[愛墾研創]詩性勞作vs批判性再想像～～文創是詩性勞作，既有批判精神也有原創洞察力，相輔相成。

在這樣的期望中，AI作為文創的空間非常大。 

這命題已經觸及了這項技術最令人興奮、也最具挑戰性的前沿。如果我們將文化與創意產業（CCI）視為一種「詩性勞動」（Arnold 意義上的 poetic labor），那麼AI就不再只是單純的「修復工具」，而會轉變為一種能促進批判洞見與原創創作的協作媒介。 

AI作為「詩性勞動空間」的潛力，主要體現在三個關鍵領域：

從「被動修復」到「批判性再想像」 

與其用AI去創造一種對過去的「可愛幻象」，詩性勞動會用它來質詢與重新思考過去。 

洞見：創作者可能會使用A 為一張老照片上色，但目的不是讓它「變漂亮」，而是為了凸顯某個被忽略的重要細節——例如某位勞工衣服上鮮豔的染料色彩，而這些細節在歷史書中被遺忘了。 

倫理：這並不是「認知上的錯誤」，因為它並不宣稱自己是最終真相；它是一種詮釋性的行動，利用科技去激發我們對生活提出新的問題。 

「演算法式陌生化」作為原創洞見

詩性勞動常常包含一種策略：把熟悉的事物變得「陌生」，以迫使我們獲得新的視角（即陌生化）。

過程：AI可以處理大量「舊材料」，從中發現人類肉眼難以察覺的模式、矛盾，或檔案中的「幽靈」。

結果：當AI的「非人邏輯」與人類的「詩性意圖」並置時，就會產生第三空間——它既不是單純的過去複製，也不只是科技展示，而是一種批判我們如何理解時間與記憶的原創作品。

安頓現代人的靈魂（Arnold 的目標） 

如果詩性勞動的目標是「安頓生命」，AI可以透過創造沉浸式橋樑來提供幫助。 

願景：想像一個AI驅動的文化計畫，它不只是「修復」1920 年代的街景，而是讓現代觀眾能夠與那個時代的倫理困境互動。 

道德核心：在這裡，「感官增強」並不是目的本身，而是承載同理心的容器。真正的原創洞見來自創作者對「要強化什麼、為什麼強化」的選擇，從而確保技術服務於對生命的批判與反思。 

「詩性」的門檻

「認知錯誤」（用虛假的可愛感欺騙觀眾）與「詩性勞動」（利用 AI 加深洞見）之間的差別，在於意圖性（Intentionality）。 

在前者中，AI是主人；在後者中，AI只是詩人手中的畫筆——而這位「詩人」明白，最終目標不是得到一張更清晰的影像，而是獲得對人類處境更清晰的理解。 

要在AI時代界定一位進行「詩性勞作」的創作者之「創作誠信（Creative Integrity）」，我們必須將焦點從「手工磨練」轉向「意義建構」的倫理。

以下是界定 AI 創作者誠信的三大支柱

意圖的透明性（反幻覺支柱）

誠信始於拒絕欺騙。如果創作者使用AI來色彩化或「修復」舊素材，他們有責任說明這是一場「歷史重建」還是「詩性詮釋」。

界定標準：當創作者承認AI只是其觀看的「透鏡」而非「真相本身」時，誠信便得以建立。這能防止「偽懷舊」造成的認知錯誤，向受眾發出訊號：「這是我對過去情感共鳴的想像，而非事實紀錄。」

「批評」的盈餘（阿諾德式支柱）：追隨阿諾德「對生活的批評」理論，誠信取決於創作者在演算法預設輸出之外，額外添加了什麼。 

界定標準：如果創作者只是按一下「增強」鍵並全盤接受AI的「美化」偏見，這便缺乏誠信。真正的創作誠信需要原創洞察——利用 AI 去突顯某個特定的反諷、一段被遺忘的掙扎，或一種隱藏的美。這個「盈餘」就是挑戰或導引機器機率的人類觀點。 

對「素材來源」的倫理守護（責任支柱）：由於AI創作者處理的是「既有內容」（他人的生命與作品），誠信涉及對原主體的關懷義務。 

界定標準：這種加工是「榮耀」還是「剝削」了主體？有誠信的創作者會避免「視覺綁架」——例如強行讓歷史悲劇人物露出「AI式微笑」以賺取流量。誠信存在於轉化過程中對尊嚴的維護。 

「提示詞即策展」的主權：在詩性勞作中，提示詞（Prompt）與策展（Curation）是新的「畫筆」。 

界定標準：誠信體現在篩選的嚴謹性。一個誠實的創作者不會隨機生成一千張圖並挑選最容易「病毒式傳播」的那張；他們會在無數次迭代中引導AI，直到找到那張能精確捕捉其「生活批評」的影像。 

誠信界定對照表

具備誠信（詩性勞作）：目標非「修復」或「美化」過去。為了「審問」或「安頓」生命。AI角色：工具（受導引的洞察）。

缺乏誠信（認知錯誤）：產出無縫且具欺騙性的幻覺。刻意且透明的視覺呈現。AI角色：主導者（自動化產出）。

Nandita Abraham: What Will Change In The Creative Industries After 2020?

Note to students and young professionals 

The Creative Industries: Design, fashion, communication, media and all innovative businesses have been looked at by students and young graduates with great interest. These are careers that promise excitement, purpose, travel, self-fulfilment and money. Working with design and media students for the last twenty years, I have seen gradual changes in the industry and worked to readjust classroom learning accordingly. 2020 has been different. In 2020 we saw radical shifts like never before. Shifts in the way we approach, create and consume design, fashion and media. Disruption and chaos all around. 

Many young people ask me: Will the creative industries die or become less important? What has changed? What will stay changed? How can we prepare ourselves to be successful in the new normal? Who is responsible for growing and evolving the industry? These are some of the questions you will find an answer to in this post.

Creative Industries will grow in importance. 

Media and communication industries are growing the world over. Entertainment, Games, E-sports, User Experience, Space Design, Internet of Things, Interactive Products, Moving Images are innovating rapidly. Creativity and Design are identified as clear skills essential not only in their industries but also in all industries across the board. Designers are being called upon to work in consulting companies looking at solving products and services, systems, etc. The industry will flourish, the jobs you do may change, you will have to be resilient and adaptive to learning new skills, but 100% there will be super exciting things for you to do.

Here are some changes that have already started trending and will take full form over the next two years:

Everything Digital

Software and digital interfaces to create, to communicate, to experience to market and design. Online interactions, digital sampling, 3-D views, digital events, walkthrough experiences, are here to stay. Augmented and virtual reality, avatars, digital badges and a whole simulation of life online.

Careers in Content

There is increased consumption and influence of digital content, both visual and written. Careers in content creation, curation and management will become way more lucrative and exciting in the future. Bloggers, vloggers, photo bloggers, video content creators, ad films, fashion films, influencers, to name a few.

Health is Wealth

Physical and mental well-being are vital trends both for today and the future. Design and Design thinking around health services, apps, products, naturopathy, fabric finishes and health trackers will be central to our concerns even after the pandemic. Simultaneously, a whole slew of well-being services like counselling, meditation, yoga, coaching and various therapies will gain importance. A lot of this will be conducted online.

Technology Centred Products and Fashion

The internet of things and our way of living will include more and more experiences with products and services embedded with technology. Applications to improve nearly everything will be available. Wired clothing for different climates and body shapes, doctors, the army, people with disabilities and sportspeople.

AI as a Designer/Creator

The amount of data that AI centres are collecting is already equipping them to churn out products based on consumers’ preferences and usage. Logos and communication are also AI-led. This will continue to happen, and designers and creators may have to explore collaborating with AI for magic. Scripts could be AI-created, experiences AI designed.

Consciousness

Through the pandemic, one of the mind shifts we have seen is that people have become more conscious. Conscious of what they consume, how much, where they buy from, where their product was made, what raw materials etc. Sustainability, sustainable design and processes have become more critical than ever before and will stay.

With the breakdown of large retail formats and digital ways to reach your consumer like Instagram, there will be an increased number of smaller entrepreneur designers. This democratisation of design will benefit conceptual designers and those with new innovative ideas. The consumer too, will lookout for a designer who matches his values and aesthetics

Everything Designed

Yes, all industries are looking at Design and creativity as core differentiators for their work. IT, hospitality, infrastructure, health, governance, systems all are beginning to be a canvas for Design.

To be successful, differentiate and prepare yourself. 

This is an opportune time for young people to reset their expectations and prepare themselves for the times ahead. It is not enough to have a college degree, even if it is in design or fashion of media. You will not be judged based on the degree but on what you can do.

As per the world economic forum, the top skills required in the future are analytical thinking and innovation, active learning, complex problem solving, creativity, originality and initiative. Skills that will become more important are new technologies, adaptiveness and agility. Multidisciplinarity, collaboration with people from other areas and communication are critical as you go along.

You will have to reflect and see what kind of a creative you would like to be, which of these skills you would like to hone and how. This is an excellent opportunity for you to really look at what is important to you. Look at the changes in the industry. See how you can build your experience and your portfolio. Differentiate yourself and create your own brand name.

Learn something online

There are multiple sites, many of them free where you can learn more. Do these courses to learn more, not just for certification. Learn about AR, VR. AI. ML. Try Coursera, IBM, Lynda.com

Identify and follow attractive role models

Look at what others are doing the world over. These may be designers, influencers, futurists, thinkers. Anyone who could inspire you through their work and viewpoints.

Keep abreast of changes in the world

Changes don’t have to be in Design but anything you are interested in; music, gaming, gardening, UI, speculation. Attend talks, conferences, concerts, international design awards, places where you will see more and hear new ideas.

Grab any opportunity to do multidisciplinary projects

Network as much as possible and look for opportunities to participate in hackathons and other projects where people are looking for interested people to work with. Do them. You will meet people from different disciplines, learn from them, and create something unique that no one else will have.

Learn to tell your story well

This is very important. Creating or telling your story is like a performance. It has to wow people, have an intense journey and a takeaway that makes you and your work special.

Take charge of your future.

As a creative individual approach each situation, each problem, looking at the possibilities. Don’t treat anything as ordinary. Take every opportunity now, it doesn’t matter if it is a lockdown. Life goes on, and it is not waiting for anyone. Create your network; meet as many people as possible. Ask questions. Learn new things.

Also, get some help yourself. Get a counsellor, find a mentor who understands you and will encourage you to push your boundaries. Create a support group of positive like-minded people who will not judge you.

Keep learning, keep working. Freelance. Freelance for free — you never know when you will meet someone or get an opportunity that will change your life. Remember these are extraordinary times and its very special to be a part of these times.

You are the Covid Creatives!

Your skills are the envy of many. You are responsible for your success. If you can manage yourself, manage your learning, manage your mindset — you will create a path and career that is robust and full of possibilities. （Jan 10, 2021）
