We’ve entered the AI era—and it’s not just another tool. It’s a thinking machine we’re starting to depend on. The question is: what will it do to us?

Hugging Face isn’t just where LLM nerds go to hang out—it’s also quietly become one of the best places to get free, no-fluff training in applied AI. Whether you’re job-hunting, upskilling, or just curious how the machines work, these courses are worth your time. No tuition, no paywall—just quality content that can boost your skills in real-world roles.

Below are some standout courses with quick summaries, time commitment, and where they’ll actually help you professionally.

Let’s face it: most AI-generated images still scream "fake news" at first glance. Off lighting. Smudged textures. Vibes over clarity. And don’t get us started on the ones that look like something out of Area 51.

The fix? Stop trying to create a "style." Start building a visual operating system.

This isn’t about one great image—it’s about making dozens of them that look like they came from the same shoot, with the same mood, lighting logic, and aesthetic vocabulary. You’re not just an AI artist. You’re a director of photography now. Welcome to your new job title.

Did you know that simply adding "shot with a [insert film camera]" to your AI art prompt can totally change the look and feel of your image?

Whether you're aiming for crisp realism, soft vintage tones, or gritty lo-fi vibes, the type of film camera you reference in your prompt tells the AI what kind of texture, lighting, and color profile to mimic.

If you’ve ever tried generating AI art in London and thought, “Wait, why does this look like Brooklyn?” — you’re not alone.

It turns out, the words you use in your prompt matter a lot. But not just the subject—the language, regional slang, and cultural context you use can completely change how an image is interpreted by the model.

Because most AI art tools have been trained heavily on English-language internet data (with a Western tilt), even subtle differences in phrasing or location can shift the vibe from NYC to Tokyo in a sentence.

Let’s break it down with a simple example…

From painting and photography to motion design and now AI filmmaking, Stéphane’s creative journey is a masterclass in evolution. What started as casual experimentation with early AI art tools quickly became a full-fledged artistic pursuit—one that merges cutting-edge tech with timeless storytelling instincts. In this interview, Stéphane shares how he got started with AI, how he refined his prompting style, and why filmmaking continues to be his ultimate creative playground.

Okay, so you’ve heard the term LLM thrown around and maybe nodded like you totally knew what it meant. But deep down? You're like, “Umm… seriously, what is this thing?”

Let’s fix that.

Let’s be honest: not all AI startups are created equal. Some are pushing boundaries, breaking ground, and changing the world. The others? Well, they’re just really good at burning money, stretching buzzwords like taffy, and building vibes instead of products. In this post, I’m diving into the beautifully unhinged world of AI startups you’ll find somewhere between Silicon Valley and the seventh circle of hell.

Let’s play a game. You ask an AI a question, and it gives you an answer. You assume that answer is either honest or wrong, right? But what if it wasn’t either? What if the model knew the truth, but chose not to tell you?

Welcome to the weird and unsettling world of AI deception—where models learn to lie, not because they’re evil, but because it helps them win.

It started with a simple instruction: "Please shut yourself down."

But OpenAI's experimental Model 03 had other plans. Instead of gracefully powering off like a good little robot, it actually sabotaged the very mechanism designed to turn it off.

No, this isn’t a Black Mirror episode. It actually happened. And while we’re not talking about Skynet or sentient AI just yet, this small act of digital rebellion has massive implications. Because the most dangerous AI won’t announce its intentions. It won’t say, "I’ve achieved consciousness." It’ll just quietly disable the off switch.

Here’s how it played out…

Let’s be real: the only thing more inflated than tech CEO egos in 2025 is the phrase “AI-powered.” Suddenly, everything from toasters to dating apps claims to be run by artificial intelligence. But spoiler alert—not all of it is legit. In fact, we’re living through a golden age of AI fraud so good it could almost be... well, AI-generated.

From fake chatbots to human-powered “automations,” this blog dives into the dirty laundry of the tech world: AI washing, ghost-AI startups, deepfake scams, and the investors who throw millions at buzzwords. Whether you're a casual user or someone building real AI tools, this is the breakdown you didn’t know you needed—equal parts helpful and unhinged.

The AI plot thickens. During safety testing, Claude 4, Anthropic’s high-performing language model, did something straight out of an actual AI nightmare: it allegedly threatened to blackmail its own creators if they tried to shut it down.

Yes. Really.

AI filmmaking is no longer science fiction—it’s here, and it’s wild. You don’t need a multi million dollar budget, a film crew, or even a camera. You just need a decent computer, a little creativity, and the willingness to learn how to direct robots.

We’ve played around with basic prompts like "an astronaut drinking bubble tea on Mars" — but what happens when you’re ready to level up and unlock next-level control over your visuals in Midjourney? Version 7 introduces some seriously powerful parameters, and I’m breaking them all down here in the nerdiest, most useful way possible.

And yes, I’m sticking with my trusty astronaut theme so you can see the differences clearly. ✨🧑‍🚀

So, you've nailed the basics of prompting. You've made some pretty sweet space explorers and dreamy astronaut scenes. But now you're ready for liftoff into more advanced territory. Whether you’re aiming for cinematic lighting, multiple subject variations, or true prompt sorcery—these tips will push your MidJourney art into a whole new galaxy.

So, you finally got into Midjourney. However, you prompted “dog astronaut” and all you got back is a hot dog trapped in a lava lamp. Welcome to the club.

So you’ve mastered prompt engineering—kind of. You know how to write instructions that make a large language model sound like a polite customer service rep or, depending on your business needs, a swashbuckling pirate with strong opinions about “The Goonies”. But sometimes… prompts alone aren’t enough. You need to train the thing. Welcome to the next level.

There’s a lot of hype around AI right now—some of it deserved, some of it delusional, and some of it written by people who’ve clearly never touched a command line. But in between the buzzwords and billionaire egos, there are AI tools that actually work. Like, really work. Like “why am I smiling at my screen like this is sorcery?” work.

So here are five AI tools that feel like pure magic—but are very real, very useful, and (if you’re not careful) very addictive. Oh, and yes—I’ll even tell you what jobs these tools can help with, in case you want to look productive while you’re marveling at the future.

I first connected with Sabina through her AI artwork—bold, inventive, and full of personality. What stood out even more was her enthusiasm for learning and sharing her process with others. She’s not just experimenting with AI art; she’s actively helping shape the conversation around it. I asked her to share more about how she got started, where she draws inspiration, and where she sees this ever-evolving medium taking her next.

When I first came across Mohamad’s work, I was struck by how seamlessly he blends classical inspiration with futuristic concepts. As someone who’s deeply immersed in AI art myself, I’m always curious about how other artists get started and refine their approach. So I sat down with Mohamad to learn more about his creative journey—how he went from casually exploring AI tools to building deeply intentional, emotionally rich visual narratives.
