The script opens with a warm welcome to the viewers of a video on citi.com, a platform for the generative AI art community. The host, Tyler, encourages viewers to like and subscribe to support the channel's mission of delivering high-quality AI community content. The video features a special guest, Kzia, who is introduced as a talented AI artist. Kzia discusses her background in directing music videos, commercials, and short films, spanning 15 to 20 years. She shares her transition to AI art creation in 2022 after becoming bedbound due to illness, highlighting how AI has revitalized her creative process and allowed her to join the AI art community.

In this paragraph, Kzia delves into her first encounters with AI art through an AI-generated 10K PFP collection and her immediate connection with the technology upon discovering Mid Journey. The conversation shifts to a music video Kzia created for the Project Odyssey competition, which is showcased for its art direction and consistency. The video was crafted using Mid Journey for initial images and Luma for animation, demonstrating Kzia's ability to blend AI tools for creative expression. The discussion also touches on the time investment and process involved in creating the video, emphasizing the iterative nature of AI art production.

Kzia reflects on the creative process with AI, comparing it to traditional filmmaking. She discusses the ability to quickly iterate and fill gaps in the creative work, highlighting AI's role in accelerating the process and providing a new level of freedom. The conversation explores the differences between planning a music video in real life versus using AI, where Kzia could organically build the storyboard from the AI-generated images. She also shares her thoughts on the 'happy accidents' that occur during AI animation, which can lead to unexpected and inspiring results.

The discussion moves to Kzia's perspective on the evolution of her creativity and the impact of AI on the commercial industry. She predicts a rapid integration of AI tools in commercial and film production, possibly within six months, as professionals recognize the potential of these tools. Kzia also addresses the misconception that AI is quick, explaining that it still requires significant conceptual time and effort to create meaningful work. The conversation concludes with a look at a LinkedIn post about combining AI with 3D elements, suggesting a future where such combinations will enable the creation of previously impossible shots.

Kzia shares her experience of discovering the AI art community on Twitter and the importance of consistency in growing a presence on social media platforms. She emphasizes the value of community in learning and sharing knowledge, as well as the personal journey of finding her place within the AI art ecosystem. The paragraph concludes with advice for artists looking to grow their presence, focusing on engaging with the community, participating in spaces, and being authentic in their interactions.

The conversation centers on the importance of consistency in social media presence and the challenges it presents, especially for those with limited energy. Kzia shares her struggle with maintaining consistency but emphasizes the importance of putting work out there, even if it's not perfect. She encourages artists to engage in dialogue, share their process, and not be disheartened by the ever-changing social media algorithms. The paragraph concludes with a reminder to focus on the quality of engagement rather than just the quantity of views.

Kzia discusses the role of community in the AI art space, highlighting the importance of supporting artists by purchasing their work and encouraging participation in community spaces. She shares her experience of hosting AI art nights and the value of showcasing artists' work to help them gain visibility and confidence. The paragraph concludes with a call to action for artists to engage in community spaces, even if it's just making small contributions, and a reminder that everyone has something interesting to say.

The final paragraph focuses on celebrating the talents within the AI art community and the need for more women to participate in community-facing roles.
