Show HN: Provide a short description, get animated character with deep backstory

A project I started as a way to get more mileage with various LLM applications. I've been surprised by how good some of the character designs that get generated are:

1. https://ki-storygen.com/characters/public/BARSKIN_BARTHOLOME... came from an elephant version of Rick from Casablanca

2. https://ki-storygen.com/characters/public/PNGR_BORIN_001 from a fairly generic gruff dwarf warrior description with dwarf replaced with penguin

I'm using GCP's Veo for the video generation (veo 2, IIUC Veo 3 is still behind an allowlist I haven't been able to get approval for), and the GCP ethical AI checks seem to really agressively refuse to generate anything vaugely human (the above penguin included). So elephants, turtles, mice, etc. have been the best result for videos.

Would love to see thoughts -- I know GenAI & Art/Entertainment is a very fraught topic, but I also think there are some fun applications like this where its really not replacing anyone's work.

And a future "Lady's Illustrated Primer" a la Diamond Age would just be so cool.
