AI Creativity Chronicles​
Making Marketing Fun Again,
One Week at a Time

She’s Not Real, But the Creativity Is.

If AI tools are evolving at lightning speed — and they are — then creative marketers have two choices:

🛑 Hesitate and get left behind
🚀 Or experiment boldly and stay ahead of the curve

I chose option 2.

Meet Abigail, my new AI-generated spokeswoman:

​

She’s not just a gimmick. She’s a living experiment in what’s now possible with:

  • ChatGPT (for script co-writing & image prompt)
  • Ideogram (for her look)
  • ElevenLabs (for her voice)
  • HeyGen (for the lip sync video)
  • Riverside.fm (for the captions)

Yes, it’s a little weird.
Yes, it’s a little wonderful.
And, it’s exactly the kind of exploration that today’s AI-powered creativity demands.

Creating Abigail wasn’t about perfection — it was about play, experimentation, and learning by doing.

Please let me know, would you like a "how she was made" tutorial video? If there's enough demand, I'll make one.

And for sure, she's a taste of what’s coming in my next course:

From humor to hyperrealism, this new AI video shows just how fast—and fun—the future is arriving.

AI Creativity ChroniclesMaking Marketing Fun Again, One Week at a Time Video. Production. Transformed. Only the truth is funny, so the reality of how AI is transforming video & film production is best underscored by funny video storytelling. The hilarious parody of video/film production below shows & tells a ton about the revolution that's happening in the world of AI video (and it's a lot less scary than last week's clip 😆.) It bears repeating that this isn’t stock footage or some kind of...

AI Creativity ChroniclesMaking Marketing Fun Again, One Week at a Time Prompted. Performed. Unbelievable.
