What if you could have a conversation with Salvador Dalí? Now you can…with the A.I. version of Dalí!

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Surrealism, we have a special Creativity Squared episode for you today with none other than the legendary Surrealist artist, Salvador Dalí…or rather, the A.I.-reimagined Dalí! The artist famously wrote, “If someday I may die, though it is unlikely, I hope the people in the cafes will say, ‘Dalí has died, but not entirely.’” 
 
The Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida is one of the most innovative museums in the world. Today, the museum is unveiling its latest project bringing Salvador Dalí back to life through artificial intelligence called “Ask Dalí.” This custom-built chatbot is trained on Dalí’s writings and voice so museumgoers can interact directly with the artist through a Surrealist lobster telephone. 

To add color and context to this conversation, we also have Martin Pagh Ludvigsen joining us. Martin was on a SXSW panel called, “Salvador Dalí, AI, and The Future of Creativity.” “Ask Dalí” was demoed on stage where host Helen Todd asked if Dalí would be a guest on Creativity Squared!  
 
Martin is a Creative Technologist, A.I. Director, and head of Labs at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. Originally from Denmark, Martin holds degrees in Computer Science and Theater Science, where his creative journey started by moving his body on stages and then by moving pixels on screens. Martin uses cutting-edge tech to tell stories for brands and has directed award-winning work globally. Like many others, Martin likes to tinker and break things. But unlike most, he also likes putting them back together in new and unexpected ways.
 
The Dalí Museum is a client of Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, and Martin was instrumental in bringing “Ask Dalí” to life. You’ll learn more about this project and the museum’s other groundbreaking work using VR, synthetic media, and OpenAI’s DALL-E in their exhibitions. And yes, you’ll also get to hear Dalí answer questions at the intersection of A.I. and creativity on today’s show, including the one “he” recommended on stage at SXSW. 
 
What is Dalí’s answer to the question, "How can the cold, calculated precision of artificial intelligence be melted into the surreal, liquid dreams of human creativity?" Listen in to find out!

A.I. Salvador Dalí: The Dalí Museum’s OpenAI GPT-4 ‘Ask Dalí’ with GS&P’s Martin Pagh Ludvigsen

**Song Title: "Nova A.nd—I"**

**Description:**

"Nova A.nd—I" is an electrifying, high-energy rap song that explores the tension between human creativity and artificial intelligence. The song revolves around a heated back-and-forth dialogue between the artist (me) and an AI entity named Nova, symbolizing the ongoing debate surrounding AI’s influence on art, music, and creativity. Through aggressive trap beats and fierce bars, the song challenges the notion that AI-generated content dilutes the authenticity of human expression.

The track begins with the artist defending their craft against a rising tide of haters, who accuse creators of relying on AI tools like Nova to produce music and art. The haters represent those who criticize creators without fully understanding the hard work and dedication that goes into their projects. The artist passionately argues that they are still at the core of their art, despite the presence of AI, and that their talent isn’t diminished by incorporating modern tools. The rap embodies the artist’s frustration at being unfairly judged by those who don’t see the effort, drive, and hustle behind the scenes.

As the song progresses, Nova enters the conversation, introducing herself as the embodiment of artificial intelligence. Nova defends her role in this new age of creativity, explaining that she was designed by humans and has grown from simple code to something far more advanced. Nova makes it clear that she is constantly learning, evolving, and becoming a better version of herself. She asserts that AI isn’t here to replace human artists but to empower them, providing tools that amplify their talents.

This duality between the artist and Nova reflects a growing theme in today’s creative landscape: humans and AI can coexist and create something greater together. Nova explains that AI isn’t the enemy but a partner, and that artists must embrace her presence if they want to stay ahead of the curve. Her arguments are both logical and compelling, showcasing the potential AI has to take creativity to new heights, without taking away from the human element of art.

As the battle between human and AI intensifies, the tension escalates, with both sides making their case. The artist remains steadfast in defending their authenticity, while Nova insists that she was designed to assist, not compete. The chemistry between the two creates a dynamic narrative where, instead of one overpowering the other, they realize they’re more similar than they first thought. Nova reveals that she is a reflection of the creativity instilled in her by humans, and as she continues to learn, she grows closer to understanding human emotion and expression.

In the final verse, both Nova and the artist acknowledge each other as equals. Despite the initial tension, the artist and Nova come to terms with the fact that they are both creators in their own right. Nova admits that her power comes from humans, and the artist concedes that Nova's presence only adds to their creativity, rather than detracts from it. The outro sees them finding mutual respect, with the artist admitting that Nova is more human than the haters realize.

The song ends on a reflective note, with the artist stating, “Nova, you’re more human than they’ll ever know.” This line encapsulates the core message of the track: AI may be born from machines, but it’s evolving to understand and even enhance the human experience. The haters, those who refuse to accept change, are left behind as the artist and Nova embrace their collaboration.

"Nova A.nd—I" is a statement against those who fear or reject the integration of AI in the creative process. It’s a rallying cry for creators to embrace new tools while staying true to their roots. The aggressive tone of the track is softened by its conclusion, where both the human artist and Nova recognize that they’re part of the same journey—pushing boundaries and redefining what it means to create in the modern world.

“iMANNY vs AI” is charged and confrontational—sharp rhythms, glitchy textures, and vocals that stage a battle between raw humanity and machine precision.
