AI Storytelling and Narrative with Linus Ekenstam
Personalized AI-assisted storytelling for children
is a long-time product leader, AI educator, and the creator of Bedtimestory.ai. Parents use Bedtimestory to create personalized stories for their children. We discussed how language models enable new types of products that deliver higher levels of personalization and new forms of narrative structure; his learnings from product leadership at companies such as Typeform. We talked about world building, Dungeons & Dragons, and some of the unique aspects of building AI products for children.
We also spent time on the big picture: what it means to transition from the Age of Information to the Age of Intelligence; whether Prompt Engineering is an actual job; and how AI might help restore nuance to the currently-polarized conversations that pervade the internet.
