I'm an art director and photo editor. I'm a mentor, a teacher, a writer, and a public speaker. Just like you, I’ve been increasingly curious about the conversations surrounding creativity and artificial intelligence. I wonder about the impact it will have on my career in the creative industry. I created THE GRAIN to be a platform for meaningful dialogue with critical thinkers, and to share them with you. Leave your comments or write me at ronit@thegrain.ai.
Here are some newsworthy insights I’ve recently shared about the impact of artificial intelligence on our creative industry: A theory about why Instagram is overusing its ‘Made with AI’ label, the limits of ChatGPT as a comedy writer, and the shy flamingo that’s become a mascot of our times. Plus, my thoughts on Dada and Surrealism, and how Drake’s dance with AI got a creator paid for his bet on success.
