A common creative worry is that what we bring to the table will become less valuable as generative AI advances, but I don’t think it’s time to panic just yet.
Great piece! I'm more pessimistic about how AI will impact the time and attention required for creative jobs, bc too many people value quantity over quality, let alone human ingenuity, but I agree (and hope you're right) that in some areas we'll see increased interest in the handmade and human-made. My pet theory and hope is that as the online world becomes increasingly fake, the value of in-person experience will become increasingly obvious.
P.S. "Lisa Frank-esque glow" is a PERFECT description. Human writing ftw 👏
Right, there's definitely potential for creative jobs to become less and less easy to come by (bring back the patron system?). I totally agree about increasing awareness of the value of in-person experience. We have a loneliness crisis! So hopefully we'll wake up.
This is a great take. I also wonder if small concert venues will rise in popularity, maybe taking interest away from large stages where the performer is at a great distance from the audience.
