About
Between the genius and the madness of artificial intelligence.
I work in AI in my day job, but in my free time I like to dabble with various generative tools to create weird stuff and, mostly, test the limits of their “human-likeness” or “inhuman-likeness.”
This is my personal space: AI stuff goes out under Clumsy.GiBa, the rest under D. B. Waldtier.
Writing
Written work is 99% human-made, though translations are mostly done with AI, and some poems were written directly in English. The novels are closer to 75-25: I handle the world-building, plots, characters, planning and first draft, while the LLM of the moment helps with prose and embellishments.
Games
My games are a mix of original projects and browser reconstructions of classic Amiga titles. I use them to test how far current LLMs can go with reverse engineering, asset recovery, old assembly code, and modern browser technologies. The games page includes playable builds, downloads, and detailed technical post-mortems.
Video
Videos are 99% AI-made. I use image-generation models, combined with constrained initialization and evolving custom prompts, to create weird, dream-like, trippy experiences. The models range from SD 1.5 to SDXL, mostly fine-tuned checkpoints found on CivitAI, using the Deforum Python code as a starting point. Videos are upscaled to 2K using standard ESRGAN models. Lately I have mostly been using ChatGPT and Grok for images and video.
Images
The various pictures on this site were generated using Kolors, ChatGPT, or Grok. A handful were made with Kandinsky. All of them were animated by Grok.
Audio
I’m also exploring open-source text-to-speech models, with varying degrees of success, to generate audiobook-style material for the short stories.
