I’d like to share a prompt where I liked my usage of AI: using a generative LLM to help me create art that will help me keep peace in my life through capturing a lesson on Flow. Here I highlight a beautiful power of AI. Simultaneously, I will regularly post critical about the scary power of AI; stuff that I think we should look badly upon.
— The Prompt —
Generate a visual that represents The Flow of Life.
Style-wise I am thinking of a calming and slightly vibrant painting. With soft strokes characterizing the flow.
The focus point of attention is the word “flow” represented in a flowing river from above.
“flow” is predominantly deep purple, like space but a tad more light.
All is expressed through the form of nature (e.g., a pattern of leaves in a river, or a group of birds reminding of something).
With “flow” being The Flow of Life I mean the following: “The fact of reality that we as conscious beings are very dependent on the bigger flow on which we were dropped regarding the direction of our own Life. However, this doesn’t mean one cannot row. One can row, but will cover the most distance if this rowing is done in harmony with the bigger flow.”
As details around this “flow” there can vaguely be seen words like “fears”, “hopes”, “dreams”, “desires”, all represented through some natural phenomena. These words are darker approaching black.
The whole image is a bird eye’s view of nature with a central flowing river that feels natural yet is beautiful. The word “flow” is clearly centrally represented.

I was not too impressed by this result. If only I took the time to paint, I think I could make something more beautiful. Yay human artists!
