While others artists are suing AI engine companies, Peter Gabriel is embracing it. And the court will rise, while the pillars all fall comes from his new album i/o. The video was created by Junie Lau using various AI tech, including Stable Diffusion, ChatGPT, MidJourney, and DALL·E 2.
Ottockraft design shop makes a variety of metal sculptures you can buy and set up in your own home or garden. They have a decidedly polygon model feel. They’re not cheap, but maybe they’re cool enough for your house or business?
Twitch now has a whole channel now dedicated to AI generated content. These are channels that have completely auto-generated content. They started with simple, and very rough shows about nothing, proceeded on to Spongebob, and finally an AI Jesus.
These are programs that autogenerate EVERYTHING you see and here. They generate the dialog they say, they generate the actors voices, they generate the actors, movements, visuals, and scenes. Everything is automatically generated by AI.
One of the more interesting and new ones I’ve seen is Interactive AI Generated Star Trek. Created by just 4 people, this is one of the highest quality AI generated episodic content I’ve seen so far. It runs 24/7. There’s a more or less consistent story based on user submissions, moving (but fixed location) camera angles, autogenerated characters with movement, auto-generated voice audio, and good scene transitions between some fixed scene locations. Not only that, it’s interactive and you can help direct the action via chat commands like:
Is this the future of TV shows? The end of actors?
There is also a Youtube channel from Ray Creations.
Camillemormal creates some incredible web design effects. Some of which are incredibly cool; but also incredibly straightforward. It’s a great example of how art and engineering work together in really interesting ways – and those that can do both cleanly and simply are able to come up with mind-blowing stuff.
Not unlike the coding artistry of early video game programmers that squeeze crazy effects out of woefully inadequate hardware.
Here’s another example:
Need some royalty-free music or sound effects for your game or a video you made? Do you need a drum solo, ambient music, or other audio track to set the mood? TIME’s Best Inventions of 2023 list called out the Stable Audio AI music creator as such a tool to get music generated for free.
As an example of how good Stable Audio is, enter “Post-Rock, Guitars, Drum Kit, Bass, Strings, Euphoric, Up-Lifting, Moody, Flowing, Raw, Epic, Sentimental, 125 BPM” for a 95-second track – and the site will create audio like the results in this YouTube video. (It just generates the music, not any imagery)

The Sphere in Los Vegas has captured the world’s attention. Inspired by it, DrZzs & GrZzs made a replica in their backyard. Their 8-foot diameter mini-sphere has 20,028 RGB LED pixels and is driven by a Kulp 32 controller and xLights software.
world_of_engineering_75 shares this experience of 5D theatre. It has real fire effects that make you feel like the theater’s on fire. There’s very little information about where this highly dangerous attraction is located – but it is supposedly somewhere in China.
While somewhat cool – it’s realistic enough to be terrifying as fire often flashes over like this right before almost certain death for anyone in the room.
Fascinating Horror is a YouTube channel that tells the true stories behind real life disasters. It’s not a channel for the faint of heart as he covers some of history’s greatest disasters that often resulted in tremendous, and often terrifying, loss of life. If you ever wanted to know why OSHA exists, concert and sporting arena designs and safety crews are present, fire regulations, occupancy limits, building codes, and other government controls are in place at any place where people gather – this channel will show you why they say “Safety regulations are written in blood”
Alex Le Guillou made a clip for the documentary film “THE GIANTS, the story of Bob Brown and the forest. The project started in 2021 when he had the chance to illustrate the trees of Tasmania using Lidar data captured from the ground and by drone.
Welcome to the “Galactic Menagerie,” a whimsical and visually stunning fan-made AI generated fake trailer that reimagines the classic Star Wars universe through the eccentric lens of Wes Anderson. This mashup brings together iconic Star Wars characters with Anderson’s trademark symmetrical compositions, pastel color palettes, and quirky humor.
If you prefer, you can try out an earlier generated AI re-imagining of the cult movie Alien as a Wes Anderson film.
Or, you can take an AI generated film making course to make your own.
Hidreley Diao let curiosity get the best of him and he ask AI to render many animated household names in flesh and blood. He used Photoshop, FaceApp, Gradiente and Remini to create somewhat realistic images of well-known cartoon characters.
Here’s what AI came up with for The Simpsons. He also has given the AI treatment to some historical figures.
