Wigs In Space

A few weeks ago I was playing with AI image generation, and ended up writing a parody sci-fi serial around some of the pictures. I made some more images to fit specific scenes, which was rather more difficult, and posted the result as Wigs In Space on Tumblr — perhaps not the best place for it, but I already had an account and the posting format was suitable. I had fun making this thing, but have had enough of AI for now. I enjoyed it more as a toy than a tool, as it seems to have no understanding of 3D space or individual objects. (ETA: I now know that it has no understanding of anything at all; it doesn’t have concepts and therefore can’t manipulate them, i.e. it doesn’t think. Its intelligence is artificial as in imitation, like plastic food. Given that, AI’s illusion is remarkable and its limitations unsurprising.)

Anyway, here’s Wigs In Space episode 1, with links to the other episodes.
