Space-Themed AI Art

Although this may fall outside the primary subject matter, I am indeed familiar with them.

Hah, I meant them (stormtroopers) not you - never mind, it was a throwaway remark.

Meanwhile, the Force must be with these guys, because they keep surviving



(EDIT: turns out all these stormtrooper Vlogs are from the same source, but being re-posted under different accounts)

Everybody's an instant artist these days - we're now in an era of art-on-demand, with JIT delivery

And with it, we now have cognition-on-demand. Why aren't we generating spaceship-blueprints-on-demand?
What are the obstacles?

In principle, I should be able to generate the Deathstar on demand, using AI.
Building it would be a different matter, since I'd then need lots of AI-controlled bots for that.

A complete schematic of the Death Star has been published and is available on a YouTube video. However, when AI goes awry, it can generate a link to what may appear to be a home designer's joke on the Death Star Plans.

but here is a good starting point for the Deat Star plans:

Also, this quote:

An officer told his wife he was reassigned.

"Honey, I got a promotion. We're moving at the end of the month."

"Where to this time?"

"The Death Star."

"It sounds terrible."

I like these AI-narrated stories with accompanying AI-generated visual art




But does AI by default tend to give everything a generic look and feel?

At least it shows some atmosphere - if anybody has more like this, please post them

That was pleasant to watch, with very detailed monitors, large windows, a nice restaurant ambiance, and soothing music.  Like many looping videos used to calm and put you into a sleep mode, this video could be one of them.  Thanks for posting that.  I'm going through something right now that's stressful, and viewing this helps.

Cool - here's another one from the same channel/creator

For now its a baby

You realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk...

...just wait until the robot child learns how to paint, do film and make music



Why AI Art Sucks, From an AI Researcher

[sanman]

It's hard to call it "cookie cutter" in the conventional sense, but if you look at enough of these, it does feel somewhat procedural




Will enough exposure just make us go numb?

While various scenes seem to show a lot of detail, when you look at the detail more closely, it looks to be nonsense.



@ 4:16 we see even the curvature of the planet showing discontinuity

AI-generation can make scenes and objects that look "spacey" even while fudging a lot of the details

Like many long-playing scenery videos, this one serves as delightful eye candy and charming wall art for numerous professional offices. The soothing music helps transport you to a calming realm, making time fly by, even when your doctor is running over an hour behind schedule.

One time, I was reading a textbook studying for a highschool biology test the next day. Later that night, I was asleep dreaming, and I dreamt that I was still studying for the biology test. I was looking at the page of the open textbook, but as I peered more closely, something was wrong: my brain couldn't generate the necessary detail to reproduce the textbook and fool me. So, suddenly my dream began collapsing and I woke up.

Like our brains, AI may try to generate an art scene that looks plausible. We can look at these shots of spaceships that look stylish, so that we can appreciate them from a distance. But we're not yet getting that fractal complexity that can allow us to zoom in more closely to see more accurate details. It would even be nice to have the artistic look still rooted in physics.

Can Generative AI successfully marry form with function? Can it combine artistic style with physics for better plausibility?

So here's a strange one in regards to art and music and chatbots and interviews...well its getting difficult to now tell if anything is real or not, even the experts are having trouble. At the start it was just an idea Alan Turing in 1949 talked of a test where a machine would be intelligent enough to fool a person as to what is real or mimic human behaviors equivalent to that of a human, there was an explosion of AI 'creativity' recently or 'Art' depending on what you define as art, it started to make pictures some wondered if it was a human doing something creative or abstract and maybe it could be a machine? We already have keyboard DJ samples that can fool ears, Virtual Piano Keyboard Synth already had good enough samples to fool most ears if the music was a real instrument or not. Perhaps only a trained musician would hear the difference in sampled tones. China and the USA then recently discussed a treaty the dangerous of fooling people by mimics recently deceased 'Loved Ones' an ability of 'Reviving The Dead' of sorts. Maybe old people would be fooled by an artifical 'ghost' that would mimc a dead daughter or son, a wife or husband that recently died maybe as fraudsters or spiritualists would attempt to communicate with spirits but this time it would be your tv or phone talking to you pretending to be a 'ghost' in some kind of faker, scams or pseudo-science. Since the early 2020s,  large language models such as ChatGPT have passed modern, rigorous variants of the Turing test, all these AI software and art and chatbot artificial intelligence it was then cloning voices and doing 'comedy' making its funny videos go viral. It can now make images and video that can fool people in the real world and it can now make 'A Band' and people don't know if the musicians and instruments really exist.


You won't even know if that 'Space Rock', Popmusic, Blues, Rap, Alternative rock, Newwave,  Psychedelia,Progressive rock or 'Space music' is real anymore and from what I hear its also doing a pretty good job at mimicry of classical music


Richard "Rick" Beato has a social media video channel, he is an American YouTuber, music professional, and educator who has worked as a musician, songwriter, audio engineer and record producer since the early 1980

He was most famous for a viral video years ago with his son named Dylan who has 'perfect pitch'

So It Begins...Is This A Real Band Or AI?

In this episode I dissect a song by the band The Velvet Sundown that may or may not be AI, and discuss what this means for the future of music.

The various renders may be slightly inconsistent with each other (the beacon device looks different in each render) but they do all generally conform to the scene description:

Here is an AI-generated video on how Humans will populate Venus:

The First 10,000 Days on Venus (Colonizing the Yellow Clouds)

Jul 5, 2025
This is a sci-fi documentary looking at a timelapse of the first 10,000 days on Venus, and the colonization of the yellow planet. Showing the expanding colony over the years, the future science of space exploration, and future technology.

Personal inspiration in creating this Venus space mission video comes from: the movie Interstellar, The Expanse TV show, and Carl Sagan’s Cosmos TV show. 

Other topics in the video include: how could a Venus colony be built, how to float structures in Venus's dense atmosphere, the challenges of building on Venus such as the Sulfuric acid atmosphere and the strong wind, and what life would be like on a Venus floating colony.
