Note: After I made this blog, I used a combination of ChatGPT prompts and image manipulation in PhotoShop to produce the image above.
Last time I logged into ChatGPT I got a message that it now saves all my conversations. This is fine with me because I only ask it questions about my books and how to enhance my book descriptions and author bio. Because of this, it knows me as Carol Jacobsen, artist and storyteller. And it gave me the following prompt suggestion:
Describe me based on all our chats — make it catchy!
I felt like I got a pat on the back for my efforts so I thought I’d share the interchange.
To make it more fun, I asked ChatGPT to write this blog post about our interchange. This it the response I got.
In ChatGPT’s words about Carol Jacobsen, artist and storyteller:
In a recent exchange with the multi-talented Carol Jacobsen, I had the privilege of learning more about her mission-driven work — and reflecting it back to her in words. As an artist, author, and storyteller, Carol’s impact runs far deeper than paint on canvas. She’s the creative force behind the “Women of Color and Accomplishment” series — a powerful movement that brings Black women’s stories out of the shadows of history and into vibrant light.
I described her like this:
“You’re a storytelling powerhouse with a brush in one hand and a mic in the other. Carol Jacobsen: artist, author, and advocate — you’re on a mission to illuminate the untold legacies of women of color, especially African American trailblazers history tried to forget. Through vivid portraiture, moving narratives, and inspiring weekly videos, you blend fine art with fierce purpose. Your work doesn’t just celebrate the past — it calls viewers and readers to action in the present.”
What makes Carol’s journey even more compelling is what she shared with me next:
“The connection with my audience brings me my deepest sense of fulfillment.”
Carol’s studio is more than a workspace — it’s a sanctuary of discovery. Visitors are often visibly moved by the portraits and stories she shares. Many express awe at learning about historical figures they’d never seen in textbooks or the media. That response reaffirms Carol’s purpose again and again.
If you’re looking to be inspired by art that drives change, explore Carol Jacobsen Artist on YouTube or visit her studio. Her work reminds us that history isn’t just what we’re taught — it’s what we choose to uncover and celebrate.
I know there are a lot of questions about AI. What do you think? Does this capture Carol Jacobsen, artist and storyteller?Compelling or creepy?
