The practical guide (only included in the book version) helps you identify what your strengths are and what artists you most likely will identify with. Personally, I could probably never be an Artisan like Bill Evans or BB King because my dominant traits aren't dedication, discipline, meticulousness, etc. However, if I develop those traits I have a chance.

As an interdisciplinary artist, my projects are usually spontaneous, empathetic, and largely go unnoticed (except for Rejection Therapy). I embark on projects without any formal training, learning on the way. I fit best as a Level 1 Outsider.

There's a "natural state" where an artist's dominant traits stand out and their impact is most felt. Frank Black of the Pixies is one example of an artist who started as a Level 4 Innovator but settled into being an Artisan later in his solo career. But ChatGPT and I both agreed he's primarily an innovator. That's where his impact is felt most, is his work with the Pixies.

Hi, author and creator here. The Cool Continuum shouldn't be the final word on whether, for example, Billy Idol is a Rebel or an Innovator. But I think ChatGPT gives the most unbiased perspective. I also leaned on ChatGPT to analyze artists like Beyoncé, who I knew nothing about (but I was curious where she fit on the continuum).

ChatGPT provides the "even hand" to be able to evaluate fairly, and more broadly, in less time. I think it's an ideal project for AI assistance.

Single has nothing to do with age. It means you are not in a committed relationship.

A sign of the times. Classical and ambient music are getting more popular as we are all stressed out, and there is no end in sight.

You prioritize experiences over material goods. Nothing wrong with that.

Interesting point. With high inflation and many professions being made obsolete by AI, cooking and baking authentic cultural foods at home may become the new obsession.

DALL-E looks awful? I think results depend on the prompt modifiers you use. Personally, I'm happy with DALL-E, and generally prefer it to Midjourney.

Google must compete with ChatGPT though. Failure is not an option here. Microsoft has put Google in a corner and it is fight or die.
