🚀 My Journey into AI and Visual Arts

When I lost my father to dementia, a challenging period of my life happened. During this, I found solace in staying busy, learning to write online, and creating digital products. My initial fears of not being 'good enough' or failing were gradually replaced with confidence each time I published content online. This journey not only helped me navigate through my grief but also opened up a new world where I could blend my technical skills as a full-stack developer with my creative inclinations, especially in creating inclusive content accessible to people from various backgrounds and abilities.
​

🎨 Finding Inspiration and Fostering a Supportive Community

Inspiration often strikes from the AI art community on Twitter, where prompt sharing and learning new techniques from other artists are abundant. I love combining styles and keywords from various artists and my prompt journal to create something unique and amazing. Engaging with fellow creators, encouraging them to share their results, and providing authentic feedback has been a wonderful way to foster a supportive and inclusive artistic environment.

​

🛠️ AI Tools and Creative Possibilities

AI has unlocked a plethora of creative possibilities for me, from using GPT tools to enhance my online presence, finding keywords to hit algorithms for career search or advancement, to utilizing various AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Midjourney, Leonardo, Runway, Pika, Kaiber, Canva, Adobe Express, Firefly, Photoshop, and ClipDrop to name a few, in my creative projects. These tools have not only enhanced my productivity but have also allowed me to explore, experiment, and share new things with a wider audience.

​

🌟 Advice for Emerging Visual Artists

For those starting out in AI, my advice is to be open-minded, willing to try different tools, and be mindful of your spending, especially on subscriptions and learning resources. Remember that your ideas matter, and developing your own personal style is crucial. Be flexible and adaptive, as the field of AI is ever-evolving.
​

🤖 AI in My Creative Process

AI has significantly altered my creative process, enabling me to create more content and continually investigate and experiment with new things. I keep a Google sheet open at all times for text prompts and use various tools like Mem for developing ideas and Tweet Hunter for scheduling and AI writing, to enhance and add a visual element to my content.

However, if you truly want to elevate your content game, you need to know how to use these AI tools effectively. Here is some of the be strategies and best practices for mastering AI-generated content:

​
​Focus on the end goal: AI-generated content is a means to an end – it's a tool that can help you achieve your content goals. So, before you start using AI tools, make sure you have a clear understanding of what you want to achieve with your content.

Use AI-generated content as a starting point: AI-generated content can help you generate ideas and kickstart your creative process, but it shouldn't be the end-all-be-all of your content creation. Use AI-generated content as a starting point, and then add your own unique voice and perspective.

Keep it human: AI-generated content can sometimes feel robotic or formulaic. To avoid this, make sure you add your own personal touch and inject some humanity into your content.

Experiment: AI-generated content is still relatively new, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. So, don't be afraid to experiment with different tools, techniques, and strategies to find what works best for you.
