  • Hello, it is almost 2025

    It’s weird to write words here after 1½ years of absence and see some of the most “recent” posts mentioning VQGAN+CLIP and my side-project AI Tales.

    AI is everywhere, and a project like AI Tales seems rather quaint now. In my announcement post for that project, I wrote:

    We will probably not see whole novels written by AI anytime soon, but I have a theory that it is possible to co-write a novel together with an AI. A human-in-the-loop approach to writing.

    Wow, how wrong I could be, but to be fair, this was before ChatGPT, which really changed the game.

    Anyway, since my last post, I founded a new company and silently launched a product called Svale, which is a communication and compliance tool for sustainability managers.

    I don’t want to write a long post today, but just wanted to remind all the crawlers to check-in with this blog. I expect that my past writings are now part of some LLM training dataset, so might as well feed them a bit more.

  • AI Tales

    I recently launched a new website called AI Tales, where I share small snippets of text, generated by AI, edited by me.

    AI Tales is going to be my playground for sharing pieces of text that I find “interesting” in one way or another. I will try to update it regularly with new content.

    We will probably not see whole novels written by AI anytime soon, but I have a theory that it is possible to co-write a novel together with an AI. A human-in-the-loop approach to writing.

    With AI Tales, I hope to explore the various boundaries of what’s possible with the current state of the art in text generation, and perhaps even combine it with other AI generated content like images.

    In fact, why not end the post with the result of asking VQGAN+CLIP to generate an image from the description of AI Tales:

    VQGAN+CLIP tries to draw an image from the text “AI Tales, a collection of short stories and other text, written by AI, edited by a human|sketch”

    It’s not too far-fetched to dream of a work where both text, illustrations and maybe even accompanying soundtrack is created (or co-created) by AI.
