Unleashing Creativity: The Secret Weapon in the New AI-Driven World

Unleashing Creativity: The Secret Weapon in the New AI-Driven World



This is no ordinary mince pie…. This is a Marks and Spencer mince pie you fool! They are freshly baked, melt in the mouth with all butter pastry, deep-filled with vine fruit and a hint of cognac and covered in icing sugar for that melt in the mouth texture on the first bite.

If you think you’re a dab hand at making up marks and Spencer’s ads on the fly and describing things in detail you may have what it takes for the wave of AI disruption that is coming.

AI is set to add an estimated 10–20% on top of GDP in the UK by 2030 and that’s just a best guess given today’s iterations. The truth is that AI is getting better at an alarming rate and new tools and use cases are being found each day. It will soon have a role in designing everything we put our hands on from bags, shoes, cars, adverts, music, movies the list is endless.

This post is primarily sharing my experience using AI in the past few weeks and raising the alarm for those who aren’t aware about what’s coming and also what skills they need to be learning and more importantly teaching their kids.

MY AI Experience

There has been a lot of buzz around AI recently wanting to see what the fuss is all about. I have dived in to see what is happening and not to scare you but it’s far more advanced and disruptive than you can even imagine.

Tools used in these examples (The Geeky Bit)

Chat GPT

ChatGPT[a] is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot developed by OpenAI and released in November 2022. It is built on top of OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 foundational large language models (LLMs) and has been fine-tuned (an approach to transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques.


Here’s a simple explanation:

Imagine having a conversation with someone who has read a vast amount of information and can generate responses to a wide range of inputs in a conversation. That’s essentially what ChatGPT is, but instead of being a person, it’s a computer program.

Mid Journey

Midjourney is a tool that generates images based on your text prompts through the power of AI and machine learning. This is similar to other AI art generators such as OpenAI’s DALL-E. Once you really know how to use Midjourney, you’ll have no trouble creating some truly unique pieces of art.

https://www.midjourney.com


After a few weeks of deep diving and using some of these tools it’s easy to see how it’s going to take over the world very quickly. ChatGPT is like having, not only an expert to get advice from but an expert that is willing to do the work for you.

For example you can ask it be a poet, a translator, a programmer, a music writer, an author, a researcher and personal trainer, a legal expert, a recruiter, a mathematician, an astrologist, a comedian… the list goes on and on. It will then assume this role and you can ask it to complete any task you wish.

Example Of Chat GPT in Action

Let’s ask ChatGPT to be a poet and think of something completely off the wall that is very unlikely to exist . In seconds assumes the role of a poet and comes back with an answer that’s original, creative and unique to you and if you don’t like it you can ask it to try again and it will give you a whole different poem.

While seeming novel and silly and something that is not very useful you can see that AI really understands language and entities at a deep level. When I asked what skills were used to create the poem, this was its response.

It’s of course less amusing when you ask for service level skills such as a business plan on your new product or a legal letter or a bespoke personal training plan. Because its answers are top notch and that means AI will undoubtable disrupt these sectors.

Today for example I used a ChatGPT to give me a list of features that future cars would have thanks to AI and I asked Midjourny to create using AI a reimagined Ford Puma of the future as if it was designed by AI.

Chat GPT Reply

Prompt: Create a press release about the future of ai in car design and technology. featuring separate bullet points of potential features as reimagined by AI.

Here is the prompt that I put into Mid Journey (note I didn’t put the image of the ford puma into the software so the software has to have some knowledge of the current models looks and aesthetics )

Prompt: Envision a futuristic and innovative redesign of the Ford Puma using AI technology( content: a sleek and aerodynamic Ford Puma with cutting — edge features like autonomous driving capabilities, solar — powered energy systems, and advanced safety mechanisms) ( medium: digital 3D rendering) ( style: inspired by modern automotive concept designs and futuristic aesthetics) ( colors: use a contemporary and eye — catching colour palette with metallic finishes and bold accents) ( composition: showcase the redesigned Puma from various angles, highlighting its most innovative features and dynamic design elements)

Here is what Midjourney gave me in return.

The scary thing is that both of these AI models are in the testing phase and are getting updated frequently, the 2023 version is going to look pretty dated in a year in terms of capability let alone ten years.

Ok I get it AI is clever — So what the hell do you do about it?

Early last year I received a what's app picture from a good friend and mentor saying he had just spotted a guy in a café wearing a t-shirt that was spot on saying “creatives are the new athletes”.

No alt text provided for this image
Not the actual image :)


At the time I smiled and replied, “Great T-Shirt I need one!”. But you know what? The more I think about it, the more it seems that T-shirt was onto something. Guess it wasn’t just a funny tagline after all.

The skills of creativity and emotional intelligence are going to be more and more in demand in the new AI economy.

“Creativity” has been identified by the?World Economic Forum , the?International Monetary Fund ?and global?business analysts ?as the key to our future economies.

It was the number-one skill set demanded two years in a row by?the 20 million job ads on LinkedIn , which labelled it “the most important skill in the world ”.

Creativity is complex. It’s not straightforward to teach and it’s not straightforward to understand. That’s what’s so exciting about it.

Emotional intelligence and creativity involves understanding and interpreting human social interactions, emotions, nuanced cues. Humans excel and likely will for some time on these qualities over AI as creativity, empathy, motivation and emotional intelligence are uniquely human.

As a marketer I excel at this. I think about how words and images persuade. How they make someone feel. How they solve someone’s frustration or even to attempt to frustrate enough that someone wants to go and find a solution.

Although it may seem that adverts or texts are just words on a page or a product image. Good marketers are toiling away behind the scenes attempting to make you feel a certain way or to influence your thinking.

Much like a chef who has mastered a large range of ingredients and knows their effects, marketers use ingredients too.

Here are some examples of thoughts and tools I use when creating adverts, looking for angles or methods to describe a product, a service, a pain point etc.

Prompt:Write a short text based advert for a relationship counsellor aimed at a man who works too much using the marketing technique:AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) use Visual Imagery and the core emotion of jealousy and future resolution.


Result

Attention:?Are you continually chained to your desk, feeling like you’re missing out on life’s precious moments? Picture this: Your partner, standing by the window, gazing at the setting sun, longing for the times you used to share.

As you can see the true power is in understanding how marketing works and can be used and the elements that make a good persuasive advert. If you can think in reverse and describe the output you want sufficiently well Ai can be extremely useful.

Winning lies in the hands of those who can describe the best

“Winning lies in the hands of those who can describe the best” — You’re probably thinking that’s a crap quote and what does it even mean.


Playing around with AI for the past week has shown me that the better you are at describing the better the output is. Here are some examples of AI work that was created in under a minute. Note how descriptive the prompts are. The long and short of it is, the better the prompt is, the better the output.

All of these images are based on Einstein’s Famous quote “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” In this case AI is limited and it needs our imagination to work.

Mid Journey High quality Art for those who are good at describing

Note: All of the images are unique and original and created on the fly for me based on the prompt entered. Which itself is mind blowing let alone its ability to change its design based on descriptors, mediums, colour tones and famous artistic styles.

As you can see from the examples above,?“today words really can paint a thousand pictures”.

The better the prompt the better the output so use and train your creative skills to get comfortable with thinking outside of the box, looking at things in different ways and combining unrelated ideas.

When thinking about art like the marketing example above before you get creative, think about the options at your disposal.

How to describe like a Pro

Ask yourself, What do I need to know to be great at describing art? Think about what makes art in the first place such as Mediums, Style, Compositions build a toolkit that you can use for brainstorming and experimentation. For example:


Art Mediums

  • Oil Paint:?Known for their richness, depth of colour, and flexibility.
  • Acrylic Paint:?A versatile, fast-drying medium that can mimic the effects of oils or watercolours.

  • Metalwork:?Involves creating art from metals. Techniques can include smithing, casting, welding, and more.

Artistic Styles

  • Realism:?Emphasizes the real, everyday life, focusing on ordinary people and their experiences.
  • Impressionism:?Tries to capture the impressions or the immediate effects of a scene, especially the variations of light and colour.
  • Post-Impressionism:?Extends Impressionism while rejecting its limitations. Artists like Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne belong to this movement.
  • Expressionism:?Where the artist tries to express emotional experience rather than impressions of the external world.
  • Abstract Art:?Does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of visual reality and instead uses shapes, colours, forms, and gestural marks to achieve its effect.
  • Cubism:?Uses geometric shapes and fragmented forms to depict its subjects. Pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in the early 20th century.
  • Fauvism:?Emphasizes painterly qualities and strong colour over representational or realistic values. Henri Matisse is one of the most famous Fauvist artists.
  • Surrealism:?Seeks to capture the workings of the subconscious and is characterised by fantastic imagery and incongruous juxtaposition of subject matter.
  • Pop Art:?Uses the imagery, styles, and themes of advertising, mass media, and popular culture.
  • Minimalism:?Uses simple, typically massive, forms.
  • Conceptual Art:?The idea or concept behind the work takes precedence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns.

  • Renaissance Art:?An art style in the 14th-17th century that focused on themes such as naturalism, perspective and proportion, balance and harmony.

Artistic Compositions

  • Symmetrical Composition:?Also known as formal balance, this composition has elements arranged equally on either side of the composition.
  • Asymmetrical Composition:?Also known as informal balance, this composition has elements that are not identical but are arranged to provide a balanced visual weight.
  • Radial Composition:?Elements radiate from a central point, creating a sense of harmony and balance.
  • Rule of Thirds Composition:?A guideline used in visual arts, suggesting that an image should be divided into nine equal parts. Important compositional elements are then placed along these lines or at their intersections
  • Golden Ratio Composition:?Based on the mathematical golden ratio. The main subject is typically off-centre, creating a balanced, naturally pleasing composition.
  • Diagonal Composition:?Uses diagonal elements to create movement, tension, and dynamic action.
  • Triangular Composition:?Uses triangles or triangle shapes, which can provide a sense of stability and balance.
  • Fibonacci Spiral Composition:?Similar to the golden ratio, this composition uses the Fibonacci sequence to create a spiral that helps guide the viewer’s eye through the composition.
  • Frame within a Frame Composition:?Uses elements within the image to create a ‘frame’ around the subject matter.
  • Leading Lines Composition:?Uses lines to direct the viewer’s eye to the main subject of the image.
  • Pattern or Repetition Composition:?Uses repeating shapes, colours, or lines to create a visually pleasing pattern.
  • Negative Space Composition:?Emphasises the space around the subject, rather than the subject itself, to create a unique, often minimalistic, image.
  • Central Composition:?Places the main subject in the centre of the frame, which can make the image feel balanced and stable.

Today’s AI isn’t just limited to art, it can make ultra real product photos and photo’s. Here are Three examples created today by me using the following prompts.

Prompt:The interior of an abandoned scientific laboratory, aseptic, white walls and furniture, on the floor scientist’s gowns thrown on the floor, gas masks and broken test tubes. In the background, behind the table, there is a very large and futuristic horizontal window through which we can see, behind a table, on which there is a closed metal briefcase, we see a POST — APOCALYPTIC city. IT IS DAY. THE LAST OF US STYLE

Prompt:A hyper — realistic photo capturing a moment of a model holding a transparent umbrella, standing alone in a cityscape while rain pours down( medium: digital photography) ( style: reminiscent of candid street photography) ( lighting: diffused city lights reflecting off the rain — soaked streets) ( colors: a muted, cool — toned palette) ( composition: shot with a wide — angle lens, capturing the model in the lower third, allowing the cityscape and the rain to be a major part of the image)

No alt text provided for this image

Prompt:An ultra — realistic photograph showcasing a model posing elegantly with a vibrant umbrella amidst a heavy downpour( medium: digital photography) ( style: influenced by high — fashion editorial photography) ( lighting: natural diffused light with additional front — lighting to emphasize the raindrops) ( colors: a monochromatic background with the umbrella as a pop of color) ( composition: shot with a 70–200mm lens, using a shallow depth of field to highlight the model and the umbrella against a blurred backdrop)

As AI becomes increasingly integrated into our daily work routines, the demand for individuals who can collaborate effectively with AI will continue to grow. In this evolving landscape, the key skills of creativity, deep understanding of human nature, and emotional intelligence will become paramount. Those who possess the ability to vividly articulate and capture the essence of ideas will gain a competitive edge, enabling them to harness the full potential of AI to their advantage.

The “future economy” is predicted to be one where creativity is not just an advantage but a necessity.

Creatives who excel in generating original ideas and expressing them will be at the forefront of the shift to using AI. Their ability to navigate complex emotional landscapes and innovate and adapt will make them invaluable across all sectors.


AI is often viewed as a threat to job security, whilst true it also offers wide scale opportunities for taking over monotonous routine tasks freeing up people to focus on more complex work.

Time to Embrace and Nurture Creative and Emotional Skills for the future

By now I’m sure you get the message, It’s crucial for us and young adults to embrace and nurture creative skills. How do we do this?


  • Understanding Active Sensing:?Active sensing is about taking control of sensory inputs rather than passively receiving them. It’s about exploring the environment purposefully to gather more or specific information.
  • Practice Mindfulness:?Mindfulness is the key to active sensing. Being present in the moment and paying attention to the sensory inputs from the environment around you is critical.
  • Focused Attention:?Choose one of your five senses to focus on at a time. Pay attention to every detail that you can perceive through that sense.
  • Observation:?Regularly practice observing your surroundings. This can be done anywhere — at home, in a park, at your workplace. Notice the details, the colours, the textures, the smells, and the sounds.
  • Active Listening: This is a part of active sensing that involves focusing on the sounds around you or what others are saying, taking note of the tone, pitch, volume, and the emotions conveyed.
  • Touch and Feel:?Make a habit of feeling objects. Notice their texture, temperature, shape, and weight.
  • Taste and Smell:?Practice identifying ingredients in your food. This not only enhances your sense of taste but also your sense of smell.
  • Exercises:?Participate in exercises that encourage active sensing. This could be anything from blindfolded touch and feel exercises, food tasting sessions, to sound identification games.
  • Reflection:?After your observation sessions, reflect on what you have perceived. This helps to reinforce your active sensing skills.
  • Consistent Practice:?Like any other skill, active sensing requires consistent practice. Make it a part of your daily routine.

Observing Example

When looking at a problem, service or a product think in reverse from the desired solution and consider different aspects.


In this example think of a designer handbag and consider:

Visual Appeal

  • Design:?The design of a designer handbag often stands out. Attention to detail is key in these designs. You might notice the shape of the bag, whether it’s a tote, a clutch, a crossbody bag, or another type. The design could be minimalistic and sleek, or ornate and elaborate, depending on the designer’s style.
  • Colour:?The colour of the handbag can be a major factor in its appeal. It could be a bold and vibrant hue, a subdued and elegant neutral, or even a combination of colours.
  • Logo or Branding:?Most designer handbags have some form of visible branding, whether it’s a logo, a monogram, or a unique pattern associated with the brand.
  • Hardware:?The metallic accents on a designer handbag — such as buckles, zippers, locks, and chain straps — often add to its luxury appeal. The hardware might be gold, silver, rose gold, or even gunmetal, and its sheen and weight can be a sign of quality.

Tactile Experience

  • Materials:?The materials used in designer handbags are usually of high quality. This could include fine leather, suede, exotic skins, high-quality vegan materials, or even embellishments like crystals or pearls. The bag may feel soft and supple, rigid and structured, or somewhere in between.
  • Texture:?Depending on the materials used, the texture of the bag can vary. It might be smooth and buttery, rough and grainy, or adorned with textured patterns.
  • Weight:?A designer handbag typically has a certain weight to it, given the quality materials and hardware used. However, it should also be balanced and comfortable to hold or carry.

Scent

  • Leather Smell: If the handbag is made of leather, you might notice the distinctive smell of quality leather. This can add to the overall luxury experience of the handbag.


Emotional Intelligence

  • Understand Emotional Intelligence (EI):?Start by learning what EI is. It involves the ability to recognize, understand, and manage your own emotions and the emotions of others.
  • Self-Awareness:?This is the ability to recognize and understand your own emotions and how they impact your thoughts and behavior. Practice identifying your emotions as they occur and why they are happening.
  • Self-Regulation:?This involves the ability to manage and control your emotions, especially in stressful situations. Practice techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or other stress management methods to help control emotional responses.
  • Empathy:?Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. Practice putting yourself in others’ shoes to see situations from their perspective.
  • Social Skills:?This involves the ability to interact well with others, maintain good relationships, and communicate effectively. Practise active listening, clear communication, and conflict resolution skills.
  • Motivation:?Emotional intelligence involves being able to motivate yourself and maintain a positive attitude, even in the face of adversity. Set personal goals and work consistently towards them.
  • Practice Emotional Responsiveness:?Learn to respond, not react. This means taking a moment to process what you’re feeling before expressing your emotions or making decisions based on them.
  • Feedback:?Seek feedback from others about your emotional intelligence. This can help you understand areas where you might need improvement.
  • Continuous Learning:?Read books, attend workshops or seminars, or take online courses on emotional intelligence to continue developing your skills.
  • Reflect:?Regularly reflect on your emotional responses. Consider if there are better ways you could have responded or if certain triggers consistently lead to certain emotional responses.

You be glad to know I have run out of steam but to summarize AI isn’t coming it’s here and

If you are a parent or a teacher incorporate creativity and emotional intelligence into your teachings, if you are a company prioritize these skills in your hiring process.
