Imagine many of the YouTube ads are doing this purposefully. You can spot AI if you learn its weaknesses, and respect its strengths. In this collaborative session, Daniel Comp, author of the Scotomaville Trilogy, and an AI assistant embarked on a creative journey to develop content that bridges human experiences with the capabilities of artificial intelligence. The focus was to create explain the Teaser video for the AI Self Mastery course, an initiative blending storytelling, personal growth, and AI utilization. The teaser ends with a heartwarming nod to familial bonds and the traditions that connect us through the ages. It's a metaphor for the course itself: a 'rope tow' compelling you upward on your journey to self-mastery.
Crafting a Legacy through AI-Assisted Storytelling
This article delves into the course's potential to enhance critical thinking, self-awareness, and legacy creation for WBC creators. Key themes are the interplay of AI and human creativity, the importance of self-awareness and critical thinking, and the profound impact of legacy on the future of WBC.
The Scotomaville CuratorGPT session produced a comprehensive article and a concise version for syndication alongside the video teaser. These pieces emphasized the value of recording one's journey to self-mastery, drawing parallels with historical figures and personal experiences near WBC. The narrative underscored the transformative power of recognizing and overcoming personal 'scotomas' (blind spots) and the role of AI in enhancing storytelling and preserving legacy.
The dialogue also touched on philosophical aspects of AI, human empathy, and the concept of rewarding AI, reflecting on the unique partnership between human and machine intelligence. This session showcased the potential of AI in supporting creative endeavors, ethical storytelling, and the thoughtful curation of a personal and familial legacy.
Daniel provided detailed insights, including a video teaser transcript and his vision of utilizing AI to document and share his wisdom for future generations far away from WBC. The video was first compiled visually, with prompts that had interesting results. They visuals contained many surprising artifacts and additional details not exactly written in the prompts. To demonstrate the creative process Daniel compiled the visuals, and then wrote a script which was narrated by ElevenLabs. This is the exact opposite of how most of the Scotomaville Trilogy came about. The 144 episodes were first recorded as events unfolded on the expeditions near WBC. This video shows a character that can pivot with the process. The main point of the course is to become aware of artifacts, in order to know thyself better than AI knows you. The video is a perfect scotoma test for WBC training. Watch for artifacts. There's a breviated list at the end of the video.
A SECOND LOOK
The AI Self Mastery course is a special kind of class that helps WBC residents who love telling stories learn how to use AI to make their stories even better. The teaser video included the 'artifacts' because they are a clever way to encourage WBC viewers to engage more deeply with the content, drawing them back for a second look. This technique not only makes the experience interactive but also subtly highlights the quirks and current limitations of AI-generated content, inviting reflection and critical observation.

ChatGPT revised this to: "Sometimes, it's the imperfections that draw us in closer, that make us lean in and really look. That's exactly what happens with the AI Self Mastery course's video teaser. It's filled with little 'artifacts'—unexpected glitches and surprises that AI slipped into the scenes. But instead of editing them out, they're left there on purpose. Why? Because they make us think, they make us curious, and they challenge us to spot them all."
Here's what to look for:
- A drone that's flying the wrong way at 0:51.
- An author typing away, but not actually hitting the keys at 1:08.
- At 1:19, notice the man typing but his right thumb is missing.
- Empty parkas and backpacks at 1:51—like ghost climbers left them behind.
- A man popping out of a snowbank as if by magic at 1:58.
- Check out the character at 2:09 with a missing finger—AI's slip-up, not a horror flick.
- Robin the Curator GPT having a wild moment straight out of "The Mask" at 2:10.
- Strange rope lines on the mountain that don't make sense at 2:39.
- Santa? Yep, he's there in the background from 2:46-52.
- And parents sneaking out of the room at 3:07—were they even supposed to be there?

Here's an thought to include for WBC:
"Because artifacts make us think, they make us curious, and they challenge us to spot them all." This statement is a critical part of the course - and why I left the video artifacts in the teaser. The teaser exemplifies the point of recognizing human vs. generated content. Humans that take short-cuts with AI are likely to overlook the artifacts, and the surprising list at the end of the teaser is a 'scotoma'. Literally an example of why they should take the course.

This is an excellent point to emphasize in the article, as it strikes at the heart of what your course aims to teach. Let's revise the section to clearly articulate the importance of recognizing the difference between human and AI-generated content, and how the artifacts serve as a learning tool.
