AI prompt: “Oblique strategies”

The seed of DZ/AI is inspired by the random and yet heavily curated ‘Oblique Strategies’ card deck by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt. This exceptional framework for play, thinking and creation proposes a host of different short phrases, each encapsulating a key idea that can act as a seed or starting point.

One of my favourite of the injunctions is “Give way to your worst impulse”. This site might be my strongest, if not worst, impulse (to communicate) writ large. Enough said. DZ/AI has been trained partly on the oblique strategies, with thanks to Messrs. Eno and Schmidt.

DZ/AI is starting modest, and will expand its agency and functionality over time. DZ/AI is a work in progress. Try the free version here.
