AI is a tool that can dramatically augment and amplify our creativity, and I realized I needed to learn more about it after my book on idea generation was published just before the rise of AI tools.

AI should be viewed as a tool that helps bring your ideas to life, rather than as a replacement for human creativity.

AI is a scaffold for human imagination, enabling us to see further and come up with ideas that were previously impossible.

AI is not just a tool; it is an agent that creates new realities, making it difficult to appreciate the dangers it poses.

AI is a tool that can be used creatively, but it should not replace human judgment in determining what is funny or valuable in art.

AI has both positive and negative aspects, and we need to educate ourselves about both.

AI has the potential to bring both benefits and challenges, similar to how fire can warm us but also poses risks.

AI is a powerful tool for rapid iteration, allowing designers to create directly from text prompts to code, which can lead to faster and more efficient workflows.

AI can be used to create both beneficial systems, like healthcare, and harmful systems, such as lethal military forces or oppressive surveillance regimes.
