(1) It's critical that advances in AI be understood by those from the humanities and creative arts. This is because commercially available AI will soon cross the point where, to paraphrase Arthur C. Clarke, it will become 'indistinguishable from magic'. #scifi #dalle2 #futurism Image
(2) When talking of magic “There are only two worlds-your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy. Worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality is not important. What is important is that they are there..." #dalle2 Image
(3) "...These worlds provide an alternative. Provide an escape. Provide a threat. Provide a dream, and power; provide refuge, and pain. They give your world meaning. They do not exist; and thus they are all that matters." (Gaiman) #dalle2 #NeilGaiman @neilhimself #London #Magic Image
(4) Advances in AI allow for each of us to imbibe in this magic. No more will individuals imaginations shackled by the constraints of their technical abilities. Anyone can be an writer, illustrator, or a poet. #dalle2 Image
(5) The same way that synthesizers unleashed a new era of electronic music on us in the 1970s (one that dominates to this day), AI will unleash a new era of mixed media art. @daftpunk @aboveandbeyond #aiart #ai #dalle2 #music #synthwave #synthesizer Image
(5) But that's only the beginning. Younger generations exposed to AI tools can sit down with their elders and use the technology to build intergenerational bridges. They can map histories and bring out hidden passions. #dalle2 #art #culture #history #family #community Image
(6) Societies that embrace the value of merging AI & Play, and AI & Education will see the greatest benefit from this. It could lead to radical reordering of what we consider to be Cultural Great Powers. #dalle2 #aisuperpowers #aiart #culture #community @OmarSAlolama Image
(7) The next decade could see previously unheard of creators from what would be considered cultural minnows now, rising up to unprecedented heights; having a powerful, equal playing field to share fresh, bold new stories, in creative formats. #dalle2 #aisuperpowers #aiart Image

I don't think people have fully grasped the power of full stack AI (e.g. combining transcription, editing, and visual generation) when it comes to helping engage with and grow or augment 'accepted norms' around culture and history. #AI #dalle2 #culture #history #art #gpt3
Personal histories are something that have historically been the preserve of privileged communities; with people from immigrant backgrounds, or those that have a rich history of oral storytelling, often having a much 'thinner' sense of their own sense of place. #dalle2 #immigrant
There are over 300m first generation immigrants globally; when you factor in second and third generation immigrants, along with migrants from nomadic or other similar communities the impact of this is well over a billion individuals. #dalle2 #AI #art #immigrant #nomad #history
