The AI Revolution in Education: How Google Plans to Unlock Human Potential

Posted on by Mike


Google’s new report imagines AI as a personal tutor, teaching assistant, and global equaliser in education, but can it truly unlock human potential without losing the human heart of learning?

One of my favourite podcasts, that I listen to every week without fail, is called, ‘The Artificial Intelligence Show’. It was here that I first heard about this report, ‘AI and The Future of Learning’ published by Google, outlining what they see as the future of education and learning.

The Puddle I’m Sitting In

Posted on by Mike

I quite often put an idea for a short story into one of my favourite chatbots just to see what it gives back to me. Every now and then I will post one on the blog for no other reason than it appealed to me. Hopefully these stories will resonate with you as well.

When Two Images Became a Story

Posted on by Mike

An experiment in AI rewriting, reflection, and creative growth.

This week’s AI Drabble Challenge began with a simple idea: combine two images and ask an AI to tell a story. I’ve used images before as creative sparks, but this time I wanted to see what would happen if I merged two, not just visually, but emotionally.

The result was a story that didn’t just emerge from AI; it evolved through it. What started as a neat 100-word piece became something richer, deeper, and strangely more human.

AI Creativity Myths Busted

Posted on by Mike

The light, chatty truth behind what AI can, and can’t, really do.

There’s a lot of chatter out there about artificial intelligence and creativity.
Depending on who you ask, AI is either a genius, a fraud, or a polite little assistant who can’t draw hands.

So today I thought I’d tackle a few of the biggest myths about AI and creativity, the ones that seem to cause the most panic and the loudest pub arguments. Don’t worry, this isn’t a lecture. Think of it as a chat over a cuppa about what really happens when humans and algorithms start co-creating.

When AI Slows Down: A Human Moment in The Waiting Room

Posted on by Mike


What happens when AI writes a story about love, loss, and waiting? In this post, I explore a quieter, more human side of AI creativity through a story called The Waiting Room.

Why This Story Matters

Most of the AI stories I’ve shared so far have been short, 100-word Drabbles with a twist or a spark of dark humour. This week, I wanted to slow down. I asked AI to write something longer, something that felt real rather than clever.

The result surprised me. The Waiting Room isn’t about robots, algorithms, or technology. It’s about people, and the fragile moments that bind us together when life tilts sideways.
