As you pointed out here, people don't realize the breadth of creativity that already exists in their daily lives. Cooking a meal. Playing games with toddlers who inspire whole new scenarios in their pretend lives. How to teach someone a new skill. Lots of creativity that doesn't even include "the arts." When people hear the word "creativity," that's what they think it is. The Arts! Well, there's just a whole lot more creativity in our lives that we don't acknowledge. Thank you for pointed it out, Jason.
I'm glad you picked up on that. I hate how so many books on creativity act like you have to get up at 4:00 am and become a monk to be creative. Caregivers are some of the most creative people we have. Creativity is so much more than just the "arts".
Well done. I appreciate that you addressed this piece to those most inclined to embrace AI and spoke to their motivations for doing so. Artists and creative people of all varieties need to discuss creative expression more, explaining why it is our birthright and how it can bring us to life. Your essay is a terrific example. Thank you!
Full of good points.
Thanks, Stanley!
An essay worthy of manifesto status!! There is no way I'm going to let AI take away what I most enjoy: writing and thinking!!
Thank you! I will keep my art, but as a compromise, I'm willing to let AI do the laundry.
I wouldn’t trust AI with washing my wool sweaters.

Standing ovation! Yes, all of this!
Thanks, Molly!
Provocative and intense. Your “unholy convergence” is so fitting.
