Creative Warm Up Parrots: Using parrots to explain Chat GPT

Generative AI • Exploratory Prototyping • Mental Model Framing

In 2023 I worked alongside 3 data scientists to explore the potentials of large language models. Our goal was to learn through building, creating something complete and useful in under a month. Together we created a digital tool that generates creative warm up exercises - important tools used to spark creative thinking and innovation. I chose to frame the experience through the metaphor of parrots - because they are known to be something that can speak “human-like” but are not capable of human level intelligence, just like LLMs. Each parrot featured its own personality and expertise, allowing us to fine tune the outcomes of each individually. An article describing the project can be found below.
