The recent history of AI in 32 otters Three years of progress as shown by marine mammals

As always, I appreciated @emollick.bsky.social's commentary on AI. #SocialWorkAiArt will appreciate his discussion about the changes in image generation... #SWTech

Great. Thank you so much, Ian. I hear the echoes of #SocialWorkAiArt... :-)

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt prompt is "Circles." One of the first skills I learned in my MSW program was how to put chairs into a circle. Ecosystems is visualized as concentric circles. What's old is new. So many possibilities. #SWTech @igraywill @JimmySW @lauranissen #SWFutures

Love the prompt, @pattylcsw. I asked #midjourneyV61 to interpret the prompt with "watercolor." #SocialWorkAiArt #SWTech

Twitter/X has been so important to my professional career. Celebrating 15 years is bittersweet - it isn't what it used to be. I miss the community, flattened hierarchy, and generative discussions. But, nothing has replaced it... #MyXAnniversary #SWTech #SocialWorkAiArt

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt prompt is: "4 dead in Georgia High School Shooting." Interpret it however you want. @igraywill @JimmySW @laurelhitchcock @alicitadelfina

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt theme is: "a world without the resources we need." Politicians campaign on making a better world, but so often they underfund or eliminate the things we actually need (e.g. good public transportation, public libraries, etc). @igraywill @JimmySW #SWFutures

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt theme is "Social Workers..." I asked #MidjourneyV61 to create images in the style of a New Yorker cartoon. Not sure why so many of the social workers look surprised. Caption contest? Have fun y'all. @igraywill @JimmySW @alicitadelfina @Grace_Durbin

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt prompt is "alternate pasts." I chose to go with 1890 postcard of a Black social worker working on a computer. @igraywill @JimmySW @lauranissen @alicitadelfina #SWTech #SWFutures

I'm really impressed with #midjourneyV61. I asked Midjourney to create a cityscape with Van Gogh's colors and Klimpt 's gold. Truly beautiful creations.

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt theme: "the dog days of summer." @igraywill @JimmySW @alicitadelfina @lauranissen @hcdawes @nasw @DrJulieHanks @newsocialworker

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt theme is: "Republican National Convention" because social work is political work. To be clear: All images were generated using #MidjourneyV6 #RNC2024
@igraywill @JimmySW @lauranissen

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt theme is social workers doing home visits. I envisioned #SWFutures where social workers are traveling across galaxies. The future looks cold, huh? #SWTech @igraywill @JimmySW @alicitadelfina @lauranissen

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt theme is: animals doing social work. #midjourneyV6 came up with some very cool images, but not sure they really capture what I think of when I think of social work... lots of greens and reds.
@igraywill @JimmySW @alicitadelfina @Grace_Durbin

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt theme is "the future is colorful" for no other reason than I wanted to make some colorful shit on Midjourney :-).
@igraywill @JimmySW @alicitadelfina @lauranissen @SWFuturesLab

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt theme is "depth work." I've been thinking about it a lot since posting episode 138. Sometimes, concrete and short-term changes are exactly what are needed. But across systems, too often we stop at surface changes.
@igraywill @JimmySW @alicitadelfina

To all my musician friends and everyone who loves music... you must play around with @suno_ai_. Create music text prompts. I'm legit inspired by the two tunes I prompted in about 30 seconds.
@igraywill @njsmyth @newsocialworker #SocialWorkAiArt

1. ...

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt theme is "The Future is Transformative." I liked what #Midjourney6 did with this prompt. #SWFutures #SWTech @igraywill @lauranissen @JimmySW @alicitadelfina

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt theme is "honoring our mentors." I learned that my first clinical supervisor and mentor, Guy Maddox, died a few days ago. His mentorship transformed me and thousands of others. I miss him dearly. @igraywill @JimmySW @lauranissen

Hot off the press! Episode 137 of the Social Work Podcast. The Role of AI in Child Welfare and Community Organizing: Interview with ChatGPT-4o.

Don't worry. It isn't HER.

@igraywill @TheGinaGi @AlanDettlaff

#ChatGPT #AI #Podcast #SocialWorkAiArt...

Today's #SocialWorkAIArt prompt is "Social Work is a continuous journey of discovery." Yes, it is about our ethical obligation to competence, but also about curiosity, transformation, and tikkun olam @igraywill @lauranissen @nasw @alicitadelfina @CSocialWorkEd #MidjourneyV6

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt prompt was inspired by the #swfuturesforum2024: "Mutant moments shape the future." #SWTech #SWFutures

@igraywill @alicitadelfina @JimmySW @hcdawes @newsocialworker @lauranissen

Here's a version with the modifier "Afrofuturism" at the end. #SWfuturesForum2024 #swtech #SocialWorkAiArt #swfutures

Quotes from the #SWfuturesForum2024 as imagined by AI image generators. "At the end of the day all of us have a relationship to space and time" #swtech #SocialWorkAiArt #swfutures @lauranissen @JimmySW
@oyinlolaolugbe1 @igraywill

Good morning! Looking forward to #SWfuturesForum2024 Day 3! I asked #Midjourney to imagine "there are multiple futures. Which ones will you be part of creating?" #swtech #SocialWorkAiArt #swfutures @lauranissen @JimmySW @oyinlolaolugbe1 @igraywill

Another from #SWfuturesForum2024 #Afrofuturism talk - the mothership. #swtech #socialworkaiart #swfutures @lauranissen @JimmySW
@oyinlolaolugbe1 @igraywill

In the #SWfuturesForum2024 #Afrofuturism talk - this is how #Midjourney interpreted "colonial legacy as a struggle by some and a dance by others." #swtech #socialworkaiart #swfutures @lauranissen
@JimmySW @oyinlolaolugbe1 @igraywill @JimmySW

In honor of Day 1 of the #swfuturesforum2024, today's #SocialWorkAiArt theme is "imagining futures." I love learning about the past to inspire my thoughts about possible futures; that combo inspired my images. Bring it! #SWTech @igraywill @JimmySW @lauranissen @alicitadelfina

Today's #SocialWorkAiArt theme is "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." As social workers, we are trained to start where the client is, including that which they find beautiful. #midjourney6 took this prompt very literally. #SWTech @igraywill @lauranissen @JimmySW

I think anyone interested in technology should check out this reel. The reframe of deepfakes as deep reality is profound and thought-provoking. #Swtech #socialworkaiart
