The Wildest AI Film Awards

Hello Friend,

Welcome back to the Generative Path, your weekly infusion of AI-powered creativity curated by ZenRobot to keep you ahead of the curve with the latest tools, trends, and techniques.

This week is all about unlocking new creative dimensions. We’re spotlighting Udio, the AI tool turning simple prompts into full songs with vocals and production. You’ll learn how to control MidJourney results with seed numbers, meet The Dor Brothers, pioneers in AI storytelling, and explore the wild world of The Dor Awards. Add in Arms and Sleepers Radio, a nostalgic 3D rug ride, and our latest AI vs. Reality face-off, and you’ve got plenty to fuel your next big idea.

Feature of the Week: Udio

Udio is an AI tool that lets you create full songs just by typing what you want. Instead of needing instruments or music software, you give it a prompt, and Udio instantly generates music with lyrics, vocals, and production built in. Want it simple? You can type “upbeat pop track about summer” or “cinematic instrumental with strings,” and the tool builds a polished track in seconds.

This makes it perfect for anyone who needs music quickly. Podcasters can add custom intros, marketers can make background tracks for ads, game devs can create unique soundscapes, and musicians can explore new ideas without getting stuck in production. For anyone curious about AI music, Udio takes the long, complex process of song creation and makes it as easy as typing a sentence.

Creative Hack: Midjourney Seeds

Want more control when re-running your MidJourney prompts? Instead of getting a totally new result every time, you can lock the starting noise with a seed number. Here’s how:

• Add --seed [number] to your prompt.
  This tells MidJourney to reuse the same random noise pattern, which means your images share a similar structure or composition instead of being completely different each time.

For example, if you’re testing how one small prompt change affects the result, like switching “daylight” to “sunset”, a seed helps you see the difference more clearly, since the base noise stays the same. Simply hover over the 'More' Setting, click 'Copy' then 'Copy Seed' to start using to this useful feature!

Community Spotlight: The Dor Brothers

The Dor Brothers are pioneers in AI-powered visuals, turning generative tools into storytelling engines. Since 2022, they have created hundreds of AI-driven clips and music videos, some reaching tens of millions of views, and collaborated with artists like SiM. Their work spans narrative animation, immersive visuals, and real-time experiences, including Event Station, a project that merges AI with live audience interaction.

As part of the creative team at Pika Labs and frequent speakers at tech events, they continue to shape how AI is used in motion, music, and media. Their work is a standout example of how to make generative content not just impressive, but emotionally resonant and culturally relevant.

This Week’s Flow State: Arms and Sleepers Radio

Enter the cinematic, contemplative soundscape of Arms and Sleepers Radio on Spotify. Drawing from ambient, trip‑hop, and textural electronica, this playlist weaves emotional depth with understated rhythms. It’s ideal for deep focus, introspective work, or letting your thoughts drift. Press play and let the music hug your mind.

AI Trend: Dor Brother AI Video Competition

For this week we will look at The Dor Awards, the wildest AI film awards in history! With a jury of icons like Beeple, Logan Paul, Oliver Tree, Roger Avary, YDB, Jesse Wellens, Zoran Bihac, John Gaeta and more, this festival celebrates bold creativity without censorship. In an era where algorithms decide what’s “acceptable,” The Dor Awards protect artistic free speech. Submissions are now open, your art doesn’t need anyone’s approval to matter.

New & Noteworthy: Exploring Car City Road Rug

Imagine your favorite childhood “car-city” carpet, those little roads and intersections stitched into fabric. Now imagine that carpet transformed into an explorable 3D world. That’s exactly what BKG did: creating generative AI to create a POV video that “drives” through the cityscape embedded in a playmat.

What seemed static and nostalgic is now cinematic and immersive. The simplicity of a carpet drawing becomes the blueprint for a digital journey. It’s playful, unexpected, and a vivid reminder of how AI can turn childhood memories into living worlds.

AI vs. Reality: Can You Tell the Difference?

This week, we’ve got a brand-new pair of images to test your perception again. Think you can tell which is AI-made and which is the real deal? Take your guess and we’ll reveal the answer in the next issue!

Last week, we kicked off our AI vs. Reality face-off with some instrument playing, and now for the moment of truth, if you guessed the right one was the real deal, you got it right. The left image was created with MidJourney showing off the program’s impressive ability to generate hyperrealistic images.
