⌚️ Time to tap into AI's creative power 🤖 Let's PLAY! 🎉

Published 11 months ago • 1 min read

⌚️ Take Time to Tap In ⌚️

I believe that AI's Creative Power is under-appreciated. Even if you understand that AI can be creative, I encourage you to spend more time collaborating with it in order to personally experience its power as a "co-intelligence." (Side note, Co-Intelligence is the title of a book that I whole-heartedly recommend.)

I find this image especially delightful because of the AI prompt that Heather Cooper used to co-create it:

"An enigmatic creature emerges from an otherworldly realm, its form a mesmerizing blend of vibrant hues and intricate shapes. Abstract & conceptual art brings this animal to life, with a touch of surrealism and a hint of mystery"

Note that the word "elephant" does not appear. This gorgeous elephant is simply AI's idea of an "enigmatic creature."

How do you get creative with AI in this kind of beautiful and inspiring way?

Short answer: You spend more time with AI and PLAY.

Longer answer: You learn more about AI and develop a creative practice following what Elizabeth Gilbert calls "Big Magic."

Self-serving answer: You register for this Saturday's AI Playshop with Kyle Shannon and me in order to learn more, see more inspiring examples, taste a broad variety of creative AI applications, and spend more time playing with the creative power of AI.👇 👇
