🌟 Quick Creative Play & Community Insights: My 15-Minute Cartoon + TED's Thoughtful Dialog 🎨 ✨


Here's what it looks like to PLAY creatively with AI.
As imperfect as it is, using AI, I generated this cartoon story in less than 15 minutes (no joke). If you embrace its jankiness, I think you'll agree that it successfully illustrates the power of my upcoming Exploratorium creative community. Yes?

FYI, my creative collaborator on this cartoon was a new AI app, WebSim that leverages the power of Anthropic's Claude, the ChatGPT competitor discussed in last week's email.

Because of the ways she talks about community and human connection, I've become obsessed (in a healthy way) with the work of adrienne maree brown. I was already a fan of Baratunde Thurston when I found this video of the two of them in concise dialog. Thanks TED. This means a lot to me.

As a community builder, I love adrienne's question: "How am I a fractal of community?" I am intensely interested in being a fractal of something larger than myself.

Plus, adrienne's use of the word "imagination" relates directly to why I think creativity is so important. If your life journey relates to this kind of conversation, please let me know.

Got questions or other feedback? Please fire away!!

Coming soon: New creativity framework mini-course.

Happy creating!

Learn about the AI + Human Equation

Imagine AI as a creativity and happiness enhancer. As is hopefully represented by the image below, AI can help, but only when we guide it as "The Human in the Loop." This kind of "co-intelligence" (as author Ethan Mollick calls it) is crucial. I'm calling it the Human + AI Equation. I playfully conjured this image with MidJourney + visual input from DALL-E. My mission is to help people not to die with their creative sparks still stuck inside. The creative juices for this work have flowed...

I've always loved this George Harrison lyric: AI-generated image conjured with Ideogram.ai This concept reminds me of the importance of vision, intention, and strategy in everything, including business and creativity. It also connects to my experience in playing with the exploding number of creativity-enhancing tools that are emerging from the AI revolution. For this newsletter, I've played with three different image generation platforms to get three variations on this theme. AI-generated...
