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. #AIcreativity,#MidJourney,#ChainOfCraft,#SydneyMusical,#GenerativeAI,#CreativeProcess,#AIArt,#DigitalInnovation Chapters: 00:00:00 Opening Musical Intro 00:05:39 Show Start Greetings 00:06:26 Theme Park Designers 00:07:35 Upcoming Travel Schedule 00:08:43 TikTok Tech Updates 00:10:05 Encore Presentation Start 00:12:06 Seven Economies Slide 00:12:59 The AI Arcade 00:15:15 Chain of Craft 00:16:31 Sydney Origin Story 00:18:00 Designing Physical Spaces 00:19:03 Sydney Musical Preview 00:23:08 AI Music Flooding 00:24:18 Adding Purposeful Friction 00:25:09 Experiencing AI Moments 00:27:20 Open Source Future 00:29:32 Searching Alta Vista 00:30:12 MidJourney Style Testing 00:34:01 Animating AI Images 00:38:39 Hedgehog Drawing Experiment 00:44:23 Seeking Analog Aesthetics 00:46:39 Chrome Style Results 00:48:19 Final Wrap Up

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. I'll be right back.
43:29 Get out.
43:32 What do you want? I don't have anything
43:34 for you. Get out.
43:53 All right, let's go look at our little
43:54 hedgehog drawings.
43:57 Yeah, let's do this one, too. That looks
43:58 cool. 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. Oh,
46:57 this is cool.
47:04 Huh?
47:06 Wow.
47:09 Love that one. 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. That's funny.
48:17 Um,
48:19 I got nothing resembling ideas for what
48:22 to do tonight and I'm tired. I've been
48:25 on screen a lot today.
48:29 So, I think what I'm going to do is
48:31 check on out. Um, what day is today?
48:34 Today's Wednesday. I don't think
48:36 anything's going on tomorrow salonwise,
48:38 but do head into the salon. Um, if you
48:42 haven't been there in a while, just go
48:43 in, connect, post in irregulars, post in
48:46 uh community feed, or look what I made.
48:48 I know uh Silverf Fox just put a song in
48:50 there that I haven't gotten to yet, but
48:52 I will. Um, all right. I'm going to get
48:55 out of here unless anyone has any
48:57 questions. Get some rest. Yeah, I'm
48:58 going to go get some rest. I'm going to
49:00 go sleep it off. All right, cool. Peace
49:04 out. I will see you tomorrow.
