Based on the “mind-expanding” AI variety show that sold out in NYC, LA, and CDMX, and fresh off of runs at Meta Connect, Disney, and Unilever, IT WRITES ITSELF is “an AI creativity workshop for people who hate workshops.” Part playground, part performance, it’s an interactive mash-up of AI experiments, games, stories and surprises tailored to the folks in the room, resulting in a fun, funny, weird, and occasionally existential workshop like none other. You’ll leave with your brain rewired, curiosity lit up, and a newfound way to explore AI that’s actually fun.
