We just had the first episode of our new podcast - Keep Up, with 200+ attendees! Watch the recording: https://www.linkedin.com/events/7312934963937456128/

Larissa Schwartz (my PhD student) and I developed this new podcast series to introduce 3 “Must-Learn” Gen AI tools in each episode, based on our first-hand experiences of actually teaching those tools in our university.

How do we select tools to talk about?

1. Larissa taught this tool.

2. Larissa's students did great thing with the tool.

3. Larissa will teach this tool again.

Totoro by Hand

I drew this because I am upset by seeing my childhood's favorite art being made cheap and unappreciated. I remember treasuring every second of "My Neighbor Totoro" and eagerly awaited the next release from Studio Ghibli every two or three years. I treasured the craftsmanship put into every hand-drawn frame. Even though it is not the most efficient method to create animations, especially in the age of AI, it is the most effective way to connect and touch my heart!

When AI is churning out Ghibli style art every second flooding the internet, this is definitely one of my least happy moment about Generative AI.

Not everything needs AI.
