First AI content project
First experiment in AI content production
A simple-ish project to explore the popular myths around our new interstellar visitor known as 3i/Atlas. There is a body of opinion on the fringes of the science community that suggests an outside chance of this object being artificial and under direct or initial intelligent control. Most of this speculation is based on two things, its interstellar origin (only the third such object ever observed) and that it appears to be on a very unusual sight-seeing trajectory with close passes of some of the most significant planets in our solar system.
The video project was based on research conducted by Google’s Gemini Deep Research feature which I asked to create a detailed report on the artificiality hypothesis and to refute this with solid scientific facts about 3iAtlas. This created a very impressive 13 page report in three minutes, following a deep analysis from the web.
I then fed to report into the new NotebookLM tool which then created this remarkable audio discussion between two people – the audio you hear is completely artificial and I find this to be very impressive but also a little scary. I then simply made the video by running the audio through the FFMPEG waveform generator in Linux CLI and adding in one of my own photos of the night sky over my village. The video wasn’t even compiled in an editor.
These are very much baby steps on the AI content ladder and next projects will involve video generation of characters in conversation and much more refined (multi pass) research and hopefully with a bit of human input from myself. These will be part of the content inventory on my new upcoming YouTube channels called “Mind Aside” and “Eyebionics”. Both of which are going to have overall current affairs, culture, science and general interest themes.
