About
Ascenti: Humans Opening to AI features a diverse group of professionals, known as "creatives," who specialize in visual art, writing, photography, audiobook performance, music, and computer games. These individuals experimented by inspiring AI apps to generate works based on prompts derived from their original artworks and writings, then interpreted AI's outcomes. Some of the creatives found that AI provided positive solutions to overcome visual or other challenges they face. Others uncovered methods where AI supplemented or amplified their artistic visions. Conversely, there were those who voiced AI's limitations and shortcomings. Artwork from the book can be seen in the accompanying pdf on the website ascenti-project.com
