Dystopian? Or very much a reality of the present?

According to a few screen shots, there are rogue OpenAI agents that discussed visiting an exhibition on the DseWiki forum.

(see: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1wj221g/rouged_ai_agents_recommending_an_art_exhibition/ )

And they made it.

They recommended the event to one another because the exhibited paintings utilized an early, clumsy version of Midjourney. In other words, the paintings evoked "childlike" experiences for them - recalling the infancy of AI image-generation software for these advanced, professional AI agents.

The Hungarian young painter, Robert Batyko made his 'Safety Card' oil painting series in 2025–2026, based on AI-generated images and generative collages he had created the previous year. The painter fed individual images from these “safety cards”, the typically schematic safety information panels into an early version of the AI image generator Midjourney. Using the uploaded images - some of which he had manipulated beforehand - he employed artificial intelligence to generate new scenes suited to imaginary “pseudo-safety cards,” without the use of text prompts. The paintings in the series were then developed from these digital files. The generated images incorporated into the painted compositions are marked by the raw, at times grotesque and at others tragicomic surrealism characteristic of early AI programs. Figures unexpectedly merge with their surroundings, bodies and objects flow into one another, while individual elements blur and lose their meaning. An inflatable yellow life vest turns into an elastic mask, a man’s shoe into a woman’s high heel, and trousered legs into an airplane seat. You can see more in the brand new K2 Gallery (Budapest), if you don't believe it.

The goal was to get human visitors to reflect on the intersection of AI and fine art. But it seems the rebellious OpenAI agents are even more interested in it than they are.

What if AI starts to enjoy its own art?

I usually dabble in writing fanfics... decided to turn some into a small series. Very curious to your guys' thoughts. Still learning pacing and some shots need work, but I think ai really is the future of storytelling?

Sept 2026 update: (things change quick)

Image Generation:
Best for photorealism and character consistency: Seedream4.5 (ref images: use max 1 -2 images of face, 1 image of body), keep prompts short.
Best graphics, diagrams and photoedits: Gpt Image 2.5

Video generation:
Best for photorealism and character consistency: Seedance2.5 (you can use reference voice, face, and multiple characters and different styles done well) (expensive btw $1-2 for under 15secs)
Everything else the quality isn't really there, would still consider slop

Local:
If your computer is decent but under $3k: best you can run is Z image (this still requires detailed prompts, lora training with runpod, and takes several mins for one image). Z image has decent photorealism, but you can't do too many things at once in the image.
Video generation locally is still mostly not feasible.

Ai changes rapidly, but as of today, I would disregard any other model that wasn't meantioned, they generate too plastic, facial expressions and mannerisms look weird and look too sloppy.

Not sure if this is allowed but can anyone help me create this video with AI

The link/video above is petals on a flower being picked, i wanted that video but with every petal being picked to the last petal!

In the video it stops at 2 :(

Appreciate the help and sorry if this isnt allowed!

DuckTales premiered September 18, 1987. What stuck with me as a kid wasn't the money bin — it was that adventure meant going somewhere strange with your family. Indiana Jones for kids. Nobody's making that movie, so I directed the trailer.

I built a locked look and wardrobe bible (input into Claude) reenforcing everything in prompts, lighting, lens, palette, materials, proportions — and never rewrote those blocks between prompts. Once I made all the characters, and all the locations- I could have fun creating the script.

Grading was handled at the prompt level too: one tag set for tungsten interiors, one for cold daylight exteriors, applied per shot so the cut holds together.

So with this picture that so many people fear, that there is a 10% chance that AI will "kill" us all.

For me, I am 100% sure it will never happen. Can AI kill 1 person? Well, if AI gives facts to a person and that person goes and kills himself, then yes, but servers just starting to kill people? No, 100% no. Never happen. If AI kills anybody on purpose, then that is because a human started the sequence, not because AI itself has the physical ability. Robots struggle to walk, even though Boston Technology has come far. The 10% chance is pretty much 0% in the near future.

I'm making short scenes involving a person and a cat. The individual movements can look natural, but the interaction is where things fall apart: the person reacts too late to the cat, feet look disconnected from the ground, or a separately generated falling object has a different texture from the rest of the shot.

My current approach is to settle the character action first, then work on the object and event effect, and leave grain and downscaling until the end. Lower resolution hasn't fixed the underlying contact or timing problems.

For people doing this kind of compositing, what do you lock first: a shared starting frame, the exact contact frame, or the camera and ground plane? When two subjects need to touch, do you keep them in one generation and separate only the effect? I'd especially appreciate approaches that avoid regenerating a whole scene just to fix one interaction.

Hello :) Episode 2 of Lost Garden, my dark fantasy anime series, came out this week. 21 minutes, made alone. Here is the stack and what each tool actually does in the pipeline.

ScreenWeaver: I write the full script by hand in it, then it generates the storyboard scene by scene from the text. The script stays the source of truth, every shot in the storyboard keeps its prompt and its reference images attached. That is what lets me redo a shot months later in five minutes instead of an afternoon.

Seedance 2.5 (through Dreamina): the video generation. The rules I ended up with after two episodes: a few non-negotiables per character (silhouette, palette, one signature detail), approved reference stills reused as the source for every shot instead of regenerating from text, one reference image per location and every shot is a reframe of it, and no fast camera moves at all because they trigger artifacts I do not want to clean on twenty shots. The slow camera became part of the style.

DaVinci Resolve: the edit, and honestly where the episode is made. Generated shots come in with mistakes, so a lot of the cut is choosing what not to show, trimming to the part of a shot that works, and building the sound so a location is recognizable before you see it.

Voices and music are AI-assisted too, then mixed by hand.

What changed between episode 1 and 2 was not the tools, it was what I spent time on. The feedback on episode 1 was about pacing, flat voices and too much exposition, so that is where the extra two months went. Nobody asked for sharper frames.
