A little party with AI

What was the last thing you did for play or fun?

Daily Writing Prompt

The last time I did something fun was playing with AI. ChatGPT has a new tool that lets you create different kinds of images. You can download your photo, and that’s all you need. It writes the prompt for you.

I took a selfie, and the result is shown in the image. I think it’s so cute and cuddly. I wish it could be real. I use the image as a profile photo on this blog and on one of my Instagram accounts.

Using AI is like a party. I use it a lot for both fun and serious things. It’s suitable for checking grammar and providing helpful feedback. I use both ChatGPT and Gemini to help me write fiction. Sometimes it can express my thoughts exactly as I wanted to say. I write a chapter, then check the spelling and grammar with AI. Sometimes it suggests storylines for how to continue a story, and when it gets interesting, I can spend hours reading AI-generated stories based on the one I provided. It is an excellent fiction writer. The only downside is that it doesn’t check for explicit content. Not yet, anyway.

You still need to think for yourself when you use AI. It isn’t perfect, but it’s an excellent tool for creating. Many people use AI as a substitute for creating content, but it’s meant to help, not do everything for you.

Creativity is the key to happiness

Creativity comes in many forms. You can be creative even if you think you’re not. Creativity can be things you do daily. Even thinking about what to eat for lunch or dinner is creativity. The creativity I’m going to write about is creating something from scratch. Creativity is the key to happiness, so here I go.

For as long as I remember, I’ve had a good imagination for storytelling. Mainly in Swedish and English. I never seem to get any ideas for writing in Finnish. Now I only write things in English. It’s more fun, and I’ve learned the English language simultaneously. I also watch a lot of movies and TV shows in that language. Being creative makes me happy. It’s a plus side if someone likes what I write. Otherwise, I wouldn’t post them online. I wish I could have the same enthusiasm for graphic design that I have for writing. I can make up stories, but I can’t write news, so I couldn’t be a journalist. Creativity is no fun when you don’t know what or how to create things. It feels like there are people who are much better at it. A portfolio is an essential thing if you want to work in design. But mine is lame because it doesn’t have any work I’ve been paid to do. But how could I have any when I don’t even get internships? I can’t come up with made-up projects either. My imagination is primarily fictional, but only when I write.

Some are more creative than others. It can also come and go. One day you feel creative, and the other, you’re not. You can’t force it. When I don’t know what to write if it’s blogging or fiction, I do something else instead. I plan things in my head before I write them down. Then there are times when I have a lot to write about. It depends on the day or the mood I’m in. My creativity style is emotional. If I don’t have the “feel”, I don’t do anything. Without inspiration, no one can do anything. If everything is said and done, there is no point in forcing yourself to be creative. I could say the same about this blog post. I’m out of creativity right now. I leave it to another day.
