Is the Prompt the New Pencil?

In the age of “AI First” everything, we need to start asking better questions. Not just what AI can do, but how it’s reshaping the creative act itself. This talk isn’t about panic or praise. It’s about perspective.

We’ve taught generations how to use pencils, cameras, and design software. But have we started teaching how to use a prompt? Because AI isn’t just a shortcut. It’s becoming the canvas, the brush, and the collaborator.

Today at REALIITY HOUSE IN Al Shindagha I’ll explore the shifting space between authorship, imagination, and machine learning. What happens when the tools we use start thinking back and begin shaping what we make in return?
