What makes something unique or creative? Does it all have to do with the person making it? Is creativity the ability to form an idea and turn it into something real? With the slow rise of technology and AI, is there any point in creating our own works?
I discovered this new AI called ChatGPT. It’s an AI that can take any prompt you give it and relay information back to you. This can be anything from writing full segments of code, coming up with video scripts, designing bedrooms, writing poetry, and so much more. I can’t even begin to grasp the innumerable applications for ChatGPT.
Just from messing around with it, this has me questioning creativity and where we’re going to go from here. If I can tell an AI to write a blog about habit formation and it does, what good is my voice? For musicians who have writers block, what’s stopping them from feeding ChatGPT prompts and having it write a catchy verse?
Is there any reason for anyone to try being creative anymore? Should all the writers, musicians, artists, etc. simply ask the AI? Why waste our time and energy forming new ideas? Why write our own longwinded articles, develop apps on our own time, or do anything creative?
This is something I have to consider more because I have yet to find clarity. I need to ponder the capabilities of ChatGPT and see where human creations differ. What makes our work unique, special, and worth producing? There has to be something, right?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this as I continue pondering the implications, so please comment below, DM, or reach out however you can!
