How complaining to AI about being 'annoying' naturally led to the creation of an MV production app
Hello, this is Kino.
To put it simply, when I complained to the AI that it was 'annoying,'
the tedious tasks I did every time for MV production came back as a dedicated web app.
What's more, I didn't write a single line of code.
Recently, the evolution of AI has gone beyond 'convenient' and reached a level that is almost 'a bit scary,' so let me share that shock with you.
Honestly, it gave me chills.
The trigger was a 'small frustration' during MV production
It happened while I was making a new music video (MV).
I want more shots.
But I absolutely don't want to lower the image quality...
That's when I arrived at the method of
'creating the best single image in 4K and dividing it into nine parts to use.'
The luxury of 'daring' to divide the best single image
People who don't know might think,
'Why go to the trouble of dividing it?'
But this is really powerful.
First, generate the 'best single image' in 4K using the latest image generation AI (such as Nano Banana Pro).
I then ask it,
"Using this image as a base, create a 3x3 nine-panel grid (with different angles)."
Then,
I instantly get nine shots with perfectly unified tone and lighting,
looking just like a scene from a movie.
Up to this point, it was amazing.
The "tedious ordeal" that stood in my way
The problem was what came after.
To split a 4K image into nine parts,
I have to use a preview app or similar to
"select area -> crop -> save" nine times.
Since I went to the trouble of making it in 4K,
I can't afford to lower the image quality with screenshots.
But manual cropping is... honestly, a huge pain.
By the third one,
"I can't do this anymore..."
I felt like giving up.
The result of complaining to AI, "Can't this be done automatically?"
So, I complained to my favorite AI agent lately, Antigravity,
in a half-resigned mood.
Make it so this can be split and saved automatically.
Then,
AI:
I can do that 🎵
The next moment,
a program ran in the background,
and the image was split into nine and saved in an instant.
……Wait, hold on.
All I said was,
a complaint about it being 'a hassle'.
Before I knew it, the app was finished.
This is where the real work begins.
Me:
Make this into an app so others can use it too.
AI:
It is done.
Me:
Can you add terms of service, deploy it to GitHub,
and make it shareable for everyone?
AI:
I have taken care of that.
……Terrifying.
It's truly terrifying, Antigravity.
I just sat in my chair
and voiced the things I wanted to solve.
Before I knew it,
while maintaining high image quality
A web app that can split images in an instant was completed,
the terms of service were finalized,
and it was ready to be released to the whole world.
That is how it happened.
'Annoying' is the first step toward a solution
In the end, what I want to say is this.
When you think, 'This is annoying,'
you should just try throwing it at an AI as is, that's the point.
Things that you would have given up on before because
'it seems technically impossible'
or
'it's a hassle to look up',
by just complaining to an AI, 'This is annoying!',
they come back in a form beyond your imagination (in this case, an app).
If you have a task like this,
If in your work,
you are cutting images by hand every time
Repeating the same process over and over
Thinking 'this could be automated' but leaving it be
If you have even one of those 'subtly annoying tasks'.
Try
complaining about it directly to an AI.
Before looking up 'how to do it',
try asking 'can't this be done somehow?'
I feel that kind of usage
is well-suited for the current era.
Antigravity is really great, isn't it!
Next time,
'To begin with, why is this so powerful?'
I intend to write about its essence (without skipping the prerequisites).
The 'tedious tasks' around you, too,
might just turn into new tools
by simply talking to an AI.
That's all for today.
Thank you for reading until the end.
