In 2022, generative AI was a novelty. The images were dreamy and unrealistic, and most of its use to the common person was for humor. I decided to use it to completely generate the cover for IGNIS FATUUS SOLARIS. Nowadays, the novelty has worn off and I would choose to hire a human to complete my vision. But there is a world to be explored regarding this record and its surrounding universe.

Almost 4 years later, in 2026, I used AI to vibe code what it thought Aphrodite’s world would look and feel like. Above is the result of this experiment. A very simple AI generated forest with overwhelming visuals, complete with floating geometry and souls trapped in what she envisioned to be a post-human paradise. It’s rough and unpolished, but I intend for this to be a proof of concept for future endeavors of blending my music and writing with different mediums.

In no way do I advocate for the complete takeover of AI. Real humans are losing their family homes, livelihoods, and identities because of this technology wielded by a few evil men with the rest of our hard-earned resources. But it is inescapable, and from every innovation there are those who use it for humanity or against it.
