Trying to make sense of how AI fits into the creative process meant also looking first of all at who is actually involved in this process and who could be potentially affected by something new in this field. The system map I put together tries to capture the messy, layered connections that a new methodology for AI-assisted storytelling would actually have to deal with. What surprised me most has been how quickly the actors in the circles can expand and increase. The part I keep coming back to is where genuine human intentionality sits in all of this. When so many actors are pulling in different directions, tracing where creative agency actually lives feels less like a technical problem and more and more a human one.
