After going through the readings, I noticed Mark Amerika understands that ChatGPT is a tool that can assist anyone regain their creativity. He knows that GPT is effective at figuring out the semantic dialogue between it and Amerika. Sometimes, the results he receives from GPT intrigues and gets him smiling.
Amerika explains how he used the results he got from GPT and kept remixing them until he finally got what he wanted. “The goal was to ‘lose consciousness’, he stated. He explained that it was some kind of a human-nonhuman mind meld between the AI and him. “Being alive means making art and now is when the fun really begins,” Amerika said.
Amerika went on to explain that he goes on to change his results from how creative he wants it to be or random or the length of the output. However, he points out the fact that the longer the output and the number of outputs he receives depends on the amount of workload he asks the GPT to do. In essence, this means that the workload plays a huge part in the wait time and the results one gets from the GPT.
Amerika, stated that the GPT yields great results sometimes and other times, it will only bring a great result after several redirection, prompts, sampling and remixing. He added that working with AI awakens his creativity. Amerika points out the fact that it is hard to decipher if a paper, article and the like is part written by AI or humans these days, however, he explains that we can multiply our intelligence by working with AI tools because they can enhance our creativity.
My response to Amerika’s kind of creativity is that AI is a wonderful tool to have and that it can help jog our memory and awaken our creativity. With AI, the possibilities are limitless but we also have to put into consideration the ethical rules we have to follow when the work we created with GPT is for public consumption. This calls for the need to remix and keep prompting the results till the work is all ours.
