AI and Storytelling

The power of #AI today is truly amazing…

We can generate incredibly realistic images and even video scenes with remarkable detail, all thanks to increasingly sophisticated models, the right prompts or references. It’s clear that the technical barriers to creating visual media are rapidly diminishing.

This rapid evolution naturally leads to a critical question for many of us: What is the unique value proposition in a world where AI can generate visuals with such ease?

While AI can generate breathtaking visuals, I believe there’s a crucial element it cannot yet replace in the hands of a skilled creator: the art of storytelling. It’s the human touch that understands how to weave a narrative using a sequence of shots, deliberately chosen angles, and thoughtful pacing. It’s about building emotion, tension, and connection through the thoughtful arrangement of visual information – a skill deeply rooted in human experience and intuition.

Perhaps now, more than ever, is the time for us to double down on sharpening our storytelling skills. As AI handles more of the generation, our ability to conceptualize, structure, and tell compelling stories will become our most invaluable asset. Let’s focus on mastering the narrative craft, for the future of creativity.

16 Years of e-Reading

Sixteen years, six Kindles, and countless books and stories later, my love for e-reading remains unwavering. From the original black and white to the latest color display, each iteration has been a portal to a different world.

In a world saturated with digital distractions, it’s important to have dedicated e-reader instead of an all-purpose tablet. No notifications, no emails, no social media scrolling but just the pure joy of reading. The convenience of a portable library, coupled with the focused experience, is irreplaceable.

It’s remarkable how much more I absorb when I’m not constantly pulled in different directions. If you’re seeking to reclaim your focus and rediscover the pleasure of uninterrupted reading, consider the simple magic of an e-reader. It’s a small investment for a significant return in peace of mind.
