🚀 Think AI Creativity is One-Click? Think Again! 🌟


Major Misconception: creating with AI is just a one-and-done thing where you push a button and get a result. Not true! For example, as documented below, this sensational music video is entirely AI-generated (including the music) and it took at least 9 different apps to achieve the artist's vision.

I'm fascinated by creating images and videos using AI and realize that most people hardly know what's happening in this explosive new creativity arena. Just in the image generation realm, there are at least five different apps that I've been experimenting with, all of which generate different kinds of results. Part of learning this medium is understanding which tool is right for which job.

Another recent playful experiment is this video (without sound). It was generated from the AI avatar version of myself that I created with Midjourney a while back. Yesterday, I fed that still image to the new Chinese generative video app, Kling (which is currently free to use), and got this result:

Where are the rest of you in relation to all these new kinds of creativity?

In case you're interested, this is the source of the music video above showing the mash-up of apps he used to create it:

Coming soon: New creativity framework mini-course, and I'm also exploring the use of custom GPTs for brand voice development to support content marketing. Stay tuned!

Happy creating!
