Lore and some thoughts about AI

A concept test for a little narrative idea I’m working on.

Hey Journal! Today is a busy day for me, so I’m going to keep this one quick and light. I’ve been thinking about AI quite a bit lately and have begun to work it into my creative process, mainly with Midjourney, using it to concept ideas and help me visualize. I do hope to do some more with it. I have a few ideas around creating a narrative that not only supplements my words and imagination, but also plays with the idea of artificial intelligence and art in a more general way.

I’ve yet to play with AI—much—outside of image generation, but I have been tracking other applications and found Lore—a weekly AI newsletter—helpful. Like many, I’ve found AI pretty frightening, but as I learn more, I feel that fear shift towards curiosity. AI is happening, and I feel like leaning in—embrace, learn and grow stronger—is the best way to approach it.
