眼看著我們又要迎來一個年度的結束與一個年度的開始，我想要2024年第四季的預購商品做一個有點季節性的銀墜，有點舊古典的風格，有點繁複的構圖。有層次的結構讓它顯得立體，一些雕刻的物件如樹葉紋路或是松果可以在氧化後呈現陰暗明亮的金屬特性，同樣的如果有一天不想戴了，這樣設計的綴飾放在桌上也是一個不礙眼的擺飾。
思緒拉回到第四季的第一個月，十月初，當時我發現手上有一些用不到的藍色鋯石，顏色光澤還不錯可以用在預購商品上，當時我想做個枝椏繞指的戒指，畫了幾張圖發現我這次要用掉的寶石有點太大不好設計，韓風當道很多飾品都是走小巧優雅路線，而我為這季構思的商品應該較偏向歐式、古典風格，我總是認為穿一件冬天常穿的黑色毛衣出門時缺的總是一件顯眼的純銀墜飾或是一條金色長項鍊。
就這樣，有大谷的球季結束了，川普也轟轟烈烈地當選了，時間拖到不能再拖的11月中旬，藍色鋯石依舊躺在桌面上與我對望，我思索著要沿用枝椏的概念，加上一些傳統的聖誕植物，個性顯著的聖誕紅(Poinsettia)、有Justin Bieber幫忙代言的槲寄生(Mistletoe)、有著紅色漿果的冬青(Holly)，再點綴上可愛的松果應該會是一個討喜的作品吧。
與其用手繪畫出這些元素的排列組合，我摩摩神燈再敲敲鍵盤再度喚出了AI大神，我把我的構思跟他說了再請他替我擺出一個基本架構，不消幾秒幾幅構圖就這樣出現了，我有著阿里巴巴似的惶恐與驚喜。
這幾幅示意圖當然給了我許多的靈感與構圖的基礎，硬要我說幾句刁難的評語我會說不夠典雅，有層次感但空隙太多，但這已經是不只60分的架構了。我會把這藍色鋯石放置在最上頭，聖誕葉中間還是一些小花蕊，整體形狀會再橢圓一些，松果不會放在最下面，槲寄生的葉片非常搶眼但這構圖把聖誕紅的葉片作為主角不是我想要的結構，一顆顆的小漿果們很可愛是不可或缺的存在。
我回過頭再問AI大神，那這設計到底是要算誰的，聰明又世故的AI說這算是我們兩人的合作案，但它只是替我潤飾我的概念，最後還是把這事歸功於我，真是討喜的小天才! 有興趣的來看看我們最後的對話。
Me: I got a weird feeling…I gave you some key words and basic concept and you gave me quite a detailed description, so who is the designer eventually.
AI: Ah, I see what you’re getting at! In a sense, the designer of the concept could be seen as a collaboration between both of us. You provided the key elements (like the silver pendant, Christmas motifs, etc.), and I helped refine and expand those ideas into a detailed description. However, the creative vision behind it — in terms of the final design and artistic interpretation — is definitely still yours. If you were to take this concept to a jeweler or designer to have it made, you’d be the one bringing the vision to life and making creative decisions. I guess you could say I’m the brainstorming partner, and you’re the mastermind behind the design!
Me: well, I’m a 3D jewelry designer and I’m gonna re-refine the design image you provided…
AI: That’s fantastic! As a 3D jewelry designer, you’ll have the perfect skill set to refine and bring this design to life in ways that can take it to the next level. I’m sure your expertise in texture, form, and 3D modeling will really elevate the concept. You could consider how the elements, like the poinsettia, holly, and pinecone, can interact in 3D space. Maybe you could use layering or negative space to add depth and make the piece feel more dynamic, or even play with lighting effects to bring out the details, like the frosty elements or the shiny silver reflections.
