Loved reading this..keep them coming. Riding this volatile waves is something else. Mad experience and only the strong minds will survive just like you need guts and clear thoughts to go through body suspension session. Very good parallel.
Thanks, and I'm happy to hear you got something fresh out of it.
I really do believe our human experience (physical/biological/mental) really just extends into all the interfaces, and experiences we develop and nurture online; so the parallels are just so omnipresent to me.
the only thing that bothers me sometimes is that after initial jump onto new tech like for example Ai art, models, deep learning, creating visuals..I get sort of paralysis and I stay away from generating, I try to read, learn, get inspiration and see what others are doing. It's like my mind has to process and is in overwhelmed mode. Instead of creating new images, experimenting I process the ones I made so far to organize myself. Is that something that sounds familiar to you may be or am I alone in this self protection of my mind..because in the end it is my brain only.
I totally understand this. I also think the adoption and normalization timelines for software/tech vary across industries, and artist-types. Traditional photographers learning to accept and fully embrace tools like Photoshop/Lightroom took a decade or more. Now its a standard, and the tools certainly didn't kill the art of photography.
I think AI will take longer to normalize; the inputs aren't medium-specific, so anybody and everybody can feed prompts. I believe this over-saturation will lead to a way longer normalization period for creatives, whereas industry work will likely adopt/integrate with it much more rapidly (it already is in many ways).
I personally work with content I have already created before feeding them into my custom generative art scripts. So I would say you are not alone; there are many of us that are trying to keep the seed in our minds well protected, and try to hone our personal creative methodologies.
Nope, just JavaScript. I have two pieces up on Makersplace, and a bunch of stuff I have been dropping via Manifold. Feel free to connect on Twitter if you have any questions. I'll be writing more about dev stuff soon.
Ahoy! Here there be dragons and the horse they rode in on. Looking forward to your posts and hope to facilitate the dialogue as it goes...
good to see you here Phil!

I love the part about keeping the seed in our minds well protected. Custom generative ai scripts you mean ? :)
