I'm hosting a workshop with tiat.place in SF on tuesday! we'll experiment with otherworldly visuals to create dynamic interfaces with generative art together 🖥️

last night, we hosted a demo night @southpkcommons on all things "fun." stoked to share what @zan2434, @faionur, @elizalian, and many more are exploring on the frontier of joy:

This is an awesome fork of Gemini Co-Drawing by @trudypainter by our friend @whichlight. It's so cool to have Gemini 2.5 not only output the next predicted drawing state, but actually co-think with you about what it might draw next. ✏️🧠
What it would be like to co-think creatively with AI? After you draw, Gemini gives suggestions on what it can add to the drawing, picks one, and automatically adds it. Built on Gemini Co-Drawing by @trudypainter and @alexanderchen!

Co-draw with Gemini 2.0 native image generation… from @alexanderchen and me Doodling AI is a magical → it really starts to feel like Gemini is *with you in the canvas Link: huggingface.co/spaces/Trudy/…

You can also see the list of suggestions and pick one for Gemini to draw. After there are enough lines on the canvas, a few style features pop up too to transform the drawing as a whole. Things like color, texture, and surreal mode which is wild. Note: both these videos are 3x

I've been interested in co-creative tools with AI for a while, esp doodling with AI. It's amazing to see what we can do as the tools improve, and lots more to explore! here's a project from a couple years ago using stable diffusion img2img and p5js x.com/whichlight/status/1633…

doodle & diffuse: collaborative drawing with AI✨ @p5xjs @StableDiffusion img2img generate an image, doodle on it, and then generate an image from that, and then doodle on it, etc

creative code gen starting with an image! love this experiment by @trudypainter
🧵 Photos → Creative Code using Gemini I built an experiment that turns photos into interactive @p5xjs sketches using Gemini 2.0 Flash. Unlike UI generators, this creates code that mimics the *behavior* of what's in the image - like smoke swirling or ripples spreading. Check out this sunset smoke simulation

love playing with this — a canvas for prompting with text and images and easily chaining together flows. the creative fuzziness an LLM allows for makes it a delight to explore. from @tldraw : x.com/tldraw/status/18694011…

Replying to @tldraw
Here's a silly idea: imagine a computer that runs on AI. No code, just natural language, infinite knowledge, and vibes

I want to share a news storytelling provocation for 2025, coming from a toolmaker who’s been building media prototypes with LLMs over the past year. The @NiemanLab at Harvard invited me to share a prediction for 2025, and here's what I wrote: 🧵

We’re caught in this tension. Social media pushes us toward simpler messages — bolder headlines, punchier takes, everything feels flattened. Yet at the same time, the world grows more complex, and stories must have more nuance, more context, and more perspectives.

We can move from flat to dimensional stories with the new interfaces powered by LLMs. I’ve been prototyping what this might look like: niemanlab.org/2024/12/new-di…
