Deep dives

AI as a Creative Tool

AI can be a valuable tool for creativity by generating ideas and assisting in brainstorming processes. It excels at certain tasks that are more human-centric like writing, analyzing, and coding. The ability of AI to make stuff up can be harnessed for brainstorming and idea generation, providing a wealth of ideas to work with. Tasks for AI can be separated into 'just me tasks' where AI tends to hinder rather than help, 'delegated tasks' where AI assists but requires human oversight, and 'automated tasks' where AI can work independently without continuous human monitoring.
