03 Nov How to use AI to find Your True Creative Self in the Age of Algorithms
We live in a time where machines can finish our sentences, predict our choices, and even imagine for us.
But before we ask AI to understand us, we have to understand ourselves first.
At FILMARTIST, we’ve spent the past few years exploring how art, technology, and the intersection in between.
From building AI-generated fashion experiences to emotional design workshops, one truth keeps returning:
Everyone’s racing to master prompts and tools.
but the most powerful skill in the age of AI isn’t technical, because you cant win efficiency with AI.
It’s emotional intelligence — your ability to feel, sense, and express what’s truly you.
AI Can Mirror Anything — Except You
AI can produce a million images in seconds.
But it doesn’t know which one feels right.
That’s the difference between intelligence and sensitivity.
To thrive in the age of algorithms, we don’t need to out-perform AI —
we need to learn how to communicate with it, collaborate with it, make it be our creative partner.
That conversation begins when you know what you love, what you value, and what you want to express.
The Human Skill Machines Can’t Learn
Most people think creativity is about ideas.
But ideas are cheap now, because they are endless, instant, AI-generated.
What’s rare is taste:
The ability to recognize what feels true, and the confidence to choose it.
Taste is your emotional fingerprint — the invisible logic behind your aesthetic decisions.
It’s the human intelligence that no algorithm can imitate.
Once you understand your taste, ideas flow naturally.
You stop chasing trends because you have a compass.
You stop doubting your direction because you finally know what feels like you.
At FILMARTIST, we call this process Taste Training — a practice to help creators refine their sensitivity and build creative confidence in a world led by data.
A Line That Changed How I See
When I was studying sociology, I wrote a 30-page paper about a single photograph.
It taught me something I still carry: seeing isn’t passive.
As John Berger wrote in Ways of Seeing:
“The photographer’s way of seeing is reflected in his choice of subject.
The painter’s way of seeing is reconstituted by the marks he makes on the canvas or paper.
Yet, although every image embodies a way of seeing, our perception or appreciation of an image depends also upon our own way of seeing.”
Today, our “way of seeing” is shaped by algorithms.
But we can reclaim it — by slowing down, noticing, and feeling again.
Introducing the Taste Training Guide
To help others rediscover that awareness, I created the Taste Training Guide —
a free, self-guided exercise designed to reconnect you with your visual and emotional intelligence.
In Exercise 1 — Finding Your Visual DNA, you’ll:
Scroll slowly through your saved posts or camera roll.
Notice which images make you stop — and why.
Identify your three Taste Words — emotional coordinates that define your sensibility.
Build your Visual DNA Sketch — a soft portrait of who you are right now with AI.

This exercise is about guiding you to notice what moves you, using AI to discover the unknown so you can create from that feeling again.
Hands-on workshops to help you build confidence and identity in the age of AI
Experiments that explore how emotional technology can enhance creativity, not replace it
Coaching sessions on how to thrive with AI — to turn your sensitivity, taste, and vision into your greatest advantage
You don’t have to be a “tech person” to belong in the future.
You just have to be curious, and sensitive enough to feel again.
