In the spirit of the diary remix idea, I ran an experiment where I used just the entries from March 4ths, created a lyric, and then created some music for it. I randomly selected words and phrases until I had a verse idea, then formulated a query in ChatGPT to flesh it out--most of which was cliche junk. For associated images I used an AI image generator with various queries drawn from the 3/4 text, e.g. "Anne Frank and Martha Stewart in 2046" and Frank Gehry buildings on Mars" which generated some interesting and funny images, which could be used as an album cover. But for the most part, it felt like a waste of time. Anything that involves sorting through infinite permutations feels inundating. Some of the images are creepy and scary. I'm not looking for creepy and scary. What I'm interested in are things on the periphery of the uncanny valley, where it's slightly skewed in compelling ways. That's difficult to find when you have to weed through hundreds of mostly unusable images. The March 4 diary entries one of which is one of the fictitious characters, Neone from my Reset short story. The red text is the lines from the ChatGPT generation--and became the title. 3/4/1943 (Diary of Anne Frank) "A veritable thunderstorm of words came crashing down on me again this morning. The air flashed with so many coarse expressions that my ears were ringing with "Anne's bad this" and "van Daans" good that." Fire and brimstone!" 3/4/2004 Martha Stewart convicted. She could do up to 20 years in prison. 3/4/2046 (Neone's Diary) Lunch with Ramona at Fahrenheit Cafe, but Ramona's on a fast for the Mars mission. She talks about it constantly, as well as trying to assuage my doubt about the immortality treatments. A thunderstorm of words Crashing down on me Lunch with Ramona at the Fahrenheit Cafe She's fasting for Mars and immortality Symphonic music in a spectacle space Designed by a starchitect Crafting futures with design Echoes of a diary's pages The artistry of home and creation Ripples through the ages AI-Generated Images
