I was thinking about starting a new creative project recently. But then I thought - with how quickly AI is advancing, in just a few years an AI will probably be able to do this in just minutes. So it made me feel kind of apathetic and think, “Why should I bother starting this big project now if an AI could do it for me in a few years?”
I’m curious if others feel this way or if the advancement of AI is making people less motivated to start big, creative projects since the work could just be automated by an AI soon anyways. It could increase apathy and make people feel like “why bother?” Am I overthinking this? Does the possibility of AI taking over certain tasks in the future make you less motivated to start projects and learn new skills? Would love to hear others’ thoughts on this!
No, because the point is to express yourself and tap into your imagination. Did chess players stop playing when a computer finally beat the best of them? Did musicians give up playing when digital synthesizers came into existance? No because the point is the human endeavor of play and curation. I don’t care if computers can generate any picture possible like the canvas of babel or generate every piece of literature to ever exist like the library of babel. through the power of fancy math. the piece has no intention or spirit of life. All AI art is good for is concept art and shit quality porn.
