that's a good question. If AI art 7:37 really is bad slop, then why do you need 7:39 to worry it will replace you? It's not a 7:42 bad bad little uh 8:34 There's been something baby I was trying 8:36 to say 8:40 aging. It seems I don't know how 8:46 the past and the future now surrounding 8:49 me. 8:52 Surrender to whatever cheap thrill can 8:54 be found. 8:58 There's been a little trouble 9:01 since you came to my rescue. 9:08 And if you're like all of the rest, I 9:11 would quit you long ago, but I couldn't 9:14 do that. 9:20 Oh, tell me now. Women and wine never 9:23 went too well. 9:27 Make a man crazy, make him cold as hell. 9:34 I'm a woman that you wish me well. 9:38 But despite it trying, still going to 9:41 have to find 9:43 my own way through 9:54 champion. Nothing. No singing tonight. 10:12 What's the best place to make a music 10:14 vid? Chat GPT. Oh no, you can't do it 10:17 there anymore. It wasn't the best place 10:20 to make one anyway. 10:32 Oh yeah. 10:57 No. 11:18 Heat. Heat. 12:07 Oh, that wasn't a rhetorical question. 12:09 The video one, Steo. 12:12 Um, 12:14 the last one that I've used for a music 12:16 video kind of thing is Hedra H. Um, 12:22 there's probably other ones that are 12:24 good now that do long form lip syncing, 12:28 but I don't know. The new Hedra model is 12:31 really quite good. 12:35 It's called like Character Animate, I 12:37 think it's called. And it's it's better 12:38 than Remember before Hedra did all this 12:41 weird like weird weird ass breathing 12:44 things. Actually, maybe we'll go make 12:45 one of those tonight, you know? 12:49 Um, 12:52 except I got to find an image. 12:59 Um 13:02 here let me share my screen. 13:10 Wait, did I share it? Oh, it's shared. 13:25 Let's see. KS contains KS. 13:33 Um, 13:36 deep modified 14:03 That's not it. Let's go to 14:07 So, what I'm going to look to do here, 14:09 kids. 14:12 Kids and neighbors. Oh, black bar. 14:16 Black bar. Blackberry. Bam. Jam. Black. 14:19 Blame jam. 14:22 I've actually ventured into Sunno, made 14:24 a couple of songs. Was hoping to make a 14:26 video. All right, let's go do that. So, 14:27 here's what we'll do. We'll just go make 14:29 some some new original art. And then 14:32 what's the what's the song that I wrote? 14:34 Trouble, right? 14:38 Trouble. We got Trouble right here in 14:40 River City with a capital B and that 14:43 stands for that rhymes with P and that 14:45 stands for pool. 14:49 Trouble. 14:52 Oh, 14:54 trouble. 15:00 Yeah. 15:04 Okay, that's that. 15:09 We'll do the hard one this time. 15:24 Oh, 15:32 standing between 15:36 you and a hard place is 15:40 >> All right, that's the one we'll do. So, 15:43 so that's uh 15:46 that's the music we'll use. 15:49 Stand between you and a hot place is 15:53 insane. 16:00 Thank you, Robert Rossy, for the gifts 16:01 on Tik Tok. Appreciate that. 16:10 Standing between 16:13 You and a heart place is insane. 16:19 Stand to near 16:22 you and a fire makes it clear. 16:28 Your trouble to me. 16:34 Red trouble. Can't you see? 16:40 Leaning in close. 16:43 Smell of your perfume scares me most. 16:49 Leaning away. Hey, 16:52 feels stronger every day. 16:58 Your trouble to me. 17:04 Real trouble can't you see. 17:08 All right. So, that's our song. 17:14 Um, 17:16 let's go make a pretty picture. So, 17:18 we're going to make a pretty picture in 17:19 Mid Journey. Hey, Midjourney. What you 17:23 doing there? Mid Journey. 17:26 Midjourney. 17:30 Journey. Midjourney. 17:32 Hey, Midjourney. What's shaking? What's 17:35 going down? How you doing there, Mid 17:38 Journey? Yeah, fantastic. Hey, Bob. 17:41 Yeah. Well, hey, you know, I was 17:43 wondering what what do they win? Uh 17:47 there's it's not a game show. There's 17:49 There's no prizes. 17:51 Yeah, but they got to win something, 17:53 right, for being here, putting up with 17:56 this nonsense. 17:59 Kyle, you are so talented. 18:06 I I assume you're joking, but if you're 18:08 not, thank you. I appreciate that. Um, 18:12 let's see if we can go find a face. 18:16 A face of mine. Here we go. 18:21 I think these are Oh, yeah. These are 18:23 these are some of the pictures that we 18:24 used. Okay. 18:30 Oh, I see. And I used the cowboy 18:31 picture. Okay, got it. 18:38 That one kind of looks like me. That was 18:40 pretty good. 18:44 Mjourney, 18:46 Robert Rossi, I'm not joking. A thank 18:48 you so much. I appreciate the kind 18:50 words. I My relationship with my singing 18:53 is is tenuous at best. 18:59 But now that we have these magical 19:01 [ __ ] AI tools where I can take sort 19:05 of a sketch of a song and turn it into 19:07 something that I'm actually happy to 19:09 listen to, that's pretty [ __ ] cool. I 19:12 got to say 19:31 Standing between you and the hard place 19:34 is insane. 19:36 Standing too near your fire makes it 19:39 clear. 19:44 You're trouble to me. 19:47 Real trouble. Can't you see? 19:52 You're trouble. Don't you know? Cheeto 19:55 dust alert. All right, hang on, people. 19:58 I'm going to fix you. 20:00 Everybody's all excitable over here. We 20:02 can't see anything. Could you tell Kyle 20:05 to fix the lens? He's got schmutz on his 20:09 lens. 20:12 I'm here just tired and quiet tonight. 20:15 All right, listen. One of the uh one of 20:18 the prerequisites of the AI learning lab 20:20 is not that you have to be peppy. just 20:23 if you're here, that's cool. Um, 20:29 okay. Let's let's grab 20:33 let let us grab Hang on just one second, 20:36 dear. Hang on a second. Let's just grab 20:40 a picture 20:43 that gets gets us close. Let's see. 20:47 Singer with tossled hair. 20:57 swing. 21:01 That one's kind of cool. All right, so 21:03 we're going to grab that and we're going 21:05 to grab that. 21:08 What just happened? 21:15 The [ __ ] 21:33 Why is it not 21:36 I wish I understood 21:39 this a little bit better. Well, let's go 21:42 in here. 21:44 We will go find an image. 21:48 So, what I'm doing right now is going to 21:49 find an image of me. 21:52 We'll do that one instead. The one with 21:54 the the glasses. 21:56 That's start frame. We don't want start 21:58 frames. We want this as a switch to 22:00 image. So, that's the image prompt. 22:03 We're going to go omnireence. Okay. 22:07 And then we'll go let's go we'll go 22:11 stylization 250 22:14 weirdness. We'll bring that down a 22:16 little bit. And then we'll go, do we 22:19 want a tall 22:22 or a wide image? I think we'll go wide. 22:27 All right. 22:31 And then we'll go dash dash 22:34 R space 4. So, if you're in midjourney 22:38 or midjourney, 22:41 if you're in midjourney, 22:43 by the way, 22:45 Yukon is down eight with 14 minutes to 22:49 go. It's basketball, so scores don't 22:52 matter until the last 60 seconds. 22:57 I never quite got basketball. 23:01 Um, we both know you need a wide image. 23:03 that okay there that was a fat joke 23:07 there there is fat shaming happening in 23:09 the comments 23:12 I will have you know 23:16 okay d- r space 4 will give us four 23:21 sets of four so we get 16 extra wide 23:25 images of me 23:27 um by the way 23:30 those that awful noise I just made I'm 23:33 for this is now the fifth night in a row 23:35 where I've felt fine all day and then at 23:38 literally like 8:15 every night my 23:41 sinuses fill up. Tonight it's my right 23:43 one. It's been four days of my left one 23:46 and my sinuses fill up and I feel like 23:48 dog poop. So 24:07 No 16 by9. You don't like 16 by9? I like 24:10 16 by9. We're going 16 by9. 24:14 These look like [ __ ] Why are they Oh, 24:16 cuz they're not done. 24:22 Oh, look at that with the chest hair. 24:25 That's solid. 24:29 Oh yeah, 24:31 bring it on in. Rockstar. Hello. 24:35 Maybe Dr. Skinner can help. Ah, 24:37 somebody's been looking at my shitty 24:39 videos on LinkedIn. 24:42 Hey, Dr. J. That does not look like me 24:44 at all. That does not either. These 24:46 don't look like me at all. These look 24:48 like Iggy Pop and 24:52 someone else had a bad day. Not Iggy 24:55 Pop. Uh, Eddieard. 25:01 Yeah, these are bad. These are really 25:02 bad. What the [ __ ] is up? 25:05 What What model am I using? Seven. 25:10 Let's try eight. 25:12 Eight early access. All right, let's 25:15 let's go get a different picture. 25:22 Sha ding. Shing ding ding 25:28 shing ding 25:31 ding ding ding. 25:35 Do you do your trouble to me? Let's get 25:40 rid of weirdness. We'll do stylization 25:43 100. 25:45 And then what I think we're going to do, 25:49 we're going to try something here. I 25:52 love Eddie Isard. Kyle is defiant like 25:54 that. Yeah. Yeah. It's if you if you 25:58 don't know it yet, if you're an 25:59 irregular, you clearly know this, but if 26:02 or if you're producer Brandon, you 26:04 painfully know this. If you want me not 26:07 to do something, tell me to do it. If 26:09 you want me to do something, tell me not 26:11 to do it. Don't know where it came from. 26:14 It's been there my whole life. It gives 26:16 me great joy. 26:20 Okay. So there we're going to do. 26:25 Let's see. Are any of these any good? 26:27 No. No. No. They're horrible. 26:32 Okay. 26:36 With tusled hair sits on the microphone. 26:38 All right. We'll see how that looks. 26:42 And then what we're going to do is we're 26:44 going to go out to explore. We're going 26:45 to go to styles. 26:49 Let's go to hot styles. Let's do um 26:55 photographic. 26:59 So, I'm over in midjourney. If you're 27:02 looking if you're playing along, if 27:04 anybody wants to play along, 27:14 we'll try that one. 27:19 That one's cool. We'll try that one. 27:21 We'll try this one. 27:28 That one's cool. We'll try that one. Oh, 27:30 let's go back and look at what we're 27:33 doing. Did it give us Did it keep Yes, 27:35 it did. It kept It kept the style 27:37 reference. That's really cool. Or the 27:38 omni reference. 27:42 Okay, so these now look more like me. 27:45 Sort of. That one sort of does. 27:49 Damn. 27:51 Look at that hottie. 27:53 Come on. Come on, people. 27:59 That is That is some That is some hot 28:03 Kyle Shannon AI action. 28:12 H. Oh, here's our different styles. 28:15 Okay, that one's weird. Weird. Weird. 28:18 All right, these are still coming. 28:26 Oh, that one's kind of cool. 28:31 says that. 28:45 Let's download that one 28:53 and we'll get we'll do that one and 28:55 we'll do hottie. We'll do two different 28:56 versions. We'll do. Is that hottie? 28:59 That's hottie. That's hottie 29:01 mccottington. 29:03 Kyle admitting to himself that he's a 29:05 hottie. No, I'm admitting that the hot 29:08 AI version of me with the the super sexy 29:12 bedroom eyes is a hottie. 29:17 That I will admit to. 29:19 I will not I do not claim responsibility 29:22 for the the genetics of the person in 29:25 that photo. 29:27 There are no genetics there. Michigan's 29:30 up by nine with 12 minutes to go. Okay. 29:39 I bet that version of you can breathe 29:41 right now. Yeah, exactly. That version 29:43 of me doesn't have the sniffles. 29:47 God damn. 29:51 All right. So, where we're going is 29:52 we're going to Hedra. hed a 29:56 hedra.ai and then we're going to go 30:00 I got to log in 30:30 These will take a while. So, what we'll 30:32 do is I'll get these two rolling. 30:36 We're going to accept all the cookies. 30:37 We're going to jump in here. 30:40 We're going to go create. We're going to 30:42 go create a generate a video. 30:45 So, we got start frame, end frame, and 30:47 then here we got Cling, V3 Pro, Seed 30:50 Dance 1.5, 30:53 Cling. Let's see where's Avatar. 30:57 Hedra Avatar. I think this is the one. 31:03 Yeah. 31:05 Oh, no. Hedra character 31:08 or flagship. I think it's Hedra avatar. 31:12 Yeah. 31:15 Archetypal Architect finally here. Got 31:17 up got caught up in editing a new book. 31:20 Very nice. Okay, we are going to add a 31:24 start frame. 31:27 So, wait. Okay, so we're going to 31:29 upload. So, there's two versions of 31:31 this. One is the hottie version. 31:37 I mean, one's one's hard rock. 31:44 I think we'll do this one as the not so 31:46 hard rock one. 31:49 This one is also relatively hottie. 31:55 So here we'll go trouble 31:59 name contains trouble 32:01 Americana soft. 32:11 down 32:19 standing between. 32:25 >> Okay, 32:27 so that's going to go. 32:33 Beautiful. And now what we're going to 32:35 do is we're going to trash that image. 32:37 And we're gonna trash 32:40 that song. 32:43 By the way, Steo, I hope you're paying 32:44 attention. You paying attention here. 32:51 All right. This is Hottie. Hottie's 32:52 gonna rock out. 32:56 And then we're gonna We got to clear 32:58 that. Clear that. There we go. And then 33:00 we're going to upload. 33:03 We go trouble. 33:07 This should these should 33:10 make less janky. 33:22 Oh, cool. Panda, I did a duet version of 33:25 your song and it's so good. Not as good 33:27 as your version, but still so good. 33:29 That's awesome. 33:32 I think that's so cool. The Headless 33:35 Thompson Gunner. Okay. 33:40 So, there we go. 33:44 What'll be fascinating with these, I 33:46 haven't used these um 33:49 this new avatar model to make music 33:53 videos. So, so this is new probably 33:56 within 3 weeks. Error. Failed to upload 33:58 audio. 34:00 Well, that's stupid. 34:04 All right, let's clear. Well, let's try 34:06 it again. Try again. 34:11 Something went wrong. 34:21 Error. Failed to upload audio. Clear. 34:25 Add speech. Upload. 34:30 down. Oh, no. Let's see. Trouble 34:36 name contains trouble. 34:40 Wait, where did my 34:44 Where did my trouble songs go? 34:56 All right. 35:10 queuing. All right, no, that one failed, 35:13 too. What the [ __ ] Wait, 35:16 no, it didn't. Something. Wait. 35:30 So, it looks like two of them are going. 35:37 Hedra avatar go. 35:48 I don't think those are going to work. 35:49 Well, we'll see how the other one is. 35:51 All right, let's head over to X and 35:56 Oh, wow. Highest quality video of the 35:59 moon was just released. This is so 36:01 beautiful. 36:25 call that video. That looks like it's 36:28 an animated photograph, 36:32 but still pretty cool. 36:35 Okay. So, while while Hedra is off 36:37 making our music videos supposedly, 36:44 um, I just want to go look at I just 36:46 want to go read some some news because 36:49 So, by the way, tomorrow night at 5:00 36:52 is AI Salon Presents.
