The War Waged Between AI and the Human Spirit #shorts
Over the past 3 years - I have thought a lot about
the Human Element.
Since September of 2022,
I have taught Creative Professionals
how to understand and integrate
GenAI in their Creative Workflow
while retaining the Human Element.
As my good friend Josh Cavalier said,
"The beauty of integrating AI into our work is that it complements what we already know. When you are ready to dive in, AI will be more accessible, user-friendly, and tailored to meet professionals exactly where they are."
AI is an amplifier.

ChatGPT to Enhance the Creative Process
Incredible!
Why the coitusing coitus would i do that?
The video description is misleading. What you described as "Music producer notes" does not have anything with music production. Asking AI to create you music based on copyrighted material is not music production.
The "Music producer notes: Detailed instructions on how to recreate the sound of classic radio jingles for platforms like Udio and Suno." is very much on point with what was done. Note the details... 'how to recreate the sound of classic radio jingles.' Nothing misleading there!
@@theBrianSykes what i’ve meant is that what you described as “music production” is not music production. You would not call yourself a music producer if the only thing you did is asked ai tool to “create” some generic soulless combination of sounds.
@Pixel_Track you give the tool instructions and ir produces music, but its not music production because you are used to a fixed way of producing music lol People are really getting mad at AI just because it can do cool things...
@@Achaa2 do you understand why people are getting mad at AI "just because it can do cool things"? In short - people dedicate their careers to get really good at at something, whether it is composing, drawing, design and so on, and than AI bros are like - you don't need any knowledge whatsoever, here is a couple of buttons, just press it and you will get the result. Screw AI, and screw those who does not understand what damage they are causing. I am glad that at least for now the result of AI music is complete garbage.
@Pixel_Track - but you DO need knowledge, and coming to the AI platforms with insight sets you ahead of the rest. AI is an amplifier. It simply brings to life the ideas the Art Director instructs it to produce. In this, I am just showing the rough “how to” so people see the step-by-step. I personally play trumpet, saxophone, a little flute, guitar and piano. I also sing and can read and write music. Doesn’t make me a producer, but I can bring skill to the task. AI brings more of you to the production. Yeah, some of the latest AI adventures are a step behind, but not for long. Those who understand the language of photography, painting, music production, sound design, architects, etc - will find that their hard earned skills are VERY valuable in AI. After all, it is a language based system.
Can only get better, but clearly not quite there yet.
For jingles - and using the limited versions of these AI tools - they are fun to play with, but clearly not up to the level of human capability. Great for sparking imagination and stirring the creative juices though!
I love this. I create AI videos and I wanted to start a youtube channel to share but a radio channel. Brillant! Love it.
The fun is being inspired and being motivated to explore your own creative outlets. Awesome that you are already exploring AI - and AI Videos are a fantastic way to dive deep into creative storytelling!
So well articulated, and this needs consistent reminding. Thank you for the detailed insights.
Great video! No trolling, but I'd love to see what would happen if you just wrote "man with turban in sand" just to see the difference in quality. Maybe I'll have to see if some of my friends have midjourney so I can try it lol
Midjourney will create 'great looking images' with a minimal prompt. The problem then - is consistency for story. A more in-depth prompt following this structure, will give you greater control for an image series, or images as part of a collection.
@@theBrianSykes Thank you so much for the honest answer. That makes a lot of sense :)
Very interesting and great at explaining, but I have a question. Are the 6 final images consecutive? Let me clarify: once the first one is created, when making the second one, in addition to changing part of the prompt, do you also use the first one as an Image prompt or Style ref or Character ref?
Great question @stefanotramer1195 No, I did not have to use a --SREF or --CREF to maintain consistency. That is done by maintaining the same prompt and only adjusting token words to shift angles, subjects, etc. You can use a --CREF in the case of making the character consistent - but I only used the one prompt to see a front facing character.
@@theBrianSykes Ah, okay, the problem is that I would like to use a character for a series of photos (which I then turn into a video), but from what I’ve read online, it’s quite complicated to have the same character in different poses and expressions in MidJourney, even if you use `--cref`. This is because MidJourney tends to maintain roughly the same perspective as the photo used with `--cref`. You would need to intervene in an editor... or use multiple poses, but for me, that’s quite challenging.
that conversation you had with the two "podcasters" is the craziest thing I've ever hear. will definetely hae to give this a try
So - did you have a chance to dive in, and explore the platform? If so - what did you think?
@@theBrianSykes waiting for the right opportunity. like a big research paper or something
I'm a huge fan of using NotebookLM to generate podcasts for me to listen to - I give it some sources (though most online sources you need to copy/paste text) and let it generate a podcast about it. Using it on mobile is pretty irritating, but is what it is.
Mobile is not the best for using the platform, but I really like how helpful it can be from a laptop/desktop access.
"Nobody Is Talking About" this because there is nothing here worth talking about. You took over 14 minutes to talk about yourself with actual content that could've been stated in one sentence. AMAZING!!! SHCKING!!! SCIENTISTS CAN'T EXPLAIN!!!!
Thanks for the AMAZING!!! SHOCKING!!! feedback! Fun fact: I actually own and write all the content discussed in the video - it's from my Substack (theAILab.substack.com) where DAILY I help people use AI tools effectively. But hey, if you found a way to explain NotebookLM's interactive mode, multi-file processing, and practical applications in one sentence, you should start your own channel! I'd genuinely love to learn that superpower. 😉
i just recently discovered it. it's been amazing so far
I have genuinely enjoyed it!
Does it only work on white?
No, not white or gray will give you good contrasting highlights and shadows. Colors (when you work with those) will tint the color overlay with a solid color. Give a try.
Awesome lesson. Thanks Boss!
My pleasure! I am SO glad it was useful!
Thank you so much ❤❤ that was so helpful ❤❤ can you please provide the prompt 🙏
Thank you for the video. Where we can have access to the ChatGPT prompt to summarize the videos?
open.substack.com/pub/theailab/p/discover-the-hidden-power-of-ai-learning
Not only is Ai great for accelerating workflows. Is great for your personal education. For me ChatGPT is the greatest place to learn. You can ask anything and do follow up questions in Real-Time. Better than any online forum. Thank you Brian because this goes with my experience with Ai
Thank You, Brian!!! Lots of great information
You are super welcome!

Can u add instructions to the characters?? Where do u normally upload these podcasts, free n accessible ?
Not yet able to add instruction to the characters - I wish! As to uploading the podcasts - I have not uploaded any AI generated podcast for my purposes - but I recommend using something like Spotify to share your podcast if you decide to create one!
Hi, i LOVE this tutorial. Can you please explain to me what you mean when you say "reverse out"? (7:10) what shortcut keys should I use for this? (I use Mac). I cant wait to try this, but im stuck on thia step! Please help 😊
Select the mask and press "Command - I" • or • Image > Adjustments > Invert
@AI.Explore thank you so much. I'm currently updating my Mac to version 2024. I have 2022 right now. Will this technique work on people portraits too or strictly just nature?
@@beverlylor9829 it will work with anything you bring into Photoshop! (Sorry for the delay in responding - RUclips does not alert me each time I get a message - unless I am in the app).
@AI.Explore that's OK! I'm excited to hear this, I just updated my Mac and I'm eager to test this out. I'll keep you posted on the results!
Great video. Is this free? And shoutout to my hometown Charlotte Hornets!
Kive is a subscription based solution. FREE for anyone to try, and $12/mo for a Pro Subscription. NC is a pretty awesome state!
Nice explanation sir thank you
You are very welcome. Sometimes the key is not a word-for-word translation - but often more importantly - figuring out 'What do I need to know?'
Very good video and explanation. Hard to imagine you hadn't used the program a lot before making your videoi.
Thanks a lot. I was wondering if anyone caught that - it was genuinely a fresh go at the application.
I need to use firefly wayyyy more often!
It works BEST in a REFERENCE process. Style Reference and Structure Reference will give you the best results.
I need to look up those words he said. sounded like mumbo jumbo
They were. The poem is mostly made up words that Lewis Carroll used. Many of his 'made up words' are what Carroll described as 'portmanteau words' (a phrase he coined). A portmanteau is “a case or bag to carry clothing in while traveling, especially a leather trunk or suitcase that opens into two halves.” Carroll took that and applied it to words, and a portmanteau word is a word that has been made by blending two words together. Think brunch (breakfast and lunch), smog (smoke and fog) and spork (spoon and fork). Examples in his poem - frumious (a mix of fuming and furious), slithy (lithe + slimy), galumphing (gallop + triumph), frabjous (fabulous + joyous) and mimsy (miserable + flimsy)
its free but you still must have credit card number (june 2024)
dumb
At the 7:30 mark I assume you just hit save then transferred to the next screen. When I hit save I don’t go to that next screen you did. How did you get to the screen at 7:34? Thanks!
@Paulkaiser - sorry about the "blip"... to see this in your app, once you "SAVE" your color palette - navigate to: LIBRARIES. The last file you created should be at the top. Click on that folder and it will expand to reveal all the color palettes inside. Click on the one you want - and it opens up showing what you see at the 7:30 mark. [PS - Adobe modified the flow just a bit, so it took me a second to see how / where it opened up.] Hope that helps!
With video, It will be much more than a storytelling studio aimed at small niches. We will have the power to (easily) create vídeos for blog posts, for instance. And I think it could also be a VSL tool for ads. For me, today, Katalist looks like a tool for "Hollywood pros" to present their ideas. With video, the tool will be more helpful for more people. At least, I hope so ;)
We are already getting to these things with Video. Runway 3 + Midjourney + ElevenLabs + ... the workflow requires creative pros and imagination.
Professional storyboarder here. I can see this affects my business quite a lot. Client demands will increase, schedules will decrease, and prices for my services will drop.
Not if you don’t reveal the tool to your clients. They don’t need to know your process, they just need to know your output.
@internationalicon - you have valid concerns, because change IS on the horizon. But, your skills are NOT invalidated. In fact - they are going to be MORE in demand than ever. Even with "every person a photographer" with the advent of a SmartPhone (and large pixel cameras in your pocket) - we still needed the eye, the composition, the lighting, and the know-how of professionals to take the intentional portraits. Don't gauge the sell/value of your services based on the speed of output, the manner it is achieved - your VALUE is the STORY, the STRUCTURE, the nuanced DETAILS that people would not think to include. The complete connection from A to B with visual storyboards. Sell the solution. Provide the solution. Give the thing that others do not...
@@theBrianSykes oh, believe me, I understand your point. I teach at a university, and I’ve given the same lecture. But I can point to my own bottom line and see the reality. Everyone has seen movies and thinks they know how they work. You and I know they need skilled people on the job, but they don’t know that.
@@theBrianSykes that’s a fact, output of quality vs quality is a thing! If you don’t speak the language of that practice, and know your technical techniques… you’ve done nothing but reinforce your ignorance with tools.
how do you perceive the drawback for this application for now? i don't see their consistency and uniqueness on image
is this Free App
There is a FREE plan available. Generate AI images for free! 100 credits/month 4mins Video from Story Studio or 2mins Video from Video Studio
the worst app to create a consistent character!!!
Based on the time-frame - it was definitely one of the BEST almost a year ago. I would push you towards Pimento.design if you want the latest 'best'!
They're not finished. There are still a few parameters you can use in Discord that don't have a point-and-click interface in the web app.
You are correct. Even this many months later - there are a number of parameters that we have to manually enter... but that is okay to me and how I use it.
Thank you for this demo.
You are very welcome @nancypark4430
I would love to give tou a commision to make one for my book, but i need to know how safe it is for me to get one without copywritht issues.
The copyright law covers work that has 'human hand engagement' - meaning - as I edit and work with the files - cutting, editing, repurposing... this becomes a new work. As to video - everything about the video is human hand engagement.
its interesting and a bit creepy when I saw mine
"Oak & Ash" is a fabulous name for a Country music duo!!
It took 6 days
What took 6 days?
Or you could learn color therory instead of relying on machines for inspiration
Why thank you! I do know color theory, but I appreciate your feedback that feeds the system to encourage more views. Keep them coming!
Failed artist steals other people's work. How unoriginal.
Seems I have gained a fan. Glad you decided to watch and leave a comment. Technically, RUclips doesn't care if the comments / views are in frustration or excitement - but that's okay. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!
You really do this for a job? Do you really have no moral problems with what you're pushing? Absolutely disgusting.
This sucks. Make real music you scammer.
SO you have to pay and its not offline... NO THANK YOU! All this opensourced software that doesn't require credits.. and this is what you present?
Feel free to create your own videos!! Share the link so I can see and comment...
Wow, how does that work
so do I understand this right, if you want to create the actual video out of the slides you need to pay additional money?
I love how that part was clearly explained in the video.
Wow, cool tech, its like Stable-Diffusion combined with project management capabilities of something like Studio-Binder. Loved the tool and the presentation.
Thanks! The tech is advancing rapidly.
Can I use this tool to create graphic novels ? Like a comic book but for a story such as the one in your demo? Please share any ideas to help me
Yes, you could. It would provide you with initial images but you would need to download the images and compose them in some other application.
what happened to your original story??
Not sure I follow you... the 'original story' was concepted just to show the tool of Katalist.
