   Daily Inspiration: *"Follow the science behind the future."* - Futurist Jim Carroll

   So I've spent some time as of late working to understand this whole new world of AI-generated art, diving into platforms like MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, and DreamStudio. I must admit it is both wonderfully fascinating and productivity-killing.

   I pity my family going forward. After all, they have to put up with stuff like this.

   More importantly, though, I have decided that many of the slide decks which will be used for upcoming keynotes will incorporate the AI-generated images that relate to the topic at hand - particularly when I am talking about the AI Megatrends. These are the vast, sweeping transformative trends that go beyond technologies like ChatGPT, and result in dramatic change for mostly every industry.

   Next week, I will be spending time with a leadership team talking about the role of AI in the construction and infrastructure industry, and generated a few images to go with the talk: It's not hard to envisage large-scale AI-enabled robotic technologies that are increasingly used within the construction sector.

   Likewise, I'll have a few talks coming up about the role of AI in the agriculture industry, and so the science fiction idea of 'weed=zapping robots' is something easily imagined with AI art.

     @mjf_pro Imagine what my wife and two sons are going through every time I generate a new image.
