1. Human Connection In an increasingly automated workflow, preserving the human element is vital. I want to ensure that while AI aids in generating massing or visual forms, the core values of empathy, accessibility, and community remain central. I aim to explore how AI tools might simulate or inform human behavior in space like movement flow or comfort to strengthen, not replace, human-centered thinking. 2. Informed Consent Using tools like Midjourney or RunwayML makes me question; Whose work am I unconsciously building on? Are the forms AI suggests derivative of someone else's ideas? As a designer, I want to ensure my work and the work I draw from is ethically sourced. This also leads me to consider the future: if I train models on my own sketches, how do I give or restrict consent to others using those models? 3. Originality I’m interested in whether AI can truly help me generate original ideas or whether it simply blends existing styles into new-looking hybrids. By training a model on my own work, I’m testing whether AI can extend my creative language rather than dilute it. I also want to experiment with prompts and constraints that encourage more surprising, contextually unique results.
