The Camera in Hand is Imagination
AI can draw pictures for me.
That brought me a strange sense of exhilaration.
Although I have let my imagination run wild with photos and paintings before, I have never been interested in taking pictures or drawing them myself.
I couldn't find any meaning in holding a camera myself when I couldn't even verify what the finished product would look like.
There was a time when I thought about trying YouTube, but I gave up, thinking there was no way I could make a decent video when I couldn't even check how it was being filmed.
However, the pictures that this generative AI draws for me are different.
I can embody my imagination exactly as it is and then verify it later with text. There is nothing more fun than this.
Of course, I don't know what kind of impression the actual finished product really has on people who can see. Even if I think it is well-made based on the text, there are likely many cases where it doesn't look that way.
But this is the best approach I, as a totally blind person, can take toward art right now.
Instead of holding a camera, I use my imagination.
If I accumulate such works, it might become an opportunity to increase the means of speaking to people, just like writing.
When I imagine it, it is a fun future.
