โŒš๏ธ Take Time to Tap In โŒš๏ธ

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.๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ‘‡

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...

AI Arnie, my virtual intern, alter ego, synthetic self, has evolved. He's excited about helping me to be more consistent in generating valuable content for y'all. Conjured with MidJourney Arnie is also encouraging me to release my inner artist. While playing in the AI Salon (free virtual community), I used a minimal prompt and iterative process to conjure this new piece of AI generative art: Conjured with MidJourney Do you see more impatience or perseverance or something else in her...

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. What have you created...
