Here is the result of a DeepResearch task with the free version of Gemini using the prompt “Create a list with all websites that deal with tango Argentinian, and offer some insight into the culture, experience, or psychology of the dance. I am not looking for teachers or events.”. Argentine Tango: A Cultural, Experiential, and […]
In the last few months, I have been working with different AI tools, from ChatGPT, to Claude, Copilot and Perplexity. Each has their own advantages, but they also have enough disadvantages — and they are all subscription-based, and you don’t really want to subscribe to them all at the same time. Of course, there’s also […]
The previous entry “The experience of flow in dance” was written by AI. How? It uses an algorithm that helps the AI bootstrap the writing process by asking itself questions, and then using these questions for web research, outlining, and writing. Quite fascinating. Application Link: storm · Streamlit (stanford.edu) Here is a screenshot of the […]
Please note: the article below was fully written by AI, without human interaction. It is written using an application called STORM based on current research by a group of smart scientists at Stanford (paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.14207) Download: Flow, a psychological state coined by Hungarian-American psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, represents a condition of deep absorption and engagement in […]

Over the last weeks, I have played with different Ai models to generate pictures of tango dancers. Sometimes with good results, sometimes with not-so-good results. In general, there are two main areas of problems with the images: Cliche and Hands.
Admit it: if you are a tango dancer, you have tried it. And failed to create something interesting. Usually there are issues with everything that makes tango interesting: the embrace (position, heads, arms, hands), the expressions, the pose. The AI reproduces stereotypes mostly, and doesn’t understand hands and basic dance anatomy. However, with some seed […]
An algorithm-free directory of tango people, places, events, and resources — built in the community's own vocabulary: the Atlas to discover, the Card to be found, Charlemos to connect.
This project, for me, is an exploration into what is currently possible, finding and pushing the limits of the AI. When is tango in a generated image still tango, and when is it only the aftertaste of cliché?
I am extremely fascinated by Large Language Models and what they are capable of. My first encounter with LLMs was about one half year before the launch of ChatGPT, when I was confronted with GPT-3 — and I was very unimpressed. ChatGPT changed that a little bit, but it took some months until I was […]
