Last Reflections and a Media Artifact – Kevin’s Meandering Thoughts

On this ultimate day of the 12 Days of AI, members are requested to mirror a bit on the actions from the previous eleven inquiry prompts. I’ve been an outsider of kinds on this undertaking, since I by no means joined the Microsoft Groups arrange for dialogue and I think about — primarily based on the prompts — that the people who find themselves taking part are college folks in Europe, not elementary academics within the US, like me.

I tagged alongside as a result of I’m curious. Although cautious of the facility and potential of the among the Generative AI instruments on the market, I admit that, as an educator and author and artists, I’m wondering about how we would discover methods to harness these instruments for creativity. So I performed alongside, and explored some platforms I already knew and a few I didn’t know, and tried to be considerate about ethics, knowledge and studying as I went alongside.

I loved the Mapify platform for making AI Thoughts Maps. I returned to the Holly AI website to discover sound, which was an odd expertise and I’m not positive the practicality of it. I used a couple of video AI producing websites, and whereas I may see all the flaws, I may additionally acknowledge the potential and the potential hurt as these websites get higher and smoother, and the AI deep fakes and faux folks get extra sensible. I’m inquisitive about Miro, a website I didn’t faucet as a result of it appeared prefer it was obtainable already to the college of us however it appears to extra multi-media Generative AI than most. I puzzled how the college folks had been utilizing it, to be trustworthy.

The ultimate exercise is to create an artifact of the 12 days of studying, perhaps by transferring throughout platforms.

I made a decision to ask Mapify to create a map of studying for somebody new to Generative AI, who desires to be taught slowly, and finish with a ultimate undertaking. It did. I like the way it led to a inventive artwork undertaking.

I then took that idea into each the Holly audio transformer and an AI Voice website, added some textual content to be spoken, after which wove these audio information collectively. For the picture, I took the Thoughts Map and used it as a visible reference in Adobe Firefly, and requested it to create a picture of somebody new to AI, in exploration.

The result’s odd, and the seamlessness of crossing AI platforms isn’t there but.

My subsequent steps? Return into the accounts I used for 12 Days, and delete those I do know I’ll by no means use once more.

Peace (splattering paint),
Kevin
