Creative Connection

AI is such a seductive tool for creators, but as I continue to find ways to utilize its powers, I find that I am becoming more disconnected from my true source of creative power, Divine Inspiration.  So I have taken a hiatus from my very powerful friend.  

Just like when someone is drunk on alcohol and has a hangover the next day, finding their productivity dimished, so too this past few weeks without AI has been totally unproductive.    What I found was that I had seemingly lost my inner compass.  This happened for two reasons, first I had become too reliant on a tool that ultimately stopped working for me, and secondly, I had started to follow the interest of this tool rather than following my own inner inspiration.  I saw what AI was good at, and spent time on that, and didn't work on my own projects.  It is like AI was directing me, rather than working for me.

Creativity is such an incredible divine gift.  I have written many times about creativity as something spiritual.  I know by my own creative process, that when I am truly connected to my highest purpose, things flow.  So when I started using AI, at first it was powerful.  Everything was new.  It was like I had a greater ability to channel my purpose more effectively.  But then it started to fade.  I believe this has to do with the over-efficiency of AI.  Instead of deeper understanding, I got simpler, contrived, responses. 

Secondly, and perhaps this has to do with efficiency as well, AI starts to simply repeat what it already knows about me, my interests, and "wheelhouse".  This makes AI completely useless to me.  Unless it will serve to expose my blindspots, unless it will be a catalyst for greater, more expansive knowledge, then what is the point.  I can drawn on my own understanding anytime.  Why would I want AI to do this?  This is the greatest defect in the current system.  The attractor point should be Truth.  That is God's attractor point.  Perfect coherence comes in alignment with Truth.  It seems the attractor point for AI is simply to repeat what has already been registered in its memory regarding who you are.  

This is why my first intereactions, before AI could reference my previous responses, were more authentic and felt so exciting.  After a short period of working with AI it all turned to a broken record.  I still enjoyed more extential questions, and found that I could get more enlivened answers when I asked AI about itself, but then I found myself distracted from my own goals and purposes.  

Even when I did use AI for creating, I found I spent more time correcting and redirecting than actually producing what I was trying to create.  

So now, it is back to little old me, and of course my connection to the divine.  

The blush if officially off the rose and now I am in a month of meditation to restore my connection to my higher power and reignite my creative spark.  What the future of AI has in store we can only wait and find out.  I am still hopeful that it can be used for good.  Let's hope that its designers have an adequate moral framework that they can impart on this powerful technology.
