# Emotional Glossary for CreativeAI
This project attempts to **map the landscape of emotions** that we\* observe when we\* interact with **generative Machine Learning** systems in a **creative** manner.
Particularly it looks at how these **emotions relate** to the **characteristic technical properties** (essential technical features, constitutive characteristics) of these systems:
- a continuous space of possible outcomes (latent space)
- a huge and (often unknown) training dataset
- fast output/generation
\*we = every person who uses these systems, be it in their artistic practice or for casual personal expression

Attributes of the creative process (or: workflow), such as control, exploration, search, reward, etc. serve as the connection between the emotions and the technical system and interface.
EMOTION <---> CREATIVE PROCESS/WORKFLOW <---> TECHNICAL SYSTEM/INTERFACE
This glossary consists of **three types of entries**:
- Emotions (e.g. "Surprise")
- Other terms: Concepts related creative process (e.g. "Remix") or technical/ML terms (e.g. "Seed")
- Entries by people with their individual observations (starting with the prefix "entry-")
- they are either in the form of submissions to the [survey](https://blocksurvey.io/survey/16rchbVayL7ckqKxcg86JpvB6oEsgY2MvG/06bfb48f-082c-4cf8-99c1-30fb6c20290c/r/l) or cherry-picked quotes from the internet

Oh..!
I like the direction in which it’s going…
What the heck?!
Ok…Looks interesting…
I’m gonna kill this early and try with another (random) seed
