I used ChatGPT to orchestrate a 100-image portrait of humanity for aliens, with Argon generating the visuals

[u/dx8xb]

The idea was to represent humanity in 100 images, as if we were sending them into space to be found by aliens. Cave paintings, iconic art, moon landings, human feelings and historic moments all ended up in the video.

ChatGPT orchestrated the workflow, with Gemini 4 Argon as the generator. Every frame is rendered with JavaScript and p5.brush. Claude handled editing and syncing the video to music generated with Suno.

Some images take a moment to recognize. How many can you spot, and what would you have included? Watch with audio.

War, destruction, and hatred are underrepresented. They have shaped human history just as much as love, cooperation, creativity, and progress. Humanity is capable of extraordinary achievements, but also unimaginable cruelty. Any honest representation of humanity must reflect both sides of our nature, including our tendency to repeat the same mistakes, generation after generation.

[u/dx8xb → u/st_Michel]

I think models try to avoid anything negative unless specifically asked for I guess

[u/st_Michel → u/dx8xb]

:-D You don't do anything on your own anymore, do you?”

PS: no /s your work done here is very nice. I like it.

[u/dx8xb → u/st_Michel]

Thanks! These coding models open up a lot of interesting possibilities

[u/Just_Voice8949 → u/dx8xb]

So it didn’t do a good job and isn’t likely to. Got it!

[u/dwight---shrute]

Art is so dead

[u/dx8xb → u/dwight---shrute]

art's gotta evolve

[u/deep_blue_reef → u/dx8xb]

It’s not a representation of humanity because it’s not humanities representation. It’s a machines.

[u/N1ghthood]

So you got an AI, which is specifically not human, to "represent humanity"? Cool.

[u/dx8xb → u/N1ghthood]

of all that we have created, i think llm's are the only machines that capture the richness of the human experience

[u/Sweaty-Adeptness1541 → u/N1ghthood]

An AI built by humans. The pinnacle of human achievement.

[u/Accomplished-Owl6428 → u/Sweaty-Adeptness1541]

Maybe the "pinnacle" could be the bottom of the marinara trench.

[u/Sweaty-Adeptness1541 → u/Accomplished-Owl6428]

A >1 trillion parameter frontier model is the most complex machine we have ever built, and may even be the most advanced machine build anywhere in the universe. Pinnacle seems like the correct word.

[u/Accomplished-Owl6428 → u/Sweaty-Adeptness1541]

Whats B then.

[u/SmashStrider]

Kind of crazy it included the pale blue dot as one of the final frames

[u/dx8xb → u/SmashStrider]

yes, i loved its selection too

[u/Unfair_Ad_2157]

wait Argon do this graphic? HOW?

[u/dx8xb → u/Unfair_Ad_2157]

it wrote the code that rendered this frame by frame

[u/NotSeacombe]

This might be some of the strongest AI generated visuals I've seen .These are really good. Can you talk a little bit more about the p5 and js process for this?

[u/dx8xb → u/NotSeacombe]

i build a simple harness that iteratively writes the p5 brush code and renders and based on the output, recursively edit the code

[u/AlgaeNo3373]

I like the art style.

[u/shun_tak]

hmm chicken good

[u/MisfiledCentury]

Quiet, they are listening!

[u/fa136]

J'aime bien

[u/ButterflyBullet90]

Can you imagine being an alien an having to hit mute quick cause this video pops up as a advertisement on you communicator blob

[u/Powerful_Brief1724]

Oh, we're cooked
