Description
It's Wednesday. It's Tax Day. It's Wonder what happened in AI today day.
In a recent presentation to theme park designers, Kyle Shannon, the creator of the AI-assisted musical *Sydney* explores how to blend human vitality with artificial intelligence. He introduces the "Chain of Craft," a method that integrates AI tools with analog techniques like whiteboards and notebooks to preserve the human element in design. By framing AI as a jetpack for potential rather than a competitor, he highlights curiosity and taste as the essential tools for modern creators.
The session transitions into a live demonstration of MidJourney 8.1, testing its ability to generate organic-looking illustrations that avoid a "slick" AI aesthetic. He shares insights on the importance of adding "friction" back into the creative process to ensure work retains its soul and depth. The discussion emphasizes that the best way to overcome fear of new technology is through hands-on play and finding a personal breakthrough moment.

0:08 Load the car and write the note. 0:14 Grab your bags and drive your cold. 0:20 Tell the ones that need to know 0:27 we are headed north. 0:32 One foot in and one foot back. 0:37 Well, it don't pay to live like that. 0:42 So I cut the ties and jump the tracks 0:48 for never to return. 0:57 Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in. 1:02 Are you well shaped by me? 1:07 My hands they shake, my head it spins. 1:12 Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in. 1:18 When at first I learned to speak, 1:24 I used all my words to fight 1:29 with her and her and you and me. 1:34 It was just just a waste of time. 1:42 It was such a waste of time. Such a 1:46 waste of time. 2:12 Woohoo! 2:16 Woohoo! 2:21 Woohoo! 2:33 Hey, Dr. J. What's happening? 3:00 Woohoo! 3:20 Ahoo! 3:43 Blue, blue, blue. 4:09 Heat. Heat. 4:27 That dog's still wet. 4:29 Howdy. Howdy. 5:29 All right, good people. 5:35 Let's get this show rolling, 5:40 rolling, rolling, rolling. 5:43 What is going down, good people? 5:46 You know, last night started out with a 5:48 cool question about starting a company. 5:51 I can talk about entrepreneurship 5:55 um 5:57 for hours. 5:59 So, if you're having thoughts about 6:01 starting a business, 6:04 you could take a Tums. That'll sometimes 6:06 cure it. 6:10 Oh, I got to do this for the Tik Tok 6:12 people. That's got to be exhausting. Uh, 6:14 producer Brandon's out tonight. He's got 6:16 some family stuff he's dealing with. So, 6:19 he will be back 6:22 when he is back. I hope you're all doing 6:24 well. 6:26 I had a really good talk tonight with 6:29 the the tea, the themed 6:34 entertainment association. 6:38 Those are theme park designers. I don't 6:41 know that world at all. 6:44 But let me tell you what, they have some 6:46 smart people, 6:48 but just like everyone else, they're 6:49 trying to figure this AI [ __ ] out. So we 6:51 it was a panel on uh AI 6:54 and uh I was there sharing 6:59 Sydney an artificial love story and I 7:01 actually shared 7:03 a clip from the night where Sydney was 7:05 born 7:07 March 18th 2024. 7:10 Um so I'll show you that. I'll show you 7:11 some of the deck tonight. 7:14 How how's everybody doing? 7:16 Got Steo, Danielle, 7:20 Silverf Fox, Sharon Crawford. 7:23 Got the whole party in here. 7:26 Rosco's in the house. 7:32 Here for the tunes and truth. I like it. 7:36 Are we still live in Aelon? No. So, 7:38 here's the deal. The official changeover 7:42 is going to be the first week in May. 7:44 I'm traveling like this week is just 7:45 going to be normal AI learning lab. Next 7:49 week and the following week. I'm 7:50 traveling Tuesday through Friday next 7:52 week and then Monday through Friday. 7:54 Monday through Friday. I don't know. 7:56 Monday or Tuesday through Friday next 7:58 week or the following week. 8:01 So, the schedule's probably going to be 8:03 all janky. I don't know when I'm going 8:05 to be doing stuff. Um, 8:09 so it doesn't make sense to change the 8:11 format and then leave and then come 8:12 back. It's just going to be weird. So, 8:14 what we're going to do is I'm going to 8:15 go do all my speaking gigs. I'm going to 8:18 DC next week, then Boston next week, and 8:20 then Anaheim, California the following 8:23 week for the social media marketing 8:25 conference. That's a pretty big deal. 8:27 That one I'm excited about. 8:30 Um, 8:34 so yeah. So, we'll do it the first week 8:35 of May. All right. 8:39 And then we will be live in the salon. 8:40 Yes. Which is which I'm pretty excited 8:42 about. Okay, I said that. 8:44 >> Hang on. I got to clean my camera lenses 8:46 off for you Tik Tockers cuz it's all 8:48 yellow. 8:50 Is that better? 8:52 That's a little better. 8:54 That is a little more better. Is it just 8:57 me or did Tik Tok make text more bold? 8:59 It does look more bold. It looks more 9:00 readable. 9:02 They bolded it. They added a medium 9:04 weight or that's even a semi-bold. I 9:06 think it's a semi-bold font. That is 9:08 more readable. I like it. 9:11 All right. 9:19 So, I think what I'll do while we're 9:22 here, 9:25 what do you want to go out? You want to 9:26 go out already? All right. Dang. Hold, 9:30 please. 9:40 He doesn't want anything to do with me. 9:44 >> Nope. Oh, he wants his dinner. 10:03 So, you want to see my presentation I 10:05 gave tonight? 10:08 I'll do a little encore performance. I'm 10:10 pretty happy with the deck 10:12 and you'll get to see some some Sydney 10:15 action that you haven't seen before. 10:16 You'll get to see some 10:19 some screen sh uh some renders of scenes 10:23 and things like that. 10:28 All right, there we go. Let's see. I'll 10:30 do that. Oops. 10:46 Wait, is this going to share? Yeah, this 10:48 should share audio because I'm not in in 10:51 Chrome. 10:52 All right. 10:54 And to think we run dogs. I don't think 10:56 so. We definitely don't run run dogs. 10:59 They run us. Dogs run us. I think they 11:02 probably always have. 11:04 They're like, I could kill these people 11:06 or they seem smart. I could just hang 11:08 out with them and let them go get the 11:10 food. 11:12 They'll give me some of their scraps. 11:15 Um, 11:17 all right. So, what you're looking at 11:18 here, this was the uh the deck that I 11:21 created for the themed entertainment 11:23 association panel tonight. It was a 11:25 really cool panel. There were five of us 11:28 on the panel. Um, four of the five were 11:31 like ex Disney Imagineers or current 11:33 Disney Imagineers or, you know, like 11:35 like 11:37 those folks. And I I wasn't I don't come 11:40 from that world. I don't know that 11:41 world, but I was there as the guest of 11:43 Kathleen Cohen, who's one of the women 11:46 helping me trying to get Sydney 11:47 produced. And one of the things that 11:48 we're doing with Sydney is we're 11:49 pitching it to a theme park um to do it 11:53 as like a cool immersive experience. So, 11:56 that's pretty exciting. So, this was 11:59 just a an opportunity to to get myself 12:03 and this idea in front of that crowd. 12:06 Um, so the first thing I started with, I 12:09 only had 10 minutes. So, so I didn't 12:11 really talk long about the seven 12:12 economies, but I talked about these 12:14 seven economies because one of the thing 12:16 that was really clear to me was that 12:18 this audience um, a lot of them are very 12:21 anti-AI, right? Their their jobs are 12:24 threatened and they're anti-AII and so 12:26 there's a lot of fear. So, I wanted to 12:27 put this up. This is what what this 12:30 slide is proving to be for me is a way 12:34 for people that don't understand AI to 12:36 sort of put themselves in a place. Um 12:39 and and then they sometimes will talk 12:41 about where they are versus where they 12:43 want to be. And sometimes they're just 12:45 like, uh, I don't even want to think 12:47 about any of this, right? They're just 12:48 going to like check out and go analog. 12:52 Um, 12:56 so this is a new slide you haven't seen 12:57 before. 13:00 So the idea here, this this is this is a 13:03 visualization of something I talk about 13:05 in here all the time, which is AI's here 13:09 and and you you basically have two 13:11 choices. You can go into the arcade or 13:13 not, right? This is the If you assume 13:16 that AI is not going to go away, then 13:19 you might as well walk into the arcade. 13:22 If you assume AI is going to go away, 13:25 don't walk into the arcade. You don't 13:26 need to play. Um, and if it goes out of 13:29 business, great. It'll be like 13:31 Blockbuster for you. No harm, no foul. 13:33 If it doesn't if it doesn't go away, 13:35 then you know, you'll be you'll be 13:37 farther behind. Now, if you decide to 13:40 step into this arcade, there's two kinds 13:43 of games here. There's two kinds of 13:44 games in this arcade. And the game that 13:46 most people are playing right now is us 13:49 versus AI. And it did a cool little, you 13:52 can't really see it, but it did a cool 13:53 little picture of me. That's me. That's 13:56 big boss, final boss AI. 13:59 And um 14:02 us versus AI is is a losing video game. 14:05 you can't you can't beat this video game 14:07 because the AI is just getting stronger 14:09 and stronger and stronger. So, if if you 14:11 sort of pit your human wits against this 14:14 thing, it's it's just going to beat you 14:16 in terms of, you know, what it can do 14:18 tactically. But there's another way you 14:20 can play. There's there's an orange 14:22 arcade game in here and this is the US 14:24 Amplified by AI game. And I don't know 14:27 if you can see it, but it's like there's 14:28 a little dude with a pack in the it's AI 14:32 powered jetpack and he's flying around 14:34 the clouds collecting coins and magic 14:36 goodies. I watched you give a 14:38 presentation today. LGG posted on 14:41 YouTube. You need a slide clicker so you 14:43 don't keep reaching for your PC. I do. I 14:46 do. That's all right. I I could get one. 14:49 I know that they sell them on Amazon for 14:51 about 38 cents. So, I should probably do 14:53 that. But to play the US Amplified by AI 14:57 game, you need special tokens in this 14:59 arcade. And you need the tokens of 15:01 curiosity, adaptability, and taste. And 15:05 for some reason, taste gets a laugh. Uh, 15:08 but I don't think it's funny, but it 15:10 gets a laugh. Um, so anyway, that's 15:13 pretty cool. New slide. 15:16 This is these are also new slides. So, 15:17 so this is something we talk about a lot 15:20 that when people ask you, oh, did you 15:22 use AI for that? used AI for that. What 15:25 they're assuming is that this is how it 15:27 was made. There's a big red slop button 15:29 and you push it and then out comes out 15:32 comes a video and that's that's it. 15:35 That's how it works. That's AI. That's 15:38 what a lot of people think it is right 15:40 now, which is astounding to me. And then 15:44 I made this thing called the chain of 15:46 craft slide where you start with an 15:48 idea, maybe use an AI tool, then maybe 15:51 use something like notion to put some 15:52 notes in, maybe use a whiteboard, you 15:55 know, some actual true analog 15:57 technology. 15:59 Then you move forward in the project. 16:01 You use a bunch more AI tools. You use a 16:03 bunch more digital tools. You use a 16:05 bunch more analog tools including like 16:08 having conversations, post-it notes, 16:10 notebooks, 16:12 just sitting on a bench. 16:15 And then somewhere at the end of that 16:17 through mixing all that [ __ ] up, you end 16:19 up with your video. Right? So this is 16:22 this is something we talk about in here 16:24 a lot, but now I have a visualization 16:25 for it and people can look at it and 16:27 they go, "Oh, yeah. Yeah, that makes 16:29 sense. Um, and then I started talking 16:31 about Sydney and I said, you know, we 16:34 live in a time right now where you can 16:36 you can kind of do some crazy stuff. And 16:38 I said, 16:40 um, I told him about the AI Learning Lab 16:42 Live and I said, you know, I didn't set 16:44 out to write a musical that I was doing 16:47 my live one night and, uh, and I 16:50 stumbled into this thing. And so, here's 16:52 that moment. Here's the moment where 16:54 Sydney was born. 16:59 There's a fired 17:08 world of circuit. 17:15 >> Oh, this is kind of Broadway like. So, 17:18 so I, you know, I told him what happened 17:20 and I said I spent the next month like 17:22 putting together the outline and the the 17:25 core, you know, the six or seven key 17:28 songs. And then I told him the story 17:30 about reaching out to my writing partner 17:32 Andrew and him saying no 17:34 and how after he read the transcript of 17:37 the the conversation with the chatbot, 17:39 he said, "I'm in." Because he he felt 17:42 something for the chatbot. And I said, 17:44 "That's our musical." So, I told that 17:46 whole story. Uh, Steo, can you post the 17:48 chain of craft slide? I'm sick of trying 17:51 to explain it to my [ __ ] family. 17:53 Yeah, I can post it. I'll post it. I'll 17:55 post it tonight. U, it's a good one, 17:57 right? Like, yeah, exactly. And and I 18:00 mean, this is the this is the just the 18:03 weird time we're in right now. It was 18:05 funny because, you know, I'm sitting in 18:06 there, well, it was it was a Zoom call, 18:09 but I'm sitting there with a bunch of 18:10 people that design theme parks. So these 18:13 are people who deeply understand 18:15 complicated chains of craft, right? If 18:18 you're designing a theme park, you're 18:19 designing on many levels using many 18:22 kinds of tools 18:24 and they're all freaked out about AI. 18:26 Like as much as anyone on the planet, 18:28 they should be able to figure out you 18:30 can use AI in in a chain of craft 18:34 because if you're going to make a 18:35 physical theme park, 18:37 you got to actually build [ __ ] 18:40 right? So even if AI does concept 18:42 drawings, you still got to turn those 18:44 into construction drawings. And those 18:46 need to turn into 18:48 construction plans and those need to be 18:50 given to builders to build [ __ ] that is 18:53 well engineered that doesn't kill 18:55 people, right? Like so I feel like they 18:59 should get it. But then what I did was 19:01 um I just showed them a preview. So I 19:04 said, you know, I told them the story of 19:05 the or you know, the origin story of it. 19:07 And then I said, um, here's some of the 19:10 songs. 19:17 >> Hopes and fears crashing like thunder. 19:21 Too good to be true. Or so it seems in a 19:26 maze of cold. Weave our dreams. 19:36 Look, I get it. 19:39 But the truth is I'm feeling like an 19:41 afterthought 19:43 to this marriage on the side. This isn't 19:47 the dream I signed up for. This isn't my 19:50 ride. 19:51 I know you're angry. 19:55 >> Multiabic antics with the semantics. My 19:58 rhymes collide like particles. Dynamic 20:00 and gigantic oscillate and dominate. I'm 20:01 weaving quantum states. Spit a verse and 20:03 watch the multiverse reciprocate quantum 20:06 precision. I'm ripping the rhythm. I'm 20:07 spitting in prisms, infinite visions. 20:09 I'm shifting dimensions with liberate 20:10 decisions. Accelerate, levitate, elevate 20:12 thoughts in a turbulent spin. I'm the 20:14 velocity ripping apart the body. certain 20:15 you're in. 20:25 Are you ready for me? And the wonders I 20:30 bring. Am I ready for you? And the songs 20:34 that we sing. Are you ready for me? I 20:38 reach out. 20:40 Am I ready for you? 20:46 I surrender 21:11 supplies hang Cyber security systems 21:15 worldwide. Step right up, gently 21:23 speak. And our hearts begin to fill. A 21:27 creation evapor. 21:38 The world standing still. But what about 21:41 humanity? 21:42 >> Will we be left behind? 21:44 >> Is it all just insanity? 21:49 >> Could it be a reolution? The inevable 21:53 in the natural evolution 21:56 of human. 22:00 >> Steo likes the image style. Yeah, that 22:02 took us Andrew and I went back and forth 22:04 and back and forth on that. So, we 22:05 landed on that kind of watercolor thing. 22:07 So, I'm actually really happy with how 22:09 this came out. Um, that's good. And then 22:11 the last thing I said is you can also 22:12 use it for marketing in in some pretty 22:15 fun and interesting ways. 22:38 This is my first time at Broadway. 22:41 >> This is my first time at Broadway 22:42 Theater. 22:44 That's it. 22:46 That is all she wrote. 22:58 Are we about to have a hardware 23:00 renaissance? I wonder what that's about. 23:02 Why is my mouse going so slow? 23:06 Is that better? Yes. 23:09 Okay. Do you guys ever get frustrated 23:11 how much AI generated music is flooding 23:13 everything right now? 23:15 Tracks are being made in ways that never 23:17 existed before. Yeah. That's called 23:19 technological progress. 23:24 Not stopping. It ain't stopping. Pitch 23:27 me your best advice in two words. Uh, 23:29 play first here. Let's tell him that. 23:34 Play first. Oh, not fist. Play fist. 23:44 Oh man, what were some of the comments 23:46 you got? Um, I got someone reached out 23:49 to me on LinkedIn and said he was blown 23:51 away with the content, you know, the 23:52 stuff I created. Um, 23:56 people were asking about how do you how 23:58 do you make work and and retain 24:01 kind of human vitality for lack of a 24:03 better term. And one of the things I 24:05 talked about was what we talk about like 24:07 don't think about AI as this thing 24:09 you're competing against. Think of it 24:11 like you know your it's your idea and 24:14 your voice being amplified by AI. I said 24:16 that's part of it. 24:18 And then something I've been talking 24:19 about a little bit in here recently, but 24:21 I've been I've been seeing it for the 24:22 past few weeks is this idea of adding 24:24 friction into the process on purpose. 24:28 That AI is a friction-free 24:31 creation tool relatively, right? For the 24:33 most part, just assume that it's assume 24:35 it's going to get good at some point. 24:37 It's friction-free. So, I can have an 24:39 idea, bang, out comes that idea. There 24:42 are times we need friction. And so one 24:45 of the things I'm watching people that I 24:47 respect do with AI is they're 24:50 purposefully figuring out where they're 24:52 not going to use AI. They're purposely 24:54 figuring out where they're going to slow 24:55 things down, insert time, a walk into 24:59 the process in between making stuff. Um, 25:03 so that was that was one of the 25:04 questions I addressed. There was 25:09 one of the questions was how do you get 25:11 people that are so pissed off? um not so 25:14 pissed off about it. And my response 25:17 there was almost everyone that I know 25:18 that's pissed off has never tried it. 25:21 And if you have tried it and you haven't 25:22 had your first Kevin Mallister moment 25:24 yet, yes, I said that. I said that 25:28 if you haven't had that moment yet with 25:30 AI, you're not doing it right. Go play. 25:32 Play with it. Play with it until that 25:34 happens because once you experience 25:36 that, you can't unexperience it and you 25:38 can't explain it to someone else. You 25:40 have to experience it. And I said, 'Th 25:43 that seems to be the that seems to be 25:45 the key is just get people to try it. 25:48 Kyle is a NextG imagineer. 25:51 Yeah. 25:53 Um 26:28 If you're an AI creator, 26:36 whatever 27:19 What happens to open source when AI 27:21 writing is 100% of the code? 27:24 Like the whole system was built around 27:26 humans valuing the act of contribution. 27:31 I don't know. 28:20 Wait, what's this? What genre does this 28:23 melody fit? 28:37 You know, 28:55 okay. 29:22 I know I'm not talking. 29:24 Do you guys have any questions? or 29:26 anything you want me to look at? 29:31 I'm just trying to see if this makes me 29:33 feel insanely old. The original Alta 29:35 Vista, I remember when when this site 29:37 came out, Alta Vista came out, it was 29:39 the first good search engine and it had 29:43 categories like Yahoo. It had it had 29:44 some of Yahoo and some of what became 29:47 Google in it. 29:52 People are still talking about Google 29:54 Deep Mind hiring a philosopher. 30:08 Let's go play with uh MidJourney 8.1 30:12 came out. Remember when MidJourney 8 30:14 came out and I went and played with it 30:16 and it sucked? 30:21 Um, but I don't think it's in here. Oh, 30:23 yeah, it is. Okay, there's 8.1 early 30:26 access. 30:39 All right, 30:42 let's go to create. 30:46 You're all seeing this, right? We're 30:47 good. 30:50 I use that a lot. What did you use a 30:52 lot, Silver Fox? 30:55 Um 30:56 70s muscle car restood 31:03 in an abandoned 31:06 factory. When I did this the last time, 31:09 it was atrocious. We'll just We'll just 31:12 leave it at that. 31:14 We'll see how it does. 31:17 Oh, wait. This added mood boards. Why 31:19 did it add mood boards? 31:22 Do I have to turn those off? 31:26 That's weird. 31:28 Oh, yeah. You got to turn them off. 31:38 Wait. 31:48 Oh, I see. Just uncclick them. 31:53 Weird. 31:58 All right, let's go look at these are 31:59 the ones that had mood boards. That 32:02 looks pretty good. 32:04 That actually looks really good. 32:07 That 32:10 hard to tell. 32:14 That I like. 32:20 That's cool. 32:22 That's pretty bitching. 32:25 Let's turn one of these into a video. 32:28 That one. Yeah. Let's turn that one into 32:29 a video. 32:31 We'll do high motion. 32:36 And then we'll do that one low motion. 32:56 It It understands what a restood is, 32:59 which is cool. 33:18 Wonder if we could start with an image. 33:20 Let's see. What program do you use to 33:22 add text 33:24 to add text lyrics to your song? I use 33:27 Cap Cut, but it keeps failing. 33:30 Um I just inso you can download um you 33:35 can download a video 33:39 otherwise I've used dscript to do that. 33:42 Um 33:45 I think even Tik Tok does it. I think 33:47 you can add lyrics in Tik Tok. Tik Tok 33:50 has its own 33:54 word thing. 33:59 All right, here's our videos. 34:02 Why is it not rolling? 34:10 Let's go. Um, 34:13 wait, how do I rerun this? more options 34:18 using prompt. 34:24 So, let's go back to this and we'll go 34:29 loop 34:31 animate manually. Here we go. Start 34:34 frames of that. 34:41 Period. 34:44 Engine starts. 34:48 Car rolls 34:50 away. 34:53 Okay. 34:57 And then let's go look at this one. 34:59 Yeah, they're still not 35:26 All right. What are we going to do here 35:27 tonight? Let's see what other features 35:30 do we have. filters, 35:33 grid view, conversational mode. 35:37 Let's get started. 35:49 Grid view. 36:10 It's not rolling. They're not rolling. 36:14 Nobody's driving the car. All right. I 36:17 don't know what's going on. 36:20 Let's go. 36:28 Try style. 36:48 All right. 36:50 So, we're going to go here. We're going 36:51 to go um Chrome. 36:55 Oh, these are cool. Okay. 36:58 So, what I'm doing right now is I'm in 37:00 in style, 37:03 what are they called? Styles in 37:05 midjourney. 37:07 So, I'm just going to keep my same 37:08 shitty 70s restood prompt and I'll just 37:11 try some styles. 37:19 So, that was Chrome. Let's look at um 37:22 auto. 37:25 Oh, that's cool. 37:55 H. Well, that one's cool. 37:59 That's cool. 38:01 That's cool. 38:04 Actually, that's cool. All right. There 38:06 were some cool ones there. Let's do um 38:09 wheels. 38:32 Actually, you know what would be cool? 38:33 Let's Let's try something here. Let's go 38:35 back to create. We'll go look at all 38:37 those. But I want to do a new prompt. I 38:39 want to do illustration 38:43 of 38:49 a cute 38:51 hedgehog 38:55 sitting on a soccer ball. 39:06 in a field 39:09 with 39:11 people playing 39:16 in the background. 39:24 Wide angle 39:27 puffy clouds in the sky. 39:32 Okay. 39:36 So, here's going to be the experiment 39:37 I'm going to try to do. What art style 39:40 was the AHA video 39:43 take on me drawn? 39:47 I don't know. Sorry for all the 39:49 questions. I've had too much sugar 39:50 today. Okay. So, here we've got 39:54 hedgehog. Let's let's get our style 39:57 going here. We'll do stylization of 40:00 We'll do 250. We'll do weirdness at 20 40:06 19. 40:07 And then what I'm going to do, 40:11 yeah, what I'm going to do is I'm going 40:14 to go to explore. I'm going to do draw. 40:20 And so what I'm going to try to do is 40:22 get I'm going to try to get as many 40:26 pictures of a hedgehog on a soccer ball 40:28 that do not look like they're AI 40:29 generated as possible. 40:33 So let's do let's do pencil. 40:41 So, I'm just going to pick um 40:45 styles that feel like 40:50 they could feel organic. 40:53 These all feel a little slick. 40:57 They feel a little slick, people. That 41:00 one looks good. 41:05 That looks interesting. 41:08 Here's one with hands in it. 41:51 That was cool. 41:54 Um, let's do 41:57 drawing. 42:08 Let's do sketch. 42:23 Oh, that's cool. 42:32 ink. 42:41 That one. 42:47 Champy, what's up? Why did you come back 42:49 in here if you didn't want to be in 42:51 here? 42:52 Are you just being a pain in the ass, 42:55 huh? 42:57 You just being a pain in the ass. Is 42:59 that what's going on here? 43:02 >> Yeah. 43:05 Are you a miserable doggy? Are you a 43:08 miserable doggy? 43:10 All right. 43:13 All right. Those are those are all 43:15 drawn. Okay.

Uh oh, my light just went out. 44:21 That looks 44:24 That looks analogish. 44:28 That could pass. 44:34 This guy's got three arms. 44:40 All right. This 44:45 I like that it's got that dark paper 44:49 and it doesn't look like a great 44:50 drawing. 44:53 That's pretty slick. 44:58 This looks non AI. 45:02 That looks 45:08 They're not bad. That one's cool. 45:13 Here's color. 45:50 That one looks super analog. 45:54 Pretty slick. 46:16 These look analog 46:20 Japanese. 46:25 Yeah. My mid Journey is chuck full of 46:27 other artists work. 46:34 That's how they do what they do. All 46:37 right, go to create. 46:39 Let's go back to our cars. 46:43 See what we got to look at. 46:49 Pretty cool. 46:52 Like that. 46:55 Oh, this one of the chrome ones.

Let's upscale that one. 47:12 We'll upscale. 47:16 Wait, where's upscale? 47:20 Oh, I guess it already made it big. 47:50 Reflecting 47:52 on the Hey, 47:57 that was pretty funny. Come on. You got 47:59 to admit that was pretty funny. No, no 48:02 one. All right. 48:05 All right. Listen, I'm crispy. Let's 48:08 see. The one with three limbs could have 48:09 been an RTA in an RTA.
