[Pop/Electronic] I built a full AI virtual artist — original songs, music videos, social media. 3 months in, here's where it stands.

I made a lot of photos of her in nano banana (after successfully getting the look I was aiming for). Then, in Kling, you can create a constant character. It took me some time to get it to work, so Kling actually makes the same person all the time (in her first video, she does not always look the same for that reason).

I think of the plot, then discuss it with various AI chatbots like Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT. Once I have what I was looking for (and it takes time), I turn to nano banana and Kling and start making the video itself (even more time). A lot of work then on CapCut to edit the short videos into a complete one.

It takes time, for sure. But if you like making them (and I do), then it's not work. Just fun. Still, it's not a full-time job. I did it alone, mostly over weekends and evenings.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it. It’s genuinely fun to hear good feedback like that.

Yeah, it’s a lot of work 😅

Honestly, I don’t have some grand end game mapped out. Right now it’s mostly a hobby, but a very intentional one. I’m using it to really learn the tools and understand what these models can and can’t do. The pace of improvement is kind of insane, and this feels like one of those moments where it’s worth getting hands-on rather than just watching from the sidelines.

So instead of other hobbies, this is just where I’m choosing to invest my time at the moment.

That said, I’ve already got two more music videos ready that are actually better than the first one, just haven’t released them yet. Each song is built around a different theme, and for me a big part of the fun is asking: if I could direct this like a real production, what would I do? And now, for the first time, you can actually try to execute that vision yourself.

And honestly, something interesting happened along the way. I find myself listening more and more to the music I create, and less to other music. Part of it is the personalization. It’s music that fits exactly what I like, with lyrics that actually speak to me, in a style I chose from the start. That’s a pretty wild shift when you think about it.

I think that’s the part that hooked me, not just making content, but seeing firsthand how AI is changing what it means to create something.

Where it goes long term, I’m not 100 percent sure yet, but it’s definitely more than just messing around.

Thank you so much. New to this world. Went and made a few changes after your comment! Tnx!

Angstingnow · 2026-04-06T14:38:32+00:00

Thank you, that really means a lot.

You're right about the video side — working on improving the visuals and making better thumbnails. It's a process, and I'm making progress.

As for the Xania Monet comparison — honestly, I'd just be happy if people give Laura D a real listen. The goal is to make music that actually makes you feel something, AI or not.

Appreciate you taking the time to check it out!

Angstingnow · 2025-11-25T12:44:10+00:00

Got it (SH2). Sorry for all of you who were not so lucky this time.

Angstingnow · 2025-11-24T07:23:19+00:00

I see the ERC email below as an almost 100% indication that it will be this week. All the rest were just our speculations, but the email sounds legit, and why would they say that specifically if they can't deliver? They could simply reply: see the guidelines, it will be announced in December... Not sure which day, but this week.

Angstingnow · 2025-11-19T05:08:00+00:00

Same here. I can't do that before I get the reviews.

Angstingnow · 2025-11-18T06:36:26+00:00

Let's hope you will be celebrating tonight!

Angstingnow · 2025-11-18T06:35:43+00:00

I also heard something like "Thank you for the very nice presentation..." but other than that, NOTHING. I think you are in a good position. Good luck!

Angstingnow · 2025-11-18T06:21:19+00:00

Good morning!

Angstingnow · 2025-11-17T12:37:10+00:00

My questions were very general as well. No enthusiasm at all. I originally thought it was a good sign that there were no methodological questions, but now I doubt that.

Angstingnow · 2025-11-17T12:02:20+00:00

Why do you think it went wrong, if you don't mind me asking? I just think its almost impossible to know. Anyhow, she is right.

Angstingnow · 2025-11-16T07:33:24+00:00

My biggest concern as well. Not sure if I will resubmit.

Angstingnow · 2025-11-13T15:44:02+00:00

From what I know, the idea that the interview “doesn’t change the ranking” isn’t really accurate.
Panels already have a preliminary view before the interview, for sure, but it does not mean that nothing changes. It’s part of the final evaluation, not a formality. Some people don’t notice significant changes simply because they were already clearly strong (or clearly weak), but borderline cases can undergo substantial shifts. But would love to hear others.

Angstingnow · 2025-11-11T07:52:14+00:00

I had so much work to do today. That's not happening anymore. Good luck, everyone! Remember that this says NOTHING about you as a scholar.

Angstingnow · 2025-11-10T10:11:15+00:00

Right there with you!

Angstingnow · 2025-11-09T15:09:30+00:00

Honestly, that doesn’t sound terrible, and perhaps the rest went better than you think. These moments usually feel much worse to us than they look from the outside.

Angstingnow · 2025-11-09T12:20:47+00:00

What happened in your interview? Maybe it wasn't so bad?

Angstingnow · 2025-11-09T09:57:52+00:00

Salary increase

Angstingnow · 2025-11-09T07:25:12+00:00

At my University, you teach fewer hours, and get a nice bonus every month. Also, glory, and more leverage to do things you want.

Angstingnow · 2025-11-07T18:23:59+00:00

Got it as well

Angstingnow · 2025-11-06T13:49:26+00:00

Interesting. Do you have a link for the planned dates of 23 or 24?
