Having spent a lot of time talking to engineers working on AI tools, I find the idea that AI is intended to replace creativity comes entirely from internet comment sections and not from the engineers working on AI.
The engineers working on AI should speak up, then. To say that the barrel is rotten is an understatement; it's more like a bunch of rotten apples and you're trying to find the one good one.
That's why the conversation feels more like the NFT boom. MAYBE it had merit, but it didn't matter
It’s when it’s used as a replacement for creativity that really gets to me.
