AI Coloring Pages
- Ryan Holiday's kids wanted coloring pages of imaginative scenarios, like a bunny in a helicopter wearing pajamas on the moon.
- This led him to introduce them to AI using ChatGPT to create custom coloring pages.
Prompt Engineering
- Treat AI like an employee who is competent but bad at taking feedback; learn “prompt engineering” to communicate effectively.
- Re-articulate original prompts with added learnings instead of simply giving direct feedback.
Creative Ownership
- Although AI-generated coloring pages look similar to regular ones, the key difference is the child's involvement in the creation process.
- This fosters a sense of ownership and deeper engagement with their art.
