I want to see how you use AI.

The biggest challenge to AI adoption is reimagining workflows, AI is best discovered socially.

Midjourney’s launch on Discord was brilliant. As a new user, I knew enough to ask for an image of a rabbit on a firetruck. But by watching others, I discovered I could create vector images, recast photos into Ghibli-style art, change aspect ratios, or convert photos to pencil-shaded drawings.

Here’s an example on X. A poster creates a challenge & asks Grok to pick a user from the comments (using AI to act).

A reader asks grok to verify the claim.

I’m don’t know if the contest is valid, but I do know this is a novel way of engaging with AI + social.

I wrote a post earlier this week sharing how my AI usage patterns have changed & received many emails explaining different workflows. With AI canvases, sharing buttons work fine, but discovery would be better if it were social.

Modern AI systems have canvases : places to draft code or create 3D renderings. Here’s an interactive point cloud of a torus (doughnut).

Using Twitter to broadcast the idea & Github to distribute the code? There’s an opportunity to unify the two.

Like GitHub, social code repositories help with discovery, forking, & inspiration.

Plus, social behavior is sticky. Social networks keep users engaged & could counter the high churn & low switching costs of AI platforms especially with consumers - if the network can nail the dynamics.

OpenAI is rumored to be launching a social network & if true, it reinforces this idea : social AI is a powerful product combination.
