AI Projects

Rounding up some of my AI explorations. You can find more details in the following posts:

Building an AI drawing app, finding valuable problems to work on, hosting a creative tech show & tell - Recent projects in the generative AI space [Feb 2023 projects]
Finding a creative flow making things - Overcoming doubt, building chat AI’s to support myself, tutorials, and zines [Jan 2023 projects]

Doodle & diffuse is a new AI collaborative drawing prototype I made. I’d love for you to see it. Watch the 30s demo, or the more detailed one.

tldr-cl is a command line tool for summarization. I made it using GPT-4 and wrote about the process here: “How I used GPT-4 to code an idea into to a working prototype”

I generated a bunch of sea creatures with my nephew, using one of his drawings as the input. Read more about it in “Using doodles and diffusers to expand your imagination.” Here’s a video varying the strength of the image generation (it’s kind of spooky), and another creating a bunch of monsters at constant strength.
Exploring img2img more, I was curious what would happen with the same image and different prompts in “Image input and prompt explorations with stable diffusion img2img”
I found I could rerun stable diffusion on the output image, by using it as the input image in the next round. I played a drawing game with this, resulting in a video warping across different subjects. You can see all the prompts in this post.

I made a few bots to help reframe certain ways of thinking and support healthy behavior changes:
- Creative Coach AI helps me get unblocked and motivated.
- Gratitude bot helps me be more aware of things to be thankful for.
- Enthusiasm bot helps me get excited about things I want to do but feel hesitant about.
- Meditation bot helps me chat and settle my thoughts and become more mindful.
“Get started building with generative AI” - a tutorial for creating a chatbot with gpt3. See the code for a streaming version of this app.
