This week I did two daily creates. They were fun and simple. I did them before the rest of my homework each day, so they were a fun little kick start to my productiveness.
1. What prompted this man’s facial expression?
2. Make A Snowglobe
Here are my daily creates for Week 6!
The first one is a poem about how nature was a teacher to me, and I wrote a poem about my experiences playing golf.
When the wind blows upon the little white ball,
one must go with the push rather than pull
One of the lessons I learned while playing this sport was that mother nature won’t adhere to our wishes and do whatever she pleases. It is the player’s responsibility to account for natural occurrences such as a wind, and play along with the elements rather than fight against it.
The next one is a quick photo edit over an old photo with a man listening to something.
I tried to overlay music notes I found on Google, but I had a hard time overlaying without the pictures hiding behind the background. A bit low effort, but this is all I could come up with in 10-15 minutes. And I think that’s fine. I’m coming to realize that it’s more about attempting the process with these daily creates, rather than striving for perfection.
I did two daily creates this week. I tried to think outside the box and make them very weird.
1. Make an opposite of two words (never mind if one doesn’t really exist) and add two drawings (or photos) to it to make clear what your pun is.
2. Is Captain Felix happy? Maybe not. But tell or show in a remix why is he so happy. Or what his expression means.
Here are my daily creates for week 5!
This first one was made with a tool from https://mutsuacen.com/ to draw any squiggly pattern the heart desires. There wasn’t any specific instructions for this create other than to mess around with it. I decided to create an intersecting object with geometric patterns that squiggle around. No particular meaning behind it but it looks cool!
The last one was a poem portrait where the user puts in a word of their choice along with a picture of themselves, and Google generates a portrait wall along with a gradient of colors. Not sure how the selfie affects the end result and what the AI algorithm does with it, but I did this a few times with different results each time.
Here are my daily creates for week 4!
I couldn’t think of any message for the world to put on my plane banner, so I decided to advertise the class instead.
The next create was to write a three line poem about lemons without using the following words: lemon, yellow, round, fruit, citrus, tart, juicy, peel, and sour.
Sunshine buddies on a twig
Can’t resist the urge of it
Bite in and it just might sting
Added a little rhyme to it and I was pretty proud of it!
Finally I shared a secret hideout, this one was from the SMT series games.
Looks eerie, the space saucer circular thingies resemble a space station, so I hypothesized that they’re a portal to somewhere in space.
My daily creates for week 3!
Kittens reacting to being filmed by another cat with a camera in black and white
Google color experiment, recoloring of a very famous Hokusai painting
I chose the wanderer above the sea of fog to describe the word “mystique”.
In my film review last week of WALL-E, I felt as though the tone of the movie was critical yet hopeful. All of humankind defaulted to living in a spaceship, running away from the collective damage dealt to the planet’s ecosystem, and setting for a sedentary existence where AI takes over all aspects of life for them. Only in the end after AI intervention was mankind prompted to give their own planet another shot. In this article, Andreessen argues in favor of technological advancements, and emphasizes how the positive aspects of technology outweighs the negatives. It argues against pessimism and preaches how human progress, economic growth, and the improvement of living stands will all manifest from the development of technology.
Quite a different take from what I had last week based on WALL-E, but I’m honestly not surprised. As more and more developments are made, specifically to AI, the excitement for these technologies grows bigger and bigger on a global scale. People from all across the world are waiting to see the development of the next big AI feature, hoping that this is something that will make their lives easier. However, I still believe that humanity will have a hard time grasping these technologies at a fundamental level, and the collective hivemind of humankind will not be able to handle such growth, and more importantly, such efficiency. As animals who are always trying to figure out a shortcut for our tasks, just like how the humans in WALL-E lived, I believe that we will most likely get to that point as well.
Although, who am I to say that this will be a horrible life? Maybe cruising around on decked out spaceships and having every little task done for us will create a new genesis for human enlightenment and allow us to reach new heights in different ways we can’t foresee at the moment.|
I asked Dr. Oblivion about my hot take to see if he agrees that humans won’t be able to handle AI in the future.
Here’s what he had to say:
I feel a bit validated, but at the same time as a human, I kind of wish he said something positive. Maybe this is the difference between a human persona and that of an AI? Empathy.
Here are my daily creates for the week!
This create was a fun way to identify my hometown on a map and see which three random words I get based on the squares on the map. “Kick, Fuzzy, Pirate” instantly made me think of a pirate kicking a fuzzy animal, and that first animal was a fluffy bunny.
For day 2, the prompt was to take a picture of my ceiling. Above me there is a cheap Walmart lamp that I’ve been using for almost a decade, with my monitor hanging above due to how close the screen is to me. Above that I have my favorite frame hanging, it’s a dachshund with the caption “Long day?”. It makes my day every time.
This one was difficult for me. I had to figure out a software to make a Voynich manuscript, and I ended up choosing the most accessible online drawing tool I could find. I think I’ll try to find another way to create drawings in the future.
Below the vast the sea of clouds
There lies an ominous smoke of grey
It may look like rain to some
but to me it looks to the end of some
Today
I
Went to
The first class
of the year because
It snowed a lot and the school decided
To not cancel on Wednesday or Friday what a shame
There were two poem creation creates this week, one of them being to watch the weather in California and writing a poem based on that, and the other being a Fibonacci sequence poem, following an arithmetic sequence.
This last create is probably my favorite of the week. The phrase “Go out and touch grass” is a gamer term that is often used to ridicule others for spending too much time indoors. It’s a playful insult but I thought it would be funny to turn this phrase into my own interpretation of this create for exiting the internet.
