Summary

Helps writers, designers, illustrators, musicians and other makers decide whether, where and how AI belongs in their practice. It starts from a no-AI baseline and adds two lenses (creative value and production) alongside the 4D Framework, with a focus on authorship and distinctiveness.

  • Use the Creative Value Lens and Production Lens to judge where AI fits in creative work
