We’re at a creative crossroads with AI. Most people think it’s either creative salvation or creative apocalypse.

I believe it’s neither—it’s a humble creative machine that becomes powerful when you know how to work with it.

I’m Declan Dunn, and I help creators and businesses co-create with AI, turning humble machines into powerful creative partners.

Instead of trying to be a human large language model, I’m a Creative AI Strategist.

Through The AI Optimist, I share the ingenious, practical ways real creators are co-creating with AI—the stuff you don’t read in the mainstream hype.
