Gleb Tsipursky: With the rise of AI, creativity shifts from generation to curation
In the most practical sense, we are now much less limited by ideas than ever before. Even people who don’t consider themselves creative now have access to a machine that will generate innovative concepts that beat those of most humans (though not the most creative ones). Where previously, there were only a few people who had the ability to come up ... See more

This is a common error, which existed long before AI. In fact, generating (or selecting) good ideas is a key challenge. LLMs so far seem to be about as good as the internet at generating lots of quite generic ideas - those who can select the ones that match their context (and yes, then, execute on them) are the ones who will have a chance to succeed.
AI’s creative contribution also enhances the creative performance of old intellectuals, because the bottom line is not the number of ideas.

From Ezra Klein:
AI might be able to churn out content faster than we can, but we still need a human mind to sift through and figure out what’s good. In other words, A.I. is going to turn more of us into editors. But editing is a peculiar skill. It’s hard to test for, or teach, or even describe. But it’s the crucial step in the creative process that

As the expression of ideas becomes exponentially easier, the ideas themselves become more of the differentiator (yes, I think “Prompt Engineering” will become a discipline in and of itself!). Good ideas aren’t derived solely from logic and patterns of the past; they’re also the product of human traumas, mistakes of the eye, and uniquely human inge
