“…Negotiating with the ‘Genie’...”🧞♀️🧞🧞♂️

This piece takes you on an introductory and personal exploration into the evolving dialogue between designers and Artificial Intelligence (AI), focusing on the conceptual design process within the built environment. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining our intrinsic creative and human values throughout this interaction. With the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, we're prompted to engage more thoughtfully and critically with our language, considering the intent and expected outcomes of our communications.
During a call with old friend and filmmaker Gabe Tolliver, he quipped: "...Open sesame...it's the art of the Prompt...", highlighting the ongoing challenge of crafting prompts to achieve precise results. This pursuit of refinement in our prompts is crucial, as it can lead to vastly different visual interpretations. These outcomes may align with the AI's assumptions (for example, when asked to '...draw an apple...') or emerge from more poetic and illustrative expressions, offering a foundation for further refinement and enhancement.
Remember to revisit this conversation periodically; the dialogue with AI is an ongoing negotiation.
