One thing I should emphasise is that AI doesn’t just do the work for you - you need to work in conjunction with AI and treat AI as a co-intelligence partner that amplifies your human capabilities. This perspective encourages us to engage with AI in a more collaborative manner, where both human and machine intelligence shape the creative process.
