This is a brief overview of some of the things I am actively working on. I will update these to their own sections in time, but need to complete some additional sites first.
There are a lot of ways to do this these days. Both locally and online with a ton of models to choose from. I have been working with AI Image generation since around 2021. Back then I mostly did my work offline using a home lab. I used applicati0on like ComfyUI and Automatic111 in addition to using various tools for model training and Lora training.
This can be very helpful in things like replacing or removing objects from images, replacing faces in images, adding items to images, removing background, upscaling, outpainting, inpainting, ect. Its like a Pandora’s box and has already changed how professionals edit photos and generate commercial assets.

This has come a long way, I’ve played with this for quite some time and started locally using tools like Deforum and Aniatediff. Nowadays there are a ton of services that can do even better in a fraction of the time. I remember when 3 seconds of video generation was impressive. We have blown way past that.

If you use a video generation service a lot like Kling, but don’t want to pay the monthly fees just to generate your videos, other services, like KREA can use the API to do this. It can save you a bit of money and prevent you from having another subscription cost. Be warned though, not all features are always available via API.
I have produced music traditionally for most of my life. I have experience with many DAWs, and can play a few instruments. Ive released music for many years and it all changes with AI. Most of the tracks I had released in the past had no vocals, as i am not a singer and have had no desire to be. It has been a big obstacle when creating music for many years. Now with AI, i can take my Lyrics and music ideas and work with the various tools to create full tracks in a fraction of the time it used to take. Still relying on my songwriting and base audio ideas, but seeing them flushed out much faster. I have released quite a few albums in the last couple years with AI. I feel that if you’re not at least learning it now, your going to fa
ll behind. You can find some of my AI Music work over at my project “Zobocopy” on Soundcloud.
This is another thing you want to make sure you have commercial licensing for especially if you are going to release tracks publicly.
After working in Corporate IT for a long time I wanted to work with a smaller group and work with small businesses. This got me into web development. I excelled here and worked with small clients just trying to have a presence, to large clients with a presence all over the world. I’ve built sites for your local dentist as well as sites for the fire industry and some sites for companies that are larger than I could have imagined. I’ve also helped many different companies in their e-commerce needs from small to very large and robust catalogues. Some clients get an order a day, some get an order a minute. The knowledge I’ve gained here has given me a lot of skills I’ve used for myself, but also for friends who have needed web help and I have done some consulting here and there. Many may seem its as easy as buying a template, but few consider all the pieces that need to go into place. In my time in web development, the amount of sites missing the bare minimum and feeling half completed is alarming.
There is a lot of hate for AI media creation right now and I get it, but have seen it before. Being ive made music and been in tech for so many years, i’ve seen technologies come in a disrupt things. Things like DAWs, AMP sims, Software synths, and sampled Virtual Instruments all rang a similar tone to what we are seeing with AI. People just upset that the way they know how to do something is no longer as rare as it used to be. People have to understand that sometimes people just want to create, and express themselves. THere should not be a paywall or talent block for this. Also, its ironic that the complaints about AI happen online, on social networks, and from people advanced touch interface phones.
