What is AI and How Can We Use It for Creativity?

AI can enhance creative practice in several ways:

• Test our assumptions: Identify cliches, bias, and redundancy in our own ideas through "dumb prompting" creativity tests
• Amplify creative power: Utilize AI's capabilities to enhance and expand our ideas
  • "The ease of creating images with generative AI might lead to a surge in quantity, but for Pixar it's the quality that always matters, creating images nobody has seen before." - Dylan Sisson
• Organize workflow: Streamline project management and planning
• Generate content: Create storyboards, backgrounds, animated sequences
• Automate technical tasks: Facial animation, lip syncing, rotoscoping
