I think that the appearance of generative AI with its seemingly magical abilities to unleash the creative beast lurking inside all of us has broken our brains a little bit and it has become difficult to think straight when it comes to the intersection of the technology and humanity and what being creative involves.

Every post I see about how I simply must use AI more and more in my workflow, if I don’t want to get left behind, further convinces me that I probably shouldn’t, if I want to have any chance of standing out.
