Creating AI Videos and Raising Kids

Creating an AI video is a lot like raising kids, or so I am told. Like a child, there is a beginning in creating an AI video, whether it is by conscious design or an accident. Next, both the AI and the child require some degree of instruction or latitude to develop.

The following are two child-rearing methods. Each is represented as a video created by separate AI instruction sets. So, you can be entertained by the two very short videos and you can learn how the AI “sees” and uses each set of instructions or commands.

Type One Child

The instruction set to create this video is

{
“scene”: {
“location”: “kitchen”,
“environment”: “a 5-year-old white boy is startled when his mother walks into the kitchen”,
“time_of_day”: “morning”
},
“camera”: {
“shot_type”: “medium”,
“angle”: “eye level”,
“motion”: “zoom in”,
“lens”: “50mm”
},
“lighting”: {
“style”: “window sunlight”,
“temperature”: “warm amber”,
“source”: “window sunlight”
},
“action”: {
“primary_subject”: “5-year-old white boy”,
“movement”: “the 5-year-old white boy is startled when his mother walks into the kitchen and sees him drawing a boat on the wall in crayon. The mother asks ‘What are you doing?'”,
“background_action”: “kitchen and appliances”
},
“tone”: {
“mood”: “suspenseful”,
“color_palette”: “muted daylight”
},
“sound”: {
“ambient”: “tense”
}
}

Type Two Child

The instruction set to create this video is

{
“scene”: {
“location”: “kitchen”,
“environment”: “a 5-year-old white boy smiles when his mother walks into the kitchen”,
“time_of_day”: “morning”
},
“camera”: {
“shot_type”: “medium”,
“angle”: “eye level”,
“motion”: “zoom in”,
“lens”: “50mm”
},
“lighting”: {
“style”: “window sunlight”,
“temperature”: “warm amber”,
“source”: “window sunlight”
},
“action”: {
“primary_subject”: “5-year-old white boy”,
“movement”: “the 5-year-old boy is giggling when his mother walks into the kitchen and sees him drawing a boat on the wall in crayon. She says, ‘What a good boy!'”,
“background_action”: “kitchen and appliances”
},
“tone”: {
“mood”: “happy”,
“color_palette”: “muted daylight”
},
“sound”: {
“ambient”: “joy”
}
}

So, is this fun or educational? How were you raised, and how did you raise your kids?

This reminds me of one of my favorite movie lines about how tough life can be: “It is not fun, but it is educational.” You win a Kewpie doll if you know the name of the movie.
