TL;DR I made a Mastodon bot that uses Tensorflow, Stable Diffusion and Text to Speech to create flashcard like posts to study for the HSK Mandarin Test. Here is an example:

Introduction

I’ve been studying Mandarin Chinese for quite a while now. Far longer than my ability would dictate.

In the past I’ve studied in waves. I’d study for 3 or 4 months, and then I wouldn’t study for a long while - sometimes years. Then, I’d pick it up again and toddle around with it for a while. Learning Mandarin has become more of a fun hobby than any kind of life goal at this point.
