This past year, I've had students explore how AI can turn suburban newspaper journalism into niche content, delivered by AI TikTok personalities. Excited to share 4 unique AI-driven takes on the same article, showcasing our range! #AI #Journalism #TikTok @knightlab

All of the examples use this article on rising tuition costs as the source material for a TikTok video. We created AI chatbot personalities and asked them to write us a voice script for a TikTok video.

The article referenced in the videos cbsnews.com/news/college-tui…
And just for fun, I made one in the style of David Attenborough narrating the article as if it were a nature documentary

Prompt-crafting is definitely a real thing. It's like learning to use a weird paintbrush made by robots from another dimension. #stablediffusion #aiselfie

It feels like a design system, or paintbrush but magical. It's equal parts exciting and scary but trying to stop this would be pissing against a tidal wave. I'm gonna surf 🏄

For some context, I'm running some projects in the @knightlab next quarter looking at automating the creation of editorial art for articles. studio.knightlab.com/project…
I've been daily posting these as my profile photo on Facebook. I've trained a #stablediffusion model on photos of me (and others😂). I can now generate AI selfies 🙌👀. It's prep for a journalism related @knightlab project next quarter.
