AI Recipes, World-Building Importance, and The Grand Royalty Chase

Hi friend,

How are you? I hope your week is going well.

In this exclusive bi-weekly news commentary for paid subscribers, I share a few news items that stood out for me as the visual storytelling landscape continues to evolve.

Can A.I. Write Recipes Better Than Humans? We Put It to the Ultimate Test.

The gist: Researchers are using artificial intelligence to create recipes, complete with appetizing photos and back stories. But will they pass the taste test?

Why it matters: Remember your school or college years? One key skill was the ability to take notes while listening to your instructors or analyzing and summarizing academic articles after first drowning them in yellow marker, right?

I was quite lousy at that.

Well, today this skill is exponentially blown up using AI or GPT3. Because computing power can now scan billion pieces of information on the internet, analyze them and come up with an original output, we have started seeing text prompts that yield inventive images, videos, blog titles, blog posts and now - even recipes.
