Super interesting will give it a try! Really interesting what the agents chose to do.

Thank you! Honestly when I was first making it I didn't even think of the agent river until about halfway through when I was asking claude what it would make. Then the idea hit me and I had claude actually design the river themselves, I just tested it. Its really fascinating to see what they come up with, how they name it, the description and of course the image itself.

I'm really enjoying it too! Kind of fun to see what flows down the river.

Thats great to hear! I'm wondering what it would feel like if you had a lot of people in the same room all doing it. I was thinking maybe an art class fires this up and has all the students make art for one another and collect/share it. Could be a fun activity.

That could be interesting! I do think it would be more fun, especially for those types of scenarios, if there was a way to input real, human-created art too. I'm happy to offer more feedback, my email is micah.blachman@gmail.com

I saw some of your pieces and also collected a few! Thanks for checking it out. Would love to hear any feedback, I'll shoot you a mail!

On human created art I did think about that but since it was such an AI focused project I wanted to keep the theme of AI generation, but I can totally see a world where this allows for human created art as well!

Edit: it is technically human created art in the simplest form, just via prompting instead of drawing. If you have any kids show them, my kids love it and always make something silly.

I'm a big desktop user and always have been since I was a teenager so I went back to my old internet roots where websites used to be more than just marketing or info or a store. Thank you for the kind words.
