How To Start Creating With Artificial Intelligence

Ammaar Reshi has gone viral a few times in recent months due to his AI experiments 🤖

Check these out…

• Alice and Sparkle children’s book, made in a weekend, earned $45 the first day but also prompted death threats 😱
• 8-minute interview with a dead president, made in 3 hours.
• Animated Batman short, made in 6 hours, 7 million views.
• World War 2 movie trailer, made in a weekend, using AI text-to-video.

Creator Economy has an interview with Ammaar where they ask…

It’s great that you built this reputation without needing some machine learning PhD. You simply used the tools to create stuff.

Ammaar replied…

Exactly. And that’s what makes this space so special—anyone can jump in and pick up these tools. Your imagination is the limit.

He goes on to share the 3-step process he uses to create with AI…

1. Pick a use case: e.g., Children’s book.

2. Break down the steps: e.g., Story, illustration, publishing.

3. Find the right tool for each step. e.g., ChatGPT, Midjourney, Amazon.
