As usual you provide a thorough breakdown of terms at play with many useful resources.

I’ve been pondering what is meant when we say something is produced by a generative process. What we do as humans is we read see many kinds of information (training) that we draw upon when we sit down to write or create art. Yet we are not algorithmic? Or is it that we have a purpose or intent?

At the same time the process of how AI content to me, with some technical understanding and attempted readings of academic papers, cannot find an intuitive concept of what a text or image generators actually does when it spits something out.

The new video for Everything is a Remix presents to me some clear and probing questions on what is meant by creating art.

Thus I appreciate your approach of asking students to explore through QuickDraw and the others. I had not tried the where you have to guess if text was human or machine written, I did poorly. There is one like it for images (try search on This Image Does Not Exist) where you try to determine if an image was done by Ai or human.

I’ve wondered too of a flip on the so typical thing done where someone published a post or article only to reveal at the end it was by AI. Ive sometimes tried respond to posts or blogs trying to write as if I was ChatGPT (use lots of sentences starting with “It is important to”) etc, might be an exercise to identify AI styles (likely harder in newest wave of tools).

Well just a long comment meant to be mostly appreciation for what you do so well. And noting too in your featured image credit including too the reason you chose it- some people notice the small things!)
