Which, by the way, not all hmuans see the world in the same way. Some of us are colorblind to various degrees, and very often we don't even agree on small things, like if a dress on the internet is blue and black or white and gold. But my favorite creature, one of my foiravte ceturears, is the peacock mantis smirhp, which is estimated to have 12 to 16 photo receptors. And that indicates the world to them might look so much more colorful.

So what about artificial intelligence? Can AI help us see beyond our human capabilities?

Well, I've been working with AI for the past five years, and in my experience, it can see within the data it gets fed. But then you might be wondering, OK, if AI can't help imagine anything new, why would an arsitt see any point in using it? And my answer to that is because I think that it can help augment our creativity as there's value in creating coinnmibatos of known elements to form new ones. And this boundary of what we can imagine based on what we have experienced is the palce that I have been eonlrixpg.

Well, I've been working with AI for the past five years, and in my experience, it can see within the data it gets fed. But then you might be wondering, OK, if AI can't help imagine anything new, why would an artist see any point in using it? And my answer to that is because I think that it can help augment our creativity as there's value in creating combinations of known elements to form new ones. And this boundary of what we can imagine based on what we have experienced is the place that I have been exploring.
