Outtakes
AI bloopers
What goes wrong when AI makes pictures and clips. Not everything ends up in the finished video – luckily. Here is the scrap pile.
Clips
The heart dances I wanted a real heart to dance. The AI decided Valentine’s Day was prettier.
Cinnamon rolls Ordered a fat cap, got cinnamon rolls.
Lollipop instead of fat Instead of fat, a lollipop is stuck to the heart. Sugar – exactly what I didn’t want.
Neon question marks Neon light in the fur was the plan. The AI drew question marks instead – matching my face when I watched it.
Tree clones in the eye A world was supposed to grow inside the eye. The AI just copied the same trees side by side – mirrored.
Pianist fingers A gorilla with a human chest and pianist fingers. Fired.
Stills

My first thought: “As if I thought I was Jesus.” And blue was actually banned from the cover. My thought loop as a ball of yarn. The hen looks just as sceptical as I do. The book is called “Blau” (blue), and blue was supposed to stay off. The AI hands me a paint box full of blue. Waist-deep in grass – or just missing the bottom half? The AI doesn’t know either. Picture book page for my children’s book: flying squirrels turn into pterosaurs. And frogs and kingfishers come by the dozen. I wanted meat in the picture. The AI served bread rolls – and made the rhino disappear too. Three identical turtles and a cat nobody invited. Two bears, three hornbills, two deer – all copy and paste. The AI had clearly had enough. A sky full of birds. Unfortunately always the same bird. In the children’s book a perch bites another fish in the face. A picture book with a crime scene. Four identical dolphins, three identical gulls. The AI counts differently than I do. Head hanging upside down, an arm coming from somewhere. We’ll do anatomy later. The roar turns into a metal plate. A muzzle from the AI, unasked. A chain appears out of nowhere. Physics had the day off. A book turns into a giant padlock. I only wanted to read. Suddenly little passengers sit on the shoulders. Nobody invited them. Mid-jump, the lower body melts. Looks like sore muscles.
Everything here was made with AI tools and sorted out by me. More is coming.
