what is the best career for creativity if AI keeps taking the creative part out of it?
ngl, the whole ai and creativity debate has been bothering me way more than I expected.
I'm 25, I write and do design, and lately I've been wondering what the hell we're even supposed to do with creativity if AI can generate a paragraph, a logo, an image, a whole concept in like 10 seconds. And yeah, I get it. ai creativity can be useful. I’m not gonna pretend it’s completely evil lol. If I’m stuck on something, using AI as a tiny assistant to brainstorm or catch mistakes? Fine.
But when people start saying “just let AI do the creative work”... nah. That’s literally the part I actually enjoy.
Writing something shitty, deleting half of it, staring at the screen, getting frustrated, randomly finding one sentence that works. Same with design. Trying 15 versions before something finally clicks.
Those are the actual creativity skills I care about.
Maybe I'm just being stubborn, but I don't want creativity to become another thing where the human is basically just approving machine output. I've seen enough creativity quotes about “trusting your creative process” to know the process IS the point.
AI can assist me. It shouldn't replace the reason I create in the first place.
