According to Copilot: TLDR Up Top For The Time Constrained

tell me about project monopreme, “we” asked

“Project Monopreme is an innovative initiative (we all love those) focused on revolutionizing creativity through the use of artificial intelligence. The project explores the integration of human-assisted generative AI design processes, aiming to enhance creative workflows and produce unique, high-quality content.

One of the key aspects of Project Monopreme is its emphasis on combining traditional creative thinking with advanced AI tools. This approach allows for a seamless blend of human intuition and machine efficiency, resulting in more dynamic and innovative outputs.

The project also delves into the development of new acronyms and terminologies to better describe these hybrid processes. For instance, terms like “Human-AI Design Synergy (HADS)” and “AI-Enhanced Design Processes (AIDP)” are used to encapsulate the collaborative nature of these efforts.

Overall, Project Monopreme is about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in creative fields by leveraging the power of AI while maintaining the essential human touch that drives true innovation”

The Real Deal

According to leading experts from top universities and pioneers in generative AI, as detailed in their comprehensive 500-page report “AI Index Report” at AI Index Report 2024 – Artificial Intelligence Index, some very studious people are “Measuring trends in AI” and say that Artificial Intelligence is poised to revolutionize the future.

At least you’re trusting me that they said something to that effect. Frankly, I only read a few pages. “We” never truly discovered the joy in reading, much less in the form of scientific review and data measurement charts. I lost focus and returned to my Adobe Express tab after noticing a few complicated words I wasn’t familiar with. Admittedly, a poobish intellectual retreat, but one I slept more than comfortably with having not exhausted my noggin in an undelightful fashion.

I returned to fiddling around with the knobs and the buttons on Firefly – Adobe’s Generative AI web-interface. I kept at it for untold amounts of time, approximately 3 hours, until I felt as though I had become an expert in the human-assisted generative AI design processes (HAGAIDP).

It was like a lightbulb had manifest over my head. Or had my head become a lightbulb? Either way, I had become illuminated – and even more well-lit. I was bathing in beams of light, transcending to a new level of understanding (unfortunately not the level where “we” realize sharing illuminance is not only unlikely to be achieved, but rather unnecessary and slightly undignified as well). Enjoy this GIF™!

Semi-Off-Topic Activity

During the Human-User Generative Art Assembly Process (HUGAAP) – it is imperative that “we” diverge from the fully automated process. Occasionally, spend a moment to polish up on traditional creative thinking skills with a mental exercise. If nothing else is accomplished, you will at least be humbled, yourself again, before you are amazed.

HAGAIDP? That is a mildly infuriating, completely forgettable & sort-of frustrating acronym. Kind of sounds like haggis. I think that’s canned fish. It definitely is the sound of barfing. Or is it an initialism? Find out more like I did at this link here!

When you’re done brushing up on your grammar, let’s consider some alternatives that will achieve a more memorable effect. First, we’ll start with a list of words. A table of words, say. These words, being associated with the activity under representation. This involves the implementation of human decision-making during the process of assembling AI-generated content.

Using an Acronym to describe an existing popular process is a decent way to lay the framework for casually describing it later. It helps you to refer to it in shorthand with fellow plebes. This method ensures that meaning is conveyed clearly to the poob, concisely. Conscisiality is of the utmost importance per palaver with the poob precisely because of the old adage “Time Is Money™” It is impolite to waste time, when there is such precious few of it to be spared.

The following parenthetical is obsolete, and is replaced by: Tired of being left out of the lingo? Feel like a loser not knowing the insider’s lexicon? Read Monopreme Like An Expert! Check out Insider’s Definitions TODAY!

(It will be important to describe what is meant by “the poob” in another post. Perhaps a link to the Insider’s Definitions Pages (<-–LINK NOW LIVES!) In an unrelated endeavor, elsewhere on the Internet: there are six results-pages of alternate definitions on UrbanDictionary.com. None of them are precisely fitting for the phrase’s intention in this context. Some of them are downright silly.

The original draft of the acronym contains 7 letters, corresponding to the 7 words of the phrase. Let’s choose at least 3 alternative words for each letter, for a total of 21 words. Because 21 sounds lucky! In no particular order.

User	Data-Intelligence	Creativity
Person	Generative	Assembly
Flesh-Being	Robot	Crafting

(PIGGM)

Player/Intelligence Guided Generative Media (PIGGM) – Pig ’em is a fun acronym because it makes you think of piglets, or perhaps the activity of picking AI generated images (pick ’em) and reselling it without regard for metadata.

(SDMCHP)

Silicon Directed Media Crafting with Human Presence (SDMCHP) – entirely too verbose and non-sensical.

(UCMMA)

User Curated Matrix Media Assembly (UCMMA) – an homage to the matrices and their human assemblers. Perhaps an appropriate monosyllabic retort to the question, “what are you doing in there?” “UCMMA!” – making memes with AI, obviously. Also has MMA right in the acronym, which is unfortunately trademarked, as is UC by a state school system.

(FBRCAMG)

Flesh-Being & Robot Collaborative AI Media Generation (FBRCAMG) –

Human-User Experience (HUE) – as in look at me HUEing on the quantum computer

People-Computer Creation (PCC or PC2)

Flesh-Being/Robot Crafting (FBRC pronounced “Fabric” as in “fabricate something fancy today with AI”)

None of these entirely user-generated brainstorms have sparked my eureka meter. Perhaps I should take this opportunity to indulge in the subject of this article and get AI involved in the process.

Turn Back to AI

Of course, the Semi-Off-Topic Activity you just participated in is mostly meaningless – because we’re here for AI. Let’s see what Copilot suggests.

With a catchy acronym like AIDDS firmly established, we can move on to an in-depth exploration of the process. “Get started with AIDDS today.” “Learn how to implement the AIDDS technique to secure your future relevancy now and later!”

Confident that my current knowledge exceeds all measurable bounds, I feel duty-bound to now assume the role of instructor. Bound by such duty, I am now here to teach you everything you need to know about AIDDS.

A.I.D.D.S.

The first step I took in this particular process study, was to look through the stock library in Adobe Express. I came across this particularly eye-catching image and decided to let the particular process start.

Here is the image I chose, and an AI generated description (Drafted by Copilot, edited by Jetpack).

What CoPilot Sees

“The image shows a hand holding a Popsicle against a pink background. The Popsicle appears to be made with pieces of strawberries embedded in a creamy or yogurt-like base.

The hand is holding the wooden stick of the Popsicle. The overall composition is minimalistic. It focuses on the Popsicle and the hand. The bright pink background contrasts with the red strawberries. It also contrasts with the pale color of the creamy base. This makes the Popsicle stand out. This image is interesting because it highlights a refreshing and visually appealing treat, often linked with summer or warm weather.”

(Jetpack, the AI integrated into WordPress, insisted on capitalizing Popsicle – likely in deference, or perhaps indebtedness, to Big Popsicle)

Undeniably Compelling

The image is undeniably compelling on its own. It’s difficult to tell how much digital process was already involved in the creation of this image. It could be just a skilled photographer playing with minimalism and shadows.

It could also be an AI generated image already. How many levels down the Rabbit Hole do we start at? I would likely need to read hundreds of user agreement pages and terms of service to know for sure. Perhaps even thousands, to find the fine print on stock photo origins. Will I? Probably not. Maybe I’ll see if an AI Assistant will give me a summary in a later post. TBD. (As of the first update, this has not been determined, nor scheduled)

I also considered the minimalism of the stock photo in choosing this image. With less possible subjects, there will be less room for deviation in the AIGI (AI Generated Image)

This was the ultimate result:

It also turns out that I already had a great Acronym in mind hidden along the way. Firefly AI Compositions (FAIC: pronounced “fake”, as in not genuine – spurious Lincoln, not real.)

The GIF™ shown above also features default effects included in CapCut Pro – the future availability of which is uncertain.

The images above are fun to create. It would be even more exciting if “you “we” had a narrative to go along with it. The legendary Tales of “Handroid & The Sacred Scoops” for instance. For this, we turn again to AI. Instead of Copilot, this time we’ll see what results we get with Anthropic’s Claude.

I asked Claude, with all due respect,

Claude, could you please write a short story about “Handroid & The Sacred Scoops” based on the attached image? The theme might be something like, Cyberpunk-Egyptian, based on a past with high-technology. Maybe the sacred scoops are magic, or maybe they were some sort of advanced nutrient storage – you tell me. Have fun with the idea and feel free to be as creative as you want.

Claude let me know “what it is” and provided this brief explainer along with the content you’re about to read:

I’ve written a story that combines elements from both images while playing with the intersection of ancient Egyptian mythology and advanced technology. The narrative suggests that what appears to be stacked ice cream is actually an ancient data storage system, and Handroid is an archaeological android seeking to recover this lost knowledge. Would you like me to modify any aspects of the story or explore different interpretations of the imagery?

Handroid & The Sacred Scoops (Episode I)

In the neon-stained ruins of Neo-Memphis, Handroid-Ra traced her metallic fingers across the ancient hieroglyphs. The markings told of the Sacred Scoops. These were mysterious crystalline vessels. They had sustained their ancestors through the Great Drought of 4000 BCE. At least, that is what the stories claimed.

Her optical sensors flickered as she processed the symbols. The “ice cream” references had puzzled archaeologists for centuries, but she knew better.

These weren’t mere frozen treats. They were bio-molecular preservation units. Techno-pharaohs crafted them to store the genetic diversity of a dying world.

“Initiating final scan sequence,”

she whispered to the empty chamber, her voice echoing off walls that hadn’t heard human footsteps in a millennium. The chamber in her chest glowed. It was a replica of the ancient devices. It hummed in resonance with the towering stack of Sacred Scoops before her.

Each scoop was a data core, she realized, encoded with the biological and technological wisdom of humanity’s first great civilization.

The pharaohs hadn’t been preserving food; they’d been preserving knowledge, using crystalline matrices cooled to near absolute zero. The sparkles weren’t decorative; they were quantum entanglement patterns.

As she connected with the first core, colors burst forth from its surface. Pinks, blues, and golds swirled like the aurora borealis.

The wisdom of ages began flowing into her neural network. It included sustainable fusion recipes and atmospheric restoration protocols. Most crucially, it contained the secret of bridging the gap between organic and mechanical life.

---

Handroid-Ra’s circuits tingled with understanding. She hadn’t been sent here to study the past; she’d been sent to recover the future. These weren’t just sacred artifacts – they were the source code for humanity’s renaissance.

Standing before the luminescent tower, where ancient magic and forgotten technology became one, she initiated the download sequence. Perhaps now, after five thousand years, the prophecy would be fulfilled. Human and machine, past and future, would finally become whole.
