Newsletter 4 / Which one is made by AI?

Two images here. Can you guess which one is made by AI?

You might think, "Obviously, the right one." But here's the twist: I made both images, with AI helping out on the right one.

Let me explain. I spent about 10 to 15 minutes sketching on the beach during our weekend trip. I loved the composition and the chill vibe in those moments and tried to capture that in my sketch. Then, I used an AI tool called Freepik(a similar text-to-image tool to Dall-E or MidJourney). I described the feeling I wanted, and it generated a few versions. I then input my sketch, tweaked it a bit, and voila, I got the right image. Both images reflect my style and composition. So, I made both of them.

This is a good example of how knowledge workers can collaborate with AI. AI opens up many possibilities, but we should lead the way. It means that 'traditional' skills valuable to knowledge workers, like connecting the dots, knowing what you want, detecting and describing feelings, and understanding different approaches or styles, are still crucial. They are even more important than mastering the tool itself.

That's my #BearwithAI thought for today.

Here’re five cool things I’d like to share with you today 🙂

这里有两张图片。你能猜出哪一张是AI创作的吗？

你可能会想，“显然是右边那张。” 但有个转折：这两幅画都是我创作的，只是右边那幅有AI的帮助。

让我解释一下。在我们的周末旅行中，我花了大约10到15分钟在海滩上进行素描。我喜欢那些时刻的构图和轻松的氛围，并试图在我的素描中捕捉到这些感觉。我使用了一个名为Freepik的AI工具（类似于Dall-E或MidJourney的文本生成图像工具）。我描述了我想要的效果，AI生成了几个版本。然后，我输入了我的素描，稍微调整了一下，结果得到了右边的图片。两幅画都反映了我的风格和构图。所以，这两张图片都是我创作的。

这是知识工作者如何与AI合作的一个好例子。AI开辟了许多可能性，但我们应该引领方向。 这意味着对于知识工作者来说，传统技能仍然重要，比如连接点、知道你想要什么、检测和描述感觉、理解不同的方法或风格。这些技能甚至比掌握工具本身更重要。

这是我今天的#BearwithAI想法。
