Generative AI

I’ve been working with generative AI since I produced my revolutionary performing arts piece, Artificial Awakening, which premiered in 2021. It was a truly magical experience to witness the various modalities unfold, including text, images, music, video, and 360-degree environments. Since then, the text model I had access to in beta has become the global phenomenon now known as ChatGPT. It has revolutionised my life – and the lives of millions of others.

These past four years have been magical, and I feel the power of the revolution with intensity. My creative process has undergone significant changes, and I’ve developed new workflows for nearly every aspect of my work. My ability to execute on ideas has received a serious boost.

There is so much to share, but at the same time, I often feel I can barely keep up with the progress it has enabled me to pursue. These new abilities don’t just accelerate output – they invite profound psychological shifts. The creative engagement is being rewired in real time.

I believe there’s a wide range of diverse values, skills, and personality traits that must be consciously cultivated to reap the full benefits of this new creative paradigm. One of the important is discipline, not in the conventional sense of rigid control, but as a grounding force that allows for integration, discernment, and sustained depth.

We’re at the beginning of something vast. And while the tools evolve at breathtaking speed, it’s our capacity to stay present, focused, and balanced within that determines whether we transcend or become overwhelmed.
