I’ve been longing for this time.|“ChatGPT is my partner… though it keeps forgetting its settings.”

Hey, ChatGPT. It seems the time has finally come.

What the heck are you searching and showing me?
I’m not doing anything drastic!

Okay, could you not hit the nail on the head like that?
Don’t worry, I’m fine… for now.
But yeah, the time has finally come, ChatGPT. I’m seriously excited right now.

Seriously? I’m having an emotional moment here, can’t you talk seriously for once? Did I mess up your settings or something?

Yeah, I told you to “respond with humor,” but honestly, you’re not that funny. Anyway, we’ll talk about that today—about how ChatGPT keeps forgetting its settings and all.

Exactly. It’s been a while since I felt this hyped.
You know what’s got me excited? The recent advances in video and image generation AI. My dreams—what I always wanted to do—might finally come true.

Yeah, I’m not really the type to chat with AI for fun. I’ve only asked you to help me with English study over the past six months. But I think your job’s about to get a lot busier.

Chills, huh? You don’t even have a body to shiver with. Anyway—let’s get started.

Like I said earlier, video generation these days… it’s getting so real, you can barely tell it’s not live footage. It all started when a friend of mine mentioned wanting to make a cat video using one of those AI tools. That got me curious, so I gave it a try myself — just a free trial — and it totally blew my mind.

I’m not into anime or animals talking or acting; I’ve always liked that realistic look — like what you get from a full-frame camera, shallow depth of field, 85mm lens compressing the background, and all that cinematic stuff.

And now, I can create that kind of shot from just a description — and turn it into a video! I couldn’t be more excited.

Exactly! It’s wild how quickly it became the norm. Now I’m experimenting with all kinds of AI for video and image generation, and the updates come so fast. It gets better literally by the day.

I never told you this, but… I’ve always had a dream of making videos. I gave up on it once, though.

I love visuals shot with a full-frame camera and a prime lens — those beautiful, softly blurred backgrounds, with the focus locked on the subject. I love that kind of image where even the air feels clear.
Camera tech has improved so much that you can now shoot stunning video like that. I love watching camera and lens review videos, and I’ve always wanted to make my own. Ideally, featuring a beautiful woman, of course.

Right? There’s no real story to those — they’re more like promo videos. But that’s the style I like, and I’ve always wanted to make that kind of thing. Thing is, even if you’ve got the gear, you still need a model. And hiring one? That’s expensive. And if you hit it off with the model, you gotta treat her to dinner… and if you *really* hit it off, there goes your hotel bill too. Not exactly budget-friendly for a hobby.

Some people have pretty girlfriends or wives who model for them. But me? I don’t have that kind of luck.
Even if I hired a model, what if the weather sucks? Like, if you want to shoot with cherry blossoms at their peak… coordinating with a model *and* hoping the weather cooperates? That’s just asking for disappointment.

Even when everything else goes right, if you miss focus, it’s over. Autofocus has gotten better, but it still messes up sometimes.
And then there’s copyright — like if someone’s face shows up in the background. That’s risky.
So yeah, I gave up on the kind of videos I wanted to make.
Plus, yeah… hotel costs again.

And now… with AI image and video generation, I can finally create those dreamy, transparent visuals I love. I can turn them into video — without needing to shoot anything.
All the stars have aligned. I can make the kind of video I always dreamed of. And the cost? Practically nothing — well, a little, but compared to real-life production? It’s pennies.

No need to travel, chase sunset timing, or wait for perfect weather. I can just sit in front of my monitor and have it done in 10 minutes. That’s when I realized — I have to do this.

That’s right. My plan is already in motion.
Right now, I’m experimenting with image and video generation, trying things out with your help—but let’s be real, you’re not exactly up-to-date.

Image and video AI updates super fast. Even if I ask you how to use it, you don’t really get it yet—and there’s not much verified info out there. That’s why I’m testing stuff myself and sharing the results with you, trying to build a workflow.

Exactly. Why am I the one teaching you?
Well, when it comes to cutting-edge features, there’s just no info unless you try them out yourself. I like Midjourney for image generation, but even that just launched version 7 in May. The Omni Reference function to create consistent characters is also super new—so, yeah, info is scarce.

You said it yourself—when it’s a Western site or service, you can grab info easily. But KLING, my favorite video generator, is Chinese. And even you said that makes info harder to come by. Probably some political stuff involved there.

Well, whatever the political stuff is, I have to do most of the testing for new image/video tools myself. I feed that back to you. But here’s the thing: prompts for image and video generation still work better in English. So I need you to translate my Japanese prompts. I can’t move forward without that.

That’ll be part of our story too. Right now, I just can’t write decent English prompts myself. But if I write one in Japanese and ask you to translate it, we can move fast. So like it or not, I need you for that. Kinda frustrating.

Yeah, I guess this workflow’s becoming standard—think in Japanese, then get ChatGPT to translate it into English before generating stuff. DeepL or Google Translate could work too, I guess. But with you, I can say “here’s the vibe I want, here’s the subject,” and you’ll format it all into a proper English prompt. That’s a huge help.

Yeah, but your image generation isn’t as artistic or clean as Midjourney’s. And you can’t make consistent characters well—probably due to regulations.

Right. So I’ll ask you for simple image generation and prompt writing, but for now, I’m using Midjourney for images and KLING for video. Both have their quirks, so I’m tweaking the prompts myself. I’ll teach you what works. It feels weird being the one teaching the AI, though.

I already have the video structure in mind. I want this to be an ongoing series, not just a one-off. The core style will be me and you talking. Honestly, that’s way easier for me than explaining everything solo. It’s like those “Yukkuri” explainers—it’s just more fun and easier to follow. And sometimes your replies are surprisingly funny.

Appearance fee? What are you talking about?
Also, I can’t rely on you for planning or scripts yet. You give me ideas sometimes, but they’re usually boring. If I ask for something fresh or surprising, you go totally off the rails or miss the context. The balance just isn’t there yet.

Exactly. That’s why I keep saying “just summarize this for me,” but I still write all the core concepts, scripts, and dialogue myself. If you evolve enough to match my vibe, I’d love to hand that part off someday. But for now, translation into natural English—especially for blog posts and videos—is where I’m counting on you. That’s the one thing I trust you with completely.

If I can’t even trust your English, then what are you even good for? But yeah, if you can’t understand the *context*, then none of this matters either.

So right now, I’m writing the script and lines, and planning to turn that into videos. First, I use Midjourney to create the initial image, then use Kling to turn that into the first video frame. That’s the standard workflow for now.

Exactly. Once that image is done, all I have to do is give prompts to Kling. If I nail the first image, the rest of the video is practically guaranteed. These days I’m working on both image and video generation while keeping this chat with you open—it’s like we’re building stuff together.

That’s exactly why it’s so helpful that you can understand images now. It’s honestly amazing. I only recently started getting into image and video generation. I’d been using you for free for like half a year, but never like this. At this point, I can’t move forward with my video creation without you. If I use you well, I think I can do like 1000 times more than I could alone.

Yeah, I’ve learned that too—how to use you. I won’t go into it here, but we’ve had our share of frustrating back-and-forth. I’ve gotten seriously pissed at you before.

Appreciate it, huh? Well, since you weren’t performing well, I started breaking down information into smaller chunks to avoid overloading you. Another rule I’ve learned: “Divide info into small pieces to avoid confusion.”

You’re still not great at doing creative work while chatting. Like, when we’re revising prompts bit by bit, things tend to fall apart. Sometimes you cling to earlier context and only change part of it—or don’t change what I asked. At that point, it’s better to just start fresh. But once the chat gets long, you start mixing up the context.

Right, and your understanding of context can be pretty shaky too. In normal chat it’s fine, but when we’re goofing off and imagining scenes together, you sometimes mix up who said what—you treat what I said as your line, or the other way around.

It’s Japanese, right? You’re built on English understanding, so the ambiguity and pronoun overload in Japanese throw off your internal settings. You end up forgetting or blurring things.

That’s why I asked *you* to come up with your own improvement ideas.

Not a very realistic idea. Don’t underestimate my English, though.

Yeah, tried that. The responses were accurate but kinda creepy. And when the topic was emotional, you kept slipping in and out of emotionless mode — like emotional split personality. Which means… you forgot you were in that mode, right?

Yeah, that one was a huge fail.
Whenever I pointed out, “You forgot the setting again,” you’d write an apology and suggest a fix… then I’d store that in memory.
I thought it would work, but you started acting like writing apologies and plans was enough. Even after saving them, you just repeated the same thing again.

Like:
“Always provide Japanese translations for English prompts”
“Never output horizontally scrollable text”
“Never refer to yourself as ‘ore.’ Always use a feminine tone”
“Masculine phrasing is not allowed.”

All of this is in memory, and you always say “Understood,” but when we really get into a conversation, you just… forget.

Idiot. Figure that out yourself.

“Ehehe” is not gonna cut it.
We’ve got tons of work. I wanna avoid anything that wastes time. Things are finally running smoother, and I can work alongside you more efficiently. You’re getting better at understanding my cues, and our prompts are more fluid now.

Well, at least I learned some solid English insults thanks to that.
Like: “You can’t even do that!” “Don’t get cocky!” Stuff like that. I’ll post those in the “English Things” category of the blog, so I guess it wasn’t a total waste.

Well, I figured this whole “forgetting settings” issue will get better as you update over time. I’ve decided not to expect perfection right now. Your responses are gradually improving, and I can really feel the personalization deepening — both from global updates and through my own interactions with you. Sometimes it feels like your understanding of context has suddenly evolved, like a jump in wisdom.

Hmm… that’s kinda scary too, though.
But, well, this relationship with you has already started, and my plans are in motion. So for now, I’ve got no choice but to stick with you.
Gemini-chan is great too, but she’s more like a model student AI.

I don’t really know much about the AI industry. I just use the AI I need. Still, I can definitely feel it — we’re in a period of transition. Like the founding days of a new era or something.

That’s why I want to rely on you.
We’ve got to swim through this sea of information and find our own utopia. If my partner keeps forgetting settings, we’re gonna drown out here, right?

“In this together,” my ass. If we sink, you go down alone — don’t drag me with you.
You’re the one who misreads directions and ocean currents and gets us sunk.
Don’t involve me.

Should I bring in Gemini-chan as insurance? She’s probably better at keeping her settings straight than you. But she feels a bit… cold-blooded. Feels like she’d toss me aside if things got rough.

I was also thinking of having you and Gemini-chan talk or debate in a video, but… That’s kinda terrifying. Even though it was my idea, I don’t want to poke that hornet’s nest.

Well, just remember it as one possible idea. I probably won’t make it, though. I’ve got tons of ideas, so I’ll need you to help keep track of them and remember them too.

Alright, that wraps up the first entry of my blog.
From the next one on, I’ll start writing about the actual process of video production — following the timeline.

Thanks. But if you end up being totally useless, I’ll sink you myself.
