In a postgraduate Design and Architecture studio, students used ChatGPT to speculate on future trends and MidJourney to visualize them. This process included training ChatGPT as a futurist, creating future scenarios, and refining these ideas iteratively. Exhibited works showcased in Melbourne Design Week demonstrated how generative AI aids in creative thinking and problem-solving, encouraging students to critically engage with their biases and perceptions. This method, blending text and image generation with critical analysis, is adaptable across various disciplines to enhance speculative and interdisciplinary education.
