Getting Started with Generative AI: Recent Episodes

Scot Pansing

This podcast contains brief episodes, each on a different tool or topic of generative artificial intelligence (AI). It is intended for people who wish to learn about generative AI and maybe even start to play with the tools, but haven’t taken a deep dive yet. There is a massive amount of information, YouTube videos, blog posts and articles on the topic, and maybe you find taking that first step a little daunting. Well now you can get brief overviews and simple explanations of how to use the tools on the go, in your car, wherever you listen to podcasts.

AI generated video content is a lightning rod of a topic. There's a huge amount of negative sentiment, in part due the massive flood of "AI slop" infiltrating the Internet. I'm based in Los Angeles, and it feels like the vast majority of the creative community is viscerally opposed to generative AI. This is not surprising, considering that their labor environment is being disrupted, not to mention the fact that the technology could not exist without training on their content, which it did without consent or compensation. That being said, new technologies are always being inserted into production workflows, and this time is no different.

Johan Brandstedt, whom I interviewed in 2024, often describes the use of generative AI products and services as "commissioning" works, akin to giving a brief to an agency and waiting for their output. This analogy describes one way in which these products are used, where the process is merely prompting and expecting an output, perhaps even repeating the process many times to achieve the desired result. In a sense, is a movie director not "commissioning" the labor of all of the other laborers on a film, from the cinematographer to the actors, the costume designers, and so many more?

In this episode, I discuss the current landscape of AI video with Dev Walker, who uses the artist name GLUMLOT. I wanted to temporarily put aside my personal concerns, have an open mind, and learn something.

Note: I present video content in this episode, so it is probably better consumed on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Zoj7Dsuwck Creators presented:

In this episode I explain what the heck I am trying to achieve with this podcast, which is to provide introductory information about generative AI topics in short and sweet episodes. I don’t go too deep, but I plan to give enough information and tactics so that you can get started on your own. This episode covers chatGPT and Midjourney, two of the most popular generative AI tools right now. ChatGPT generates text output and Midjourney creates image output. I run down how easy it is to start playing with chatGPT and give examples of some things you can ask it to do, then dive into how to set up and start using Midjourney to create images.
