AI, Creativity, and Education

I really like using AI to scope parameters of research topics. I asked Open AI ‘what images might be associated with AI’. I turned that into this prompt at MidJourney: Head silhouette with vivid purple-colored circuitry. I then combined it with some photographic digital assets to create the composite image of this post.

I'm a lifelong self-taught learner; ‘autodidact’ is the term. When western medicine failed me, I taught myself how to take care of my body while as it healed from its iatrogenic injuries. I diagnose every day symptoms so well that a friend said my tagline should be, “I'm not a doctor, but I play one in real life”.

I taught myself computers, graphic design, 4-color printing, how to train for triathlons, rock climbing, big wall climbing, how to coach lacrosse, how to mountain bike and coach it, too. I never stop learning new things. I learned the parameters of AI so that I could confidently explain why creativity and education cannot be replaced by AI.

It's simple: we're human. Our super power is our capacity to believe. That requires imagination to manipulate our quantum state hourly to ensure that we keep on believing. When Albert Einstein finally realized that physics and quantum physics are two different things, he noted that “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited.”

Together we co-create each other's quantum state by merely believing that we can. When we believe that all things are possible, then we can choose. Quantum physics states that as everything is in a restful state of quantum probability. Merely believing creates quantum energy that physically manifests that quantum probability.

You've read this in the Bible as ‘sow and reap’. Others have stated it as, ‘Dream big and work hard.’ As major and minor media outlets breathlessly proclaim, “Oh my God! AI is so freaking cool — it's going to take over the world!” If a robot comes to my front door I'm going to blast it with my EMP stun gun.

But to my point, creativity and educational institutions are creating and growing the future. AI merely reports it.
