This course gives you the lens the rest of the series is built on. You will learn to tell the difference between creative work that has depth and work that only has a surface, and to judge any piece by the direction it moved rather than how polished it looks.
Through the ideas of centrifugal creativity and centripetal collapse, you will see why some work feels alive and layered while AI-assisted work can feel flat, even when it looks impressive. By the end you can diagnose your own work, separate a style from the philosophy that produced it, and spot where a good enough copy has quietly replaced something real.
Welcome to See It: Depth vs Surface.
This is the foundation of the Who Pays Stays series, and the lens every other course uses.Use the workbook and powerpoint to go deeper into each idea and answer the challenge questions on your own work.
Do not rush the activities. The value is not in finishing, it is in applying the lens to something you actually made.
Level: beginner friendly, foundational. Lessons: 4, each with an activity and a quiz. Format: interactive Genially slides. Estimated time: about 60 to 75 minutes. Language: English. Part of the Who Pays Stays series of five linked courses.
No prior knowledge needed. Bring one or two pieces of your own creative work to apply the ideas to. An open mind about how you currently use AI helps.
