Curious Intelligence

Prepping for a Visual Thinking workshop at DCU in Dublin last month (part of a conference entitled “Education after the Algorithm”) had me pondering my current interactions with Generative AI.

I recognise that magical feeling of speaking a sentence into the void and being presented with an instant revelation – a conjuring trick. But if Visual Thinkery is about anything, it’s about listening to more than just the words, and following a series of small experiments – some conscious, some unconscious until finally the creation seems formed enough to be abandoned and released to the wild, before have meaning gathered and attached by others…

Curiosity is the seam of gold in the creative journey. And it’s with that very same curiosity that I’m experimenting with AI and wondering what it is – behind the magic trick.
