100 Days of Generative AI
16th Dec 2023 - 24th March 2024
I had been using generative AI since mid 2022, but with the almost daily advancements in the field, my fascination with AI kept on increasing.
To stay abreast with the field and be creative, I used AI for the recurring next 100 days. I posted my explorations with AI daily, which were not restricted to any tool, any design language, or any output format.
It was a way for me to be creative and have fun with AI without the pressure of achieving the best outcome or being original. I called this - 100 days of generative AI.
