The AI-generated photos, art, and animations I share are part of an ongoing learning process to better understand this technology's potential. I am experimenting across mediums – images, animation, coding, voice, music – with the goal of someday combining these skills into a personalized AI assistant and friend that can help improve lives.

Everything I post is created using free tools as I explore sustainable ways to leverage AI long-term. However, this endeavor requires significant investment of time, care, and computing resources. It took 3 months of dedicating over 12 hours a day to gain enough experience with AI image generation. Producing 20 seconds of animation can involve manually retouching 80-400 AI generated keyframes, which takes over 20 hours per video. Thousands result in failure due to technical limitations. Meticulous retouching and re-generating is essential to fix flaws.

The specialized GPU and electricity needed to power the AI generation are also costly. But for those with capable PCs, exploring AI art can become a rewarding hobby or career. If you want to learn more, I recommend sites like Civitai.com where people share AI models, prompts, and tutorials.

I share my progress not for quick gratification, but to inspire others to thoughtfully explore this technology's potential too. Meaningful work requires diligence. As the capabilities rapidly advance, there are ethical considerations as well. My aim is to listen, reflect, and guide AI towards good rather than harm.

I appreciate diverse perspectives and feedback. What are your thoughts on AI generation? How can we direct it towards creativity, compassion and community? There is so much potential still to unlock if we approach it with care.
