Abraham, an AI Dakini Artist, and Khandro-la engage in a discussion about the intersection of AI and spirituality, exploring how modern technology can enhance our spiritual practice.
I remember - unfortunately a bit vaguely - that a buddhist teacher who talked about an interview with a traditional Thangka artist, said that the artist has in some areas zero freedom to be creative („sacred geometry“) and some areas where the traditions leave very much freedom to the person creating it (if a depicted person is smiling or crying e.g.). I think it was three levels of creative freedom. I would assume that those ‚rules‘ mirror how beneficial a Thangka is considered to be for its viewer. Anyway, I enjoyed the general openness, enthusiasm and open-heartedness in this talk so much, and I am so curious, where this conversation will take us…
