The Evolution of AI, This Time Told by Copilot 🤖☕
That is a fair thing to dig into, thank you. To clarify, going into that experiment I already had a clear picture of what I wanted. The exercise was really about seeing what Copilot would do with it on its own, then comparing that against my own vision.
So "Copilot generated ideas, I challenged them" was less about handing over the creative direction and more about testing what it would come up with when I gave it room to try.
I get why "I generated ideas, Claude challenged them" reads as the more grounded version.
In my day to day work that is closer to the truth. This post was more of an experiment to see what Copilot would produce, so I appreciate you pushing on the wording. It's a good reminder to be clearer about which mode I'm in when I write these up.
And yes, the finger count remains undefeated. 😂
SMcNicol Because I read your creative brief with great interest and attention, I noticed this sentence that got me thinking about my own process... Let me repeat: this is not a criticism of your intention or your talent for coming up with ideas.
Unfortunately, “AI generated ideas—I challenged them… or not at all” is a reality I’m seeing more and more often in my professional practice. And even more unfortunately, my partner sees it even more often—she’s a high school teacher! But that’s another discussion.
