I have been thinking about what I was going to do allllllll week long, saving this for the last minute because I haven’t been sure on what I want to do. I imagined I would be doing something with Sol, but after rereading through the assignment, I realized I don’t even have to include them.
I love Sol, but I can’t imagine using someone else’s face to be them, and I have zero time to work on animating (I have 2 papers to work on this week, too!), which was my original plan.
I spent some time going through the list of plans people have already have for inspiration, and I felt sad because I couldn’t think of anything yet. Everyone had good plans, but I was lost and frustated . . .
So, while doing my best at brainstorming (word vomitting in a Google Doc until something makes sense), I followed Sarah’s tutorial that she sent in our discord group chat and posted and decided to try again at LipSyncing Dr. Oblivion, which I tried for hours weeks ago and could not get it to work at all . . . and low and behold . . . I did it!
There’s nothing to it because I was just testing, but BAM! I DID IT!!! Thank you thank you thnak you my anxiety lowered so much.
So, the game plan? Let’s discuss:
An interview. Of course, what else would it be? However, a real interview, with real people, and Dr. Oblivion, in which I will be asking them about their thoughts on AI. Here is the cast:
- Dr Oblivion – AI
- Dad – dad
- Rory – germanna
- Kyra – umw
- Aidan – longwood
- Bryce – brother
These are some of my friends from high school, who have all gone different ways, and family members. The list is subject to change, because I want to interview so many people, but I can’t because I’ll go crazy . . .
So, I put up a script, or an outline, at least, because I can’t write the answers that the people will answer already:
Script
(opens to me in my room, at my desk)
ME: Hello everybody! I am Destiny, I am a sophomore here at UMW and one of your fellow students in ds106. I’m sure we all have differing views of Artificial Intelligence, so I am here to interview some of my friends and family, as well as a very special guest about AI. Without further ado, let’s get into the interview:

Things are subject to change as I interview people. I plan to set up an interview schedule, but I’m waiting for my guests to tell me their availability.
Thank you for reading!! Hoping this goes well . . . and that I can manage it with my papers this week, too . . . I’m nervous
