Major Misconception: creating with AI is just a one-and-done thing where you push a button and get a result. Not true! For example, as documented below, this sensational music video is entirely AI-generated (including the music) and it took at least 9 different apps to achieve the artist's vision. I'm fascinated by creating images and videos using AI and realize that most people hardly know what's happening in this explosive new creativity arena. Just in the image generation realm, there are at least five different apps that I've been experimenting with, all of which generate different kinds of results. Part of learning this medium is understanding which tool is right for which job. Another recent playful experiment is this video (without sound). It was generated from the AI avatar version of myself that I created with Midjourney a while back. Yesterday, I fed that still image to the new Chinese generative video app, Kling (which is currently free to use), and got this result: Where are the rest of you in relation to all these new kinds of creativity? In case you're interested, this is the source of the music video above showing the mash-up of apps he used to create it:
Got questions or other feedback? Please fire away!! Coming soon: New creativity framework mini-course, and I'm also exploring the use of custom GPTs for brand voice development to support content marketing. Stay tuned! Happy creating! |

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...
