Description
Investigating the nature of problem-solving with AI. We analyze Ted Chiang’s critique of generative models, the role of human artistic struggle, and how prompt engineering functions as a dialogic design method.
Key Topics
- Ted Chiang’s Critique: The argument that generative AI is a lossy compression model of human culture lacking conscious choice.
- Intentionality in Art: Why artistic value emerges from the thousands of micro-decisions and constraints navigated by the artist.
- Iterative Prompting: Chain-of-thought, few-shot prompting, and structured output formatting.
