Discussion

Closing Discussion

Now that you've used AI to create across three different media, let's reflect:

  • Creative control: Which medium gave you the most control? The least?
  • Surprises: Did the AI ever produce something better than what you imagined?
  • Same concept, different output: What caused the differences?
  • Human creators: What happens to human artists, musicians, and filmmakers?
  • Energy cost: How much energy do you think that consumed?
