This is really cool. Love that we're in a phase of AI tooling where you can just wire various projects together to create what (to anyone else who isn't following the space) looks like magic. Also love that your kid was more impressed by the squiggly-lines visualization than the AI. There's a lesson in there somewhere I imagine re: dressing up magic to make people care.

(OP here) The double-irony is that the squiggly lines were in fact quite a bit trickier to get working than the AI bits!

  I assume your next project is to wire up some kind of display using that viz as the 'mouth' of Robot Dad.

    Agreed. I think something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD_NdnYrDzY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD_NdnYrDzY would work well.

    I nominate a Bender sculpture to be Robot Dad’s avatar

The ADC/DAC process fascinated me to no end as a kid. Spent hours drawing my own waveforms and playing them on an Atari ST. I wish the tools to do this kind of direct to hardware stuff were more accessible today.

This was the premise of "Web 2.0". It didn't take long for the bigger platforms to build walls around their gardens to capture maximum value.
