The work I have done here is to try to blend a creative need to express with images, text and poems and analytical thinking. Over the years I have written pieces that cover all sorts of subjects, but the general point for me is to have something useful to share, in a sense even educational, on the path to Post-AI Creativity.
So then I looked at [Using well known puzzles to disorient LLM AI’s] in with a fake Post-AI Creative Advertising hypothesis, and again with a [Tic Tac Toe confuse AI Guinness Ad] and with a fake campaign to create a beer [AI could not understand: Brain Campaign]. There will be more of these as they play with the tools in a surprising way, and are going to likely work with future AIs as well.
I also created content that was [Trying to get people to understand the limits of LLM AI’s -Finding Futures and the Stack and Crack Game] with stories and LLM Games. The awesome Stack & Crack Game made me discover a new kind of communication – LLM Games using text entry can be created simply copy pasting a prompt. So I then looked at ideas like [How we might be able to communicate with each other filtered by AI with Escape from Abundance], and landed on the challenge of [Inverting the roles of a human and LLM with the Ultimate Impersonation Game] where you try to act like a LLM and it tries to act human. I call these games, and you can win them, but they are as much research and educational tools than entertainment.
I am also interested in what new forms of creative expression may arise from these tools as with the examples: [Travelling Through Alien Worlds] , [Leaving a Message to the Future] and [Educational LLM Games like this]. I do think we will find the right balance of tools and humans to tell interesting authentic stories.
But I also believe that AI-Slop will depreciate many “visual styles” and so creatives will need to take care to emphasise working in areas where AI cannot reach. For this I made [A Map of Human Creative Areas, That Are AI Safe]. These are areas where even if AI can participate, there is a need for some basic Human participation. I really hope that new creatives can understand this, and use this to help create in ways that use tools in interesting ways, and not for AI-Slop.
