Playtime with AI
Hi, you can call me, Dr. Phyl.
I teach a variety of technology courses. I also teach a graduate course in AI symbiosis, in which students learn to guide AI rather than let it lead them. We learn how to conduct ethical and efficient research as well as to hone our creative skills through human-led AI partnerships.
We also investigate how simple it is to create fake news and go down the wrong rabbit trail. Here are some examples of how to learn by playing (experimenting) with new technologies.
One way to better understand AI is to personify it. That can be a dark path. If you would like to join us to learn and/or play with AI, drop me a line at phylisawest@gmail.com

It really begins just by playing
There are many free AI services and most provide a free trial period. Take advantage of those opportunities while they exist. One of my first projects involved creating with Sora. I created dolls from two avatars and then let them loose. I have watched many of my favorite free apps require costly fees quickly. So play while you can - and only invest when you really have found a gem. Even then, always be on the lookout for what's there.. Technology changes quickly. Be ready before it becomes a necessity to use AI. It is unlikely that any of us will escape its presence. So learn now, so you can be prepared to lead it, rather than it lead you.
