AI won’t replace you. But someone who learns how to use it—without losing their humanity—might.

In this reflective, hands-on session, Caelan Huntress shows how to use Generative AI to amplify your creativity, not replace it. You’ll learn to map your workflow to a five-step creative cycle—Collect, Sort, Craft, Polish, Publish—and discover which steps to automate and which to protect as uniquely human.

Through live demos, parallel prompting, and interactive exercises, you’ll compare ChatGPT, Gemini, and CoPilot side by side. You’ll learn how to coach AI like a teammate, refining tone, quality, and accuracy through feedback loops that feel more like collaboration than command.

This isn’t about working faster. It’s about working truer. By the end of this workshop, you’ll know how to identify the “last 5%” of high-value human work—the judgment, taste, and discernment that can’t be automated—and how to use AI to clear space for it.

You’ll Learn How To:

- Apply the 5-Step Creative Process to integrate AI intelligently at every stage.
- Use parallel prompting to test and compare LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and CoPilot.
- Coach AI like a teammate, using feedback loops that improve both tone and precision.
- Spot the human edge: find the creative judgment, ethical reasoning, and emotional intelligence that machines can’t replicate.
- Avoid “AI slop” by infusing your work with authentic voice and creative taste.

Expect:

A high-energy, story-rich session with live examples, audience participation, and immediately actionable takeaways. You’ll leave with new prompts, frameworks, and a reframed mindset for thriving in the age of automation—doing less of what drains you, and more of what defines you.

Can be 45, 60, or 90 minutes long, depending on the number of interactive games. Best for beginners and intermediate levels of AI literacy.
