AmiSight 11/12: AI Is Bringing Out My Inner Cartoonist
I remember when cameras on iPhones started getting really good. Suddenly, I found myself taking pictures of things I thought were funny, interesting, or just a little unusual. I wasn’t trying to become a photographer. I just enjoyed capturing moments and sharing them with people.
Now AI has taken that instinct to a whole new level.
I’ve become a little addicted to making funny AI cartoons. I’ll take a picture of a friend, dream up some ridiculous scenario, and within seconds I’ve got a cartoon that would have been impossible for me to create on my own. The more I play with it, the more ideas I get. And the more ideas I get, the more cartoons I make.
I’m having a blast.
What I find interesting is that AI isn’t replacing my creativity. It’s giving it somewhere to go. I’ve always had a quirky sense of humor and enjoyed making people laugh. Now I have a tool that lets me turn those silly ideas into something I can actually share.
We spend so much time talking about how AI will make us more productive at work. And that’s important. But I’m discovering another benefit. It’s helping me exercise a part of my brain that doesn’t always get enough attention.
I’m not sure my friends appreciate the growing number of cartoons featuring them in ridiculous situations. But I’m pretty sure they’re laughing.
And so am I.
Maybe one of the best uses of AI isn’t just helping us work smarter. Maybe it’s helping us play a little more, too.
