2024 Work In Progress

Welcome to 2024. To kick off the year a short conversation with our favourite new 2023 companions…

Prompting ChatGPT:

I think that we continue to find ways to live with AI, that we will get mundane AI in everything. The tools we create will start to shape us indeed. We have still agency on how this will shape us. Are we really using it as tools (aka assistants) or are the tools dictating us? Do we delegate the human creative work to the AI and get uncanny results, instead of delegating the boring stuff?

I fear the tiny worlds we are shaping for ourselves. We create are own realities and with the help of technology we create our own paradises, but forget to indulge us with views of others.

I hope we will get technology that is not intelligent as a business model but as a inspiration for breaking out of our bubbles and polarised views. Let’s start to build these in 2024!

Dear ChatGPT, can you create a prompt for an illustrative image for this?

Improved by Notion AI:

I believe that as we continue to explore ways to coexist with AI, we will see AI become integrated into every aspect of our lives. The tools we develop will inevitably influence us. However, we still have control over how they shape us. Are we using AI as mere tools or are we being dictated by them? Are we delegating creative work to AI and getting unsettling results instead of offloading mundane tasks?

I am concerned about the insular worlds we are creating for ourselves. With the help of technology, we are crafting our own realities and personal paradises, but we often neglect to expose ourselves to different perspectives.

I hope for technology that serves not only as a profitable business model but also as an inspiration for breaking out of our echo chambers and polarized views. Let’s start building these in 2024!

Dear ChatGPT, could you generate a prompt for an illustrative image related to this topic?

Prompt made by ChatGPT (vs 4)

Certainly! Let’s create an image prompt that reflects the themes you’ve outlined: the complex relationship between humans and AI, the potential insularity of technology-crafted realities, and the hope for technology to inspire broader perspectives and break free from echo chambers.

Prompt for Illustrative Image:
Create a thought-provoking and intricate illustration that symbolizes the dual nature of AI and human interaction in modern society. The central focus should be a human figure, standing amidst a futuristic cityscape, holding a transparent, glowing orb that represents AI technology. Inside the orb, show various abstract representations of creative and mundane tasks being performed by AI, like artistic endeavors and data analysis, to depict the diverse applications of AI. Surrounding the human, envision different bubbles or spheres, each representing personalized virtual realities, signifying the insular worlds people create with technology. These bubbles should contain different scenes, colors, and characters, showing a variety of perspectives and lifestyles, yet they’re all disconnected from each other. Above the city, illustrate a breaking dawn, symbolizing hope and the potential for a future where technology helps bridge these divides, fostering understanding and breaking echo chambers. The overall tone should be one of subtle contrast, blending elements of wonder and concern, highlighting the potential for both positive and negative impacts of AI in our lives.
