People seem keen to swap AI 'prompts' - digital provocations that will elicit weird and wonderful outputs from our newfound Generative AI tools. But don't forget, it can also work the other way round: Generative AI is just as likely to prompt us. Its results can trigger associations and memories and make connections that forces us to push our creativity further. Our ideas fuel AI, but in turn, its ideas fuel our ideas. Take the below for instance: An AI-generated image that immediately inspires me to think of a backstory to accompany it. Or a streaming series that's a cross between Wednesday and Black Mirror. Or a game that's a cross between Resident Evil and M Night Shyamalan's The Village. Remember it's Human x Machine. Not Human v Machine. ps I bet that was an awkward Christmas dinner. #ai #futures #media
Human x machine is a tool based society and economy possibility. But we live in a society and economy that’s at the scale of the medium of the machine vs human for decades. No one is allowed to buy a “pencil” anymore. They must partake in the economic transaction and product lifetime experience.
So true. here at Spirit Studios we are using AI to offer alternative narratives to our own creative ideas for content. What is interesting is that when AI is tasked with creating a pitch or idea on a subject it invariably delivers mostly expected cliches and tropes. We can then discard these suggestions as being unoriginal thinking but also use them as the starting point for more original alternatives.
A really interesting perspective here Phil Rowley - particularly like the concept of human X machine and not human vs machine. A different way of looking at and explaining collective intelligence!
looks metal. I definitely get inspired by AI prompting. Any Luddites are gonna find themselves on the short end of the job stick.
She just wanted to hold hands
That girl on the left looks HELLA disappointed.
Very true. We recently integrated DALL-E with our foresight tool. Users can generate images for the signals and trends they've created/collected. Sometimes the images are beautiful, sometimes quirky, and sometimes they make no sense at all, but it's inspiring nonetheless!
Love that perspective Phil Rowley !

9moI like the idea, but... we don't need AI for art. We've gone centuries without it, our brains have come up with new ideas for paintings, books, films, stories. We really, really don't need artificial fuel for creativity, otherwise what's the point? Let's use AI for the boring stuff, the monotonous stuff that can be done without thought and leave the art to people.
