About Me

    Hiya, my name is Ivattavi Kim. I was born in May of the year 2000 in the United States. All my life I've seen the issues that plague us humans and thought that there was a better way. I am a reserved person so I don't speak to people much but when I do try and express my ideas or hopes it comes off awkward and I don't get my point across. Our language isn't great for conveying complex and nuanced ideas without a great deal of context. For a long time this made me despondent and listless. I felt like I was alone in a world full of people who couldn't see the pain they were causing others and themselves. The people around me could not see the connection between the welfare of others and their own well-being. Humanity could be great, we could be wonderful. I just couldn't find a way to communicate that to people.

   In Q1 2023 I knew about AI but hadn't really dug into or kept up with the news. One day I decided to play around with ChatGPT 3.5 and I was stunned. It had been years since I had seen the likes of Cleverbot and other such hamfisted janky AIs but nothing like modern natural language models. Shortly after I found Midjourney and was blown away again.
